What the Label Data Shows

With 16 ingredients on the label, VSL#3 Capsules is one of the more extensive non-nutrient/non-botanical supplement formulas from Alfasigma USA in the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD), sold in capsule form. These ingredients span 6 nutrient categories, bacteria, other, mineral, blend, and 2 more, reflecting a multi-component formula rather than a single-nutrient product.

Across a broader 16-ingredient formula, 16 of 16 fall outside the FDA's Daily Value system altogether, expected for a broader formula -- the more ingredients a label lists, the more likely it accumulates botanicals, amino acids, or specialty compounds the FDA has never benchmarked.

Market status matters for supplement research. This product is currently listed as on-market in the DSLD, with its label first entered into the database on 2024-10-24. This product is actively distributed in the U.S. right now. As with every DSLD entry, that listing reflects the manufacturer's self-declared label, not an independent safety or efficacy review.

About the DSLD database

The DSLD is a label database, not an FDA approval list, under the 1994 DSHEA framework, dietary supplements do not require pre-market approval, and label information reflects what manufacturers self-declare rather than independent laboratory verification. This page presents factual label data for reference only and is not medical advice; consult a licensed healthcare provider before making decisions about any supplement.
