Tag: Ndc

The FDA reports that, unlike pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements are regulated as food products, meaning they are not assigned a National Drug Code (NDC). This fundamental distinction means that consumers should not expect to find an NDC number for dietary supplements, as it is a unique identifier reserved exclusively for drugs in the United States.

The National Drug Code (NDC) is a unique, three-segment number assigned to every human drug product marketed in the United States, as required by the FDA. While 'vitamin K' is a broad term, the prescription form of vitamin K, phytonadione, has specific NDC numbers associated with its various manufacturers and formulations.
