Amino Acid has been on the FDA shortage list for 5 years and 10 months (January 2021 to October 2026).

  1. 37 of the 397 listings measured since 2014 lasted at least that long.
  2. Of the 37 past listings that reached the same age, 91% were still listed 6 months later (30 listings measured).
  3. None of this predicts an end date. A listing ends when the FDA removes it, which reflects supply across the whole country, and says nothing about one pharmacy's shelf.
