VapoCept Supplement Facts, Line by Line
Four previous builds transcribed a photographed label. This one could not, and that difference shapes every figure on this page.
VapoCept has seven named ingredients totalling 665.5 mg a capsule, with no proprietary blend.
Serving size is 1 capsule and each bottle holds 30 servings. The two largest lines are L-arginine and L-arginine AKG 2:1, at 200 mg each.
See what each line does on the ingredients page.
The panel, as we can render it
Supplement Facts
Serving Size: 1 capsule
Servings Per Container: 30
† Daily Value not established.
Declared total, all seven lines added up: 665.5 mg.
Other Ingredients: Not supplied. No Other Ingredients line, capsule material, allergen statement or excipient list was given to this site.
Set from the figures in the seller’s brief. No panel artwork was supplied to this website, so this is a reconstruction rather than a transcription, and the distinction is the reason this sentence is here.
Read the provenance line under it
A Supplement Facts panel is a regulated document with a defined format. What is above is that format, filled with the figures we were given. It is not a photograph and it is not a transcription of one, and every previous build on this run was. If the real panel differs from this in any particular, the real panel is correct and we want to hear about it through the editorial inbox.
It is worth saying what this changes and what it does not. It does not change the arithmetic: the seller published these figures and the seller is accountable for them. It does change how much a reader should trust any detail we did not receive — the order of the lines, the exact wording, the footnote symbols, the Other Ingredients line, and the disclaimer.
Line by line
| Line | Declared | What it actually is | What it delivers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Niacin | 7.5 mg NE | A B vitamin. The label does not say which form | 47% of a Daily Value |
| Calcium, as calcium carbonate | 18 mg | A mineral, and a common tablet excipient | 1.4% of a Daily Value |
| L-Arginine, base | 200 mg | The free amino acid | 200.0 mg of arginine |
| L-Arginine AKG 2:1 | 200 mg | A salt: two arginine to one alpha-ketoglutarate | 140.9 mg of arginine |
| L-Citrulline HCl | 100 mg | A hydrochloride salt | 82.8 mg of citrulline |
| L-Citrulline Malate | 100 mg | A malate salt, ratio not stated | 56.6 to 72.3 mg of citrulline |
| Beta-Alanine | 40 mg | The free amino acid | 40.0 mg |

Add the declared column and you get 665.5 mg. Add the delivered column, counting only the amino acids, and you get 536 mg at best. The difference is acid, and that has its own page.
What a panel normally carries that we do not have
A complete Supplement Facts panel carries more than a list of numbers. Here is what is standard, and what we were given.
| Element | Standard | What we have |
|---|---|---|
| Serving size | Required | 1 capsule — from the brief |
| Servings per container | Required | 30 — from the brief |
| Amount per serving column | Required | Yes, for all seven lines |
| % Daily Value column | Required where a DV exists | Derived by us from the FDA's Daily Value table, not read off a panel |
| † footnote for ingredients with no DV | Standard | Not supplied; we have added it because it is what the format requires |
| Other Ingredients line | Required | Not supplied |
| Capsule material | Appears in Other Ingredients | Not supplied |
| Allergen statement | Where applicable | Not supplied |
| Manufacturer or distributor | Required | Not supplied |
| FDA disclaimer | Required alongside a structure/function claim | Not visible in either supplied image |

Six of those ten are blank. That is a large amount of a label to be missing, and it is the reason the provenance note sits at the top of this page rather than the bottom.
What is not a gap
Notably absent from the gaps list: the ingredient amounts themselves. This label gives every one of them, with no proprietary blend anywhere. Whatever else is missing, the thing this category most often withholds has been published.
The Daily Value column, derived
Two lines on this label have an established Daily Value. We did not receive a percentage column, so we calculated it from the FDA's own reference table for adults and children four and over.
| Line | Per capsule | % Daily Value | The Daily Value | What to notice |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Niacin | 7.5 mg NE | 47% | 16 mg NE | A real nutrient dose. Just under half a Daily Value, and the one line on this label that needs no argument. |
| Calcium as Calcium Carbonate | 18 mg | 1% | 1,300 mg | One point four per cent of a Daily Value. You would need 72 capsules to reach one. |
Scroll this table sideways →
Both check out arithmetically. 7.5 ÷ 16 is 46.9%, which rounds to 47%. 18 ÷ 1,300 is 1.38%, which rounds to 1%.
The niacin figure is a genuine nutritional contribution. The calcium figure is not, and it is worth being precise about why that is not an accusation: 18 mg of calcium is a real 18 mg of calcium, it is simply too small to matter nutritionally against a 1,300 mg Daily Value. Whether it is present for nutrition or as a manufacturing aid is not something we can determine from a list of figures.
One thing the label does not say about the niacin
Niacin comes in two common forms. Nicotinic acid causes flushing from about 30 to 50 mg upward; nicotinamide does not. At 7.5 mg NE neither form would be expected to flush, so the omission does not matter practically. It is listed here because a complete panel would say.
How to check a bottle against this page
If you have a bottle in front of you, this is the most useful thing on the page, and it takes about five minutes.
- Find the back panel. Compare the seven lines and their amounts against the table above. Any difference means either our brief was wrong or you have a different production run, and both are worth telling us about.
- Check the serving size. One capsule, 30 servings. If the panel says two capsules, every figure on this site halves per capsule and the bottle lasts fifteen days.
- Read the Other Ingredients line, which we do not have. Look for the capsule material — gelatin or HPMC — and for an allergen statement.
- Look for the disclaimer and for an asterisk linking it to the front claim.
- Find the lot code on the base or the side, and photograph it with the panel.
- Send us anything that differs. The editorial inbox in the footer reaches the people who wrote this page.
Step one is the important one. This entire website is built on seven numbers supplied in a text document, and a reader holding the actual bottle can verify them in a way we could not.
Why we published a reconstruction at all
There is a reasonable argument that a site which has not seen a panel should not draw one. We considered it and went the other way, for three reasons.
- The figures were supplied by the seller and the seller is accountable for them either way. Setting them in a table rather than a panel would not make them more or less the seller's.
- The panel format is how a buyer reads a supplement, and rendering the figures in an unfamiliar shape would make them harder to check against a real bottle rather than easier.
- Labelling it clearly is a better answer than withholding it. The line under the panel says exactly what it is, on every page it appears on.
If that reasoning is wrong, we would like to hear why. It is the kind of editorial decision that is easier to defend than to get right, and the editorial inbox in the footer is the address.

Who made and checked this VapoCept page
Written from the seller’s panel, the front of the bottle and the sources cited on the page, then reviewed before publication. It is general information for adults and does not replace a conversation with your own clinician.
If your memory or concentration is changing, or you are on medicine for blood pressure or the heart, the first conversation is with your clinician, before the first VapoCept capsule.
