Objectives: Dietary supplements (DSs) are widely used worldwide, but their contribution to carbohydrate exposure has received little attention. For individuals following low-carbohydrate diets (LCDs), DSs may be an overlooked carbohydrate source. This study evaluated carbohydrate content in commercially available DSs using a national regulatory database. Methods: We analyzed 4,380 DS products listed in the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety Food and Nutrient Database, Republic of Korea (released Dec 30, 2025). Carbohydrate and sugar contents were extracted from label data and standardized per serving. Supplement formulations were inferred using a rule-based algorithm based on intake-unit information and product name keywords. Estimated daily carbohydrate exposure was calculated using recommended intake frequency. Results: Among 4,380 products, 3,699 (84.5%) contained 0 g carbohydrate per serving, 551 (12.6%) contained >0 to <5 g, 79 (1.8%) contained ≥5 to <10 g, and 51 (1.2%) contained ≥10 g. Carbohydrate content differed by inferred formulation (Kruskal-Wallis P<0.001), and Dunn post-hoc tests showed higher values in powder and jelly formulations than in capsule, tablet, and liquid formulations. Based on estimated daily exposure, 148 products (3.4%) contained ≥5 g/day and 53 (1.2%) contained ≥10 g/day; these were mainly protein and composite nutrient products. Protein and red ginseng products had higher estimated daily carbohydrate exposure than other major categories. Sugar information was available for 576 products (13.2%). Conclusions: Most DSs impose little carbohydrate burden. However, higher exposure was observed in specific formulations and product categories. These findings may help individuals following LCDs make more selective DS choices.
