Head to head
MaryRuth Organics Kids Probiotics discloses more: 4 out of 6 against 3. That is a statement about Culturelle Daily Chewable Probiotics for Kids's label, not about the product.
| Criterion | Culturelle Daily Chewable Probiotics for Kids | MaryRuth Organics Kids Probiotics | Agreement |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Exact amount for every active ingredient No proprietary blend appears anywhere on the Supplement Facts panel. | 1 ✓ | 1 ✓ | same |
| 2. Standardization percentage stated Wherever potency depends on a percentage, such as % withanolides, the label states it. | 1 ✓ | 1 ✓ | same |
| 3. Chemical form or strain named “Magnesium glycinate,” not “magnesium.” For probiotics, every organism carries a strain designation. | 1 ✓ | 1 ✓ | same |
| 4. Dose within the trial range The disclosed dose falls inside the range human trials used for the outcome the product claims. | 0 ✗ | 0 ✗ | same |
| 5. Certificate of analysis is public A third-party certificate is reachable with no email gate and no account. | 0 ✗ | 0 ✗ | same |
| 6. Per-serving amounts are complete Serving size and servings per container are both on the panel. | 0 ✗ | 1 ✓ | differ |
| Disclosure score | 3/6 | 4/6 |
The pair splits on 1 of the six criteria. The reasoning below is the same text that appears on each product page.
Culturelle Daily Chewable Probiotics for Kids: Serving size 'One (1) Tablet' is stated but servings per container is absent from the Supplement Facts panel. The carton front reads '30 once daily chewable tablets', which is not the panel. Same failure as Culturelle Pro Strength, Seed DS-01, Nature's Bounty and NOW Probiotic-10.
MaryRuth Organics Kids Probiotics: Serving size 1 gummy and servings per container 60 are both printed on the panel.
Both labels were scored the same way on the remaining 5.
Culturelle Daily Chewable Probiotics for Kids: The single active carries an exact amount, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG 26 mg (5 billion CFUs). No proprietary blend anywhere on the panel.
MaryRuth Organics Kids Probiotics: The single active carries an exact amount, Bacillus subtilis (DE111) 8.33 mg (2.5 Billion CFU). No proprietary blend on the panel.
Culturelle Daily Chewable Probiotics for Kids: No standardization-dependent ingredient in the formula.
MaryRuth Organics Kids Probiotics: No standardization-dependent ingredient in the formula.
Culturelle Daily Chewable Probiotics for Kids: LGG is a strain designation, and it is the example the methodology itself uses for criterion 3.
MaryRuth Organics Kids Probiotics: DE111 is a strain designation, not the species alone.
Culturelle Daily Chewable Probiotics for Kids: The failure is on dose rather than on any unit or disclosure technicality. The label delivers 5x10^9 CFU per day. Vanderhoof 1999 (PMID 10547243), the pediatric LGG trial, dosed 1x10^10 to 2x10^10 CFU/day in children aged 6 months to 10 years and found a significant reduction in antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. This product provides one quarter to one half of the trial dose. The clinical-doses.csv row for LGG was carrying a 2026-09-07 flag reading 'NOT YET VERIFIED against PubMed... verify before relying on it'; it was verified and replaced with a real range before this score was assigned.
MaryRuth Organics Kids Probiotics: No positive-outcome human trial for DE111 at a gastrointestinal outcome was identified on 2026-09-27, and no paediatric trial of the strain was identified at any dose, which is the population this product is sold for. The two DE111 trials that measured gut endpoints both reported no effect (Freedman 2021 PMID 33671071; Townsend 2018 PMID 30049931), and under the positive-outcome-trials-only rule a null trial does not set a range. The reference table row records the full search per the negative-findings rule. Note the label itself is not the problem here: it discloses the dose in both mg and CFU and names the strain, so a buyer could check it if the evidence existed to check it against. The failure is in the evidence base, and the objection recorded under v1.11 applies with full force to this row.
Culturelle Daily Chewable Probiotics for Kids: No publicly accessible third-party certificate of analysis located 2026-09-27 (listing images, culturelle.com, site-scoped and open web search), consistent with the same finding for Culturelle Pro Strength on 2026-09-26. Recorded as a negative finding, not a claim that none exists.
MaryRuth Organics Kids Probiotics: No publicly accessible third-party certificate of analysis located 2026-09-27 (listing images, maryruthorganics.com including the quality page, site-scoped and open web search). The listing and site display Clean Label Project Purity Award and B Corp certification marks, which are certifications rather than product certificates of analysis and are excluded on the same basis as GMP marks. Recorded as a negative finding, not a claim that none exists.
