Head to head
Both score 2 out of 6, but not for the same reasons: they disclose different things, and differ on 2 of the six criteria.
| Criterion | Physician's CHOICE Probiotics 60 Billion CFU | Seed DS-01 Daily Synbiotic | Agreement |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Exact amount for every active ingredient No proprietary blend appears anywhere on the Supplement Facts panel. | 0 ✗ | 0 ✗ | 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. | 0 ✗ | 1 ✓ | differ |
| 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. | 1 ✓ | 0 ✗ | differ |
| Disclosure score | 2/6 | 2/6 |
The pair splits on 2 of the six criteria. The reasoning below is the same text that appears on each product page.
Physician's CHOICE Probiotics 60 Billion CFU: Ten organisms named to species only (Lacticaseibacillus casei, Lactobacillus acidophilus, ... Lactobacillus bulgaricus), no strain designations, per methodology v1.6.
Seed DS-01 Daily Synbiotic: All 24 organisms carry strain designations (B. longum SD-BB536-JP, L. rhamnosus HRVD113-US, etc.); first product in the pilot to take this point under v1.6.
Physician's CHOICE Probiotics 60 Billion CFU: Serving size 1 capsule and 30 servings per container both stated.
Seed DS-01 Daily Synbiotic: Serving size 2 ViaCaps stated but servings per container is absent from the panel.
Both labels were scored the same way on the remaining 4.
Physician's CHOICE Probiotics 60 Billion CFU: Probiotic Blend 220 mg and Prebiotic Blend 150 mg give blend totals only, no per-ingredient amounts.
Seed DS-01 Daily Synbiotic: Four probiotic blends disclose blend totals (224/36/36/13 mg) but no per-strain amounts.
Physician's CHOICE Probiotics 60 Billion CFU: No standardization-dependent ingredient in the formula.
Seed DS-01 Daily Synbiotic: MAPP pomegranate extract stated as >40% polyphenolic + phenolic bioactives — an earned point, not the default.
Physician's CHOICE Probiotics 60 Billion CFU: Prebiotic Blend totals 150 mg including inulin from Jerusalem artichoke and chicory, an order of magnitude below the 12 g/d inulin reference range even if the blend were entirely inulin; probiotics excluded per methodology.
Seed DS-01 Daily Synbiotic: Under methodology v1.7. Previously 1, on the DS-01 finished-product trials. Those no longer set the range: they dose a whole multi-ingredient synbiotic, so the GI benefit cannot be attributed to the pomegranate component, and their authors include manufacturer employees while an independent ingredient-level range exists. Scored instead against that independent range — 320-656 mg phenolics — which the label's 400 mg at >40% meets only to a floor of about 160 mg, at or below the dose an independent dose-response trial found null (PMID 27879044). Probiotics excluded per methodology.
Physician's CHOICE Probiotics 60 Billion CFU: No publicly accessible third-party certificate of analysis located 2026-09-07 (product page, brand site, site-scoped search, retail listing images); recorded as a negative finding, not a claim that none exists.
Seed DS-01 Daily Synbiotic: No publicly accessible third-party certificate of analysis located 2026-09-07 (product page, brand site, site-scoped search, retail listing images); recorded as a negative finding, not a claim that none exists.
