Pilot scorecard
Garden of Life scored 1 out of 6 for label disclosure under methodology v1.13, read from the label as captured on 2026-09-27.
30ct variant, Amazon listing B00Y8MP5VA.
Two proprietary blends. Men's Daily Probiotic Blend 218 mg lists 15 organisms with no per-organism amounts, and Organic Prebiotic Fiber Blend 365 mg lists Organic Potato [Resistant Starch] and Organic Acacia Fiber with no per-fiber amounts. Only blend totals and aggregate CFU counts are disclosed (Total Lacto 35 Billion, Total Bifido 15 Billion, Total Probiotic Cultures 50 Billion).
Resistant starch is sold at graded RS content and its trials dose in grams of resistant starch, so a percentage is potency-determining under the functional test. Neither the percentage nor the potato starch weight is disclosed, since it sits inside a blend total. This extends the BIOMA judgment one step further, where 100 mg of corn cob extract was at least stated; flagged for review on the same basis.
All 15 organisms are named to genus and species only (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium lactis and so on) with no strain designations. The listing markets '15 Clinically Studied Strains' while the panel identifies none of them.
The probiotics are CFU-declared with no strain designations, so no organism can be matched to a trial even before the unit question arises, and the aggregate count cannot be attributed to any single organism. The prebiotic fibers are disclosed only as a 365 mg blend total, so neither resistant starch nor acacia fiber can be compared to a reference range under the attribution rule. Note on v1.13, amended 2026-09-27: the superscript 1 after '50 Billion CFU' is not defined in the panel image captured for this row. On the sister product rank 30 (Garden of Life Dr. Formulated Kids+, B074JLL5KS) the identical footnote marker is defined as 'At Expiration Date under recommended storage conditions', so this label most likely carries the same definition in label text the capture does not show, and should be read as a through-expiry guarantee rather than an undefined marker. The score is 0 either way, on attribution and on the absence of strain designations, but the earlier wording overstated the disclosure failure and is corrected here.
No publicly accessible third-party certificate of analysis located 2026-09-27 (listing images, site-scoped search). Garden of Life publishes certificates for its separate CBD line only; no equivalent was found for the supplement line. Recorded as a negative finding, not a claim that none exists.
Serving size 1 capsule and servings per container 30 are both printed on the panel.
