How to read this report
What this is. We compare what a listing claims against what public records show — label arithmetic, barcode registries, NIH’s label catalog, FDA enforcement data, certification registries, and published research. Every statement below traces to one of those.
What the states mean. Confirmed = an outside source agrees. Contradicted = an outside source disagrees. Caution = something needs explaining. No data = we looked and found nothing — a gap, not a strike.
What it is not. A clean record is not an endorsement and never proof a product works. A thin record is not an accusation. We publish evidence and gaps; the conclusion is yours. Nothing here is medical advice.
Something wrong? Every figure is meant to be checkable — sources are named and linked. Send a correction and we’ll fix the record.
Every check we ran
Ingredient amounts are hidden inside a blend
The panel lists “Men's Daily Probiotic Blend” as a combined amount. A blend total can’t tell you whether any single ingredient reaches a dose used in research.
Intake method matches the research
Nothing in this listing contradicts how these ingredients were studied (prebiotic fiber). For example, prebiotic fiber: daily use; effects build over weeks as gut flora shift. Sources: NIH ODS — Fiber overview (MVMS context), PubMed search: inulin prebiotic randomized trial.
NSF/ANSI 173 certification on file (registry-verified)
NSF’s certified-products registry lists “Dr. Formulated Probiotics Organic Kids Daily (5B) 103285” under Garden of Life, LLC. This certification covers identity and quantity of contents plus contaminant limits — not effectiveness. Verified directly against info.nsf.org at build time.
UPC independently corroborated
Open Food Facts resolves 658010118293 to "Dr. Formulated Probiotics Once Daily Men's" (Garden of Life) — consistent with this listing.
Multi-ingredient formula — panel read, serving weight unknown
We read the full Supplement Facts panel from the photos (below), but the label doesn’t state a serving weight, so the arithmetic can’t run. A gap in the label’s information, not evidence of a problem.
Not found in NIH's DSLD label registry
The NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database has no matching label yet. Ingestion lags the market — recorded as a gap, not a strike.
FDA recall appears in this brand's history
Brand-level context only, not a finding about this product. Garden Of Life Llc recalled a different or not-exactly-bound product on 2023-10-19: “Undeclared Soy.” (status: Terminated). The recalled product was: “Garden of Life, RM-10 ULTRA, Ultimate Immune System Support60 Vegetarian Caplets, Whole Food Dietary Supplement, 90 Ultra Zorbe Vegetarian Capsules” — not necessarily the product on this page. Verify at FDA’s recall database.
180-day review-count history is on file
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 934 on 2026-03-08 to 949 on 2026-07-06 (net +15). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
This item belongs to a catalog variation family
The paid catalog links this exact item to a parent listing. Review counts on public product pages may be shared across sizes, flavors, or other variants, so the count history is listing context — not evidence that reviewers received or tested this exact variant.
What the listing promises — claim by claim
Why is this shown?
| Claim | Status | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical-evidence claim “…gut health for men NO REFRIGERATION REQUIRED CLINICALLY STUDIED STRAINS DIGESTIVE + IMMUNE SYSTEM 50 BILLION…” | No evidence located We looked for: a named, citable clinical study of this product or formula | No named, citable study of this product or formula was located in public sources. The claim may rest on ingredient-level research rather than a trial of this product. |
| Benefit claim “…th + Organic Prebiotic Fiber, Colon & Immune Support, Daily Gas Relief, Shelf Stable, 30 Capsules…” | Partly supported We looked for: whether the ingredient doses on the label match the doses used in published research | Published research exists for ingredients in this formula — see Related research below. Whether this product’s doses match those studies could not be confirmed. |
“No evidence located” does not mean a claim is false — it means the seller has not put evidence proportionate to the claim on the public record, and we could not find any. Absence of proof is not proof of absence.
This label vs. the doses studied
Why is this shown?
| Ingredient | Where this label sits | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| Organic Prebiotic Fiber Blend | shaded = doses used in studies (3 g–10 g) · bar = this label | 365 mg — below the studied range |
Matching a studied dose does not mean the product works, and missing it does not mean it fails — it shows whether the label and the research are talking about the same amounts. Not a recommendation to take any amount.
Verifiability profile — 3 of 6 public signals
