One product, one panel, one record.

Bioma Digestive & Gut Repair Probiotics — label audit

This is the best strain disclosure in its batch — four organisms, four real designators, all four with human RCT literature — and it exists only as pixels inside a marketing JPEG. The panel is not in the page HTML, not in any federal database, and not anywhere a screen reader can reach it.

This page is an audit of a label. It records what this product’s panel discloses, what of that could be checked against a primary record, and what could not. The score below ranks this product on that disclosure and on nothing else.

The record this page rests on

NIH label record: No NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database record is on file for this product in this teardown.
Label read on: 31 July 2026 The most recent dated artefact behind this page. Labels change; this is how old our reading of it is.
Cohort: Addendum — outside the founding denominators Torn down 2026-07-31, after the founding cohort of 27 was frozen. It sits outside every D27 denominator the site publishes.
How deep this went: Full forensic teardown Panel transcribed, every strain designator queried, every certification chased to its issuer’s own register, and the literature behind each marketing claim opened and read.
What did not survive verification: Part of this page was refuted or could not be reproduced One load-bearing number in this teardown is single-sourced and must not be quoted as a headline. The dose-gap finding compares this product's 10 billion CFU against 17 billion CFU specified for HOWARU® Restore by IFF, the ingredient's owner. IFF's own product page returned HTTP 403 to direct fetching, so the 17 billion figure came from IFF's published description surfaced through search rather than from the issuer page itself. The strain composition matches IFF's specification exactly, which corroborates that this is the genuine branded blend, but it does not corroborate the number. Everything else here — the panel transcription, the four designators, the absent CFU basis, the pricing tiers and the trial set — is directly sourced and stands.

The Label Verifiability Score for this product

59.7 out of 100

Rank 72 of the 154 products in this audit the rubric can score. This rank is shared with 7 other products — 8 products sit on 59.7 and are tied. They hold the position jointly; no tiebreaker is applied, because every tiebreaker available here would be a number the rubric deliberately refused to weigh, smuggled back in to make a list look tidier.

The score measures one thing: how much of what you are buying this company tells you, and how much of that survives being checked against a source that is not the company. It does not measure whether the product works — this site holds no efficacy data of its own, and 0 of 294 organism slots in the founding cohort carry a strain with a human randomised trial for any male-specific outcome, so nobody in this category has evidence that would support a ranking by effect.

Computed over 86% of the rubric by weight — the share of the five questions below this record could answer. The remaining question is unanswered, and unanswered is not nought: it leaves the divisor rather than dragging the score down. That share travels with the number and is never dropped — this score over 86% of the weight and the same score over all of it are different claims.

How the 59.7 is arrived at: the five components of the Label Verifiability Score, each with the weight it carries and the fraction this label actually earned.
Component	Weight	What was counted, and where	Fraction	Weight × fraction
Strain identity printed on the panel	0.24	4 of 4 organism slots carry a printed strain designator.	4 / 4 = 1.0000	0.2400
Per-organism amount printed	0.20	0 of 4 organism slots have an amount of its own; the rest are inside a blend total.	0 / 4 = 0.0000	0.0000
What the CFU count is measured against	0.22	Potency basis "none-stated": CFU figure printed yes, single basis stated no, basis reaches expiry no — 1 of 3.	1 / 3 = 0.3333	0.073333
Printed designators that lead to a human trial	0.20	4 of 4 checked organism slots resolve to at least one human randomised trial under the designator exactly as printed. This counts whether the identity leads to a trial, never what the trial found.	4 / 4 = 1.0000	0.2000
Certification confirmed at the issuer’s own register	0.14	Every certification on this record is brand-asserted with the register unreachable, or not yet queried. An unreachable register is a fact about the verification infrastructure, not about this brand, so it may not move its position.	Not answered	— excluded from the divisor, not counted as nought

The five weights sum to 1.00. A component this record could not answer is renormalised away rather than counted as nought — it leaves the divisor, which is why the divisor below is 0.86 rather than 1.00. Fractions are shown to four decimals and the weighted values to six, which is the precision at which adding the last column by hand, dividing, and rounding to one decimal reproduces the published score on every product in this audit. The site's own arithmetic uses the exact fractions and rounds once at the end, so the printed total can differ from the column's own sum in the sixth decimal and never in the score. Recomputed from this product's own record on every build. A stored score that no longer follows from the record it summarises fails the build.

0.513333 — the last column added up — divided by 0.86, the weight this record could answer, is 0.5969. Multiplied by 100 and rounded to one decimal, that is the 59.7 above.

What this label discloses

Everything in this table is what the product itself states — on the printed panel, on the brand’s own page, or in the label record the manufacturer filed. Nothing in it is checked yet; checking is the next section.

What Bioma Digestive & Gut Repair Probiotics discloses, as recorded from its label and label record.
Disclosure	As recorded
CFU as printed	Howaru®Restore (10 Billion CFU) — 29 mg
What that count is measured against	No basis stated
Strain designators	All organisms coded
Organism slots transcribed here	4 — the full panel
Marketed as	Unisex

A CFU number appears with no temporal basis of any kind. A count with no basis is not a quantity; there is no date at which it is claimed to be true.

Every organism on the panel carries a printed strain designator. Whether those designators lead anywhere is a separate question, answered below.

Every organism named on the panel of Bioma Digestive & Gut Repair Probiotics, in panel order, with what its designator resolves to.
Organism as printed	Designator as printed	Quantity as printed	What the designator resolves to	The query we ran
Lactobacillus acidophilus	`NCFM®`	— not stated separately	Human RCT	`"NCFM"[tiab] AND (randomized controlled trial[pt] OR randomized[tiab])`
Lacticaseibacillus paracasei	`Lpc-37®`	— not stated separately	Human RCT	`"Lpc-37"[tiab] AND (randomized[tiab] OR randomised[tiab] OR trial[tiab])`
Bifidobacterium lactis	`Bl-07®`	— not stated separately	Human RCT	`"Bi-07"[tiab] AND (randomized[tiab] OR randomised[tiab] OR trial[tiab])`
Bifidobacterium lactis	`Bl-04®`	— not stated separately	Human RCT	`"Bl-04"[tiab] AND (randomized[tiab] OR randomised[tiab] OR trial[tiab])`

The query column is the exact search string, so that a reader can re-run it and get our result or a different one.

What of that is verifiable

A disclosure is verifiable when a reader can open a record that neither we nor the brand controls and see the same thing. Below is every dated artefact this page rests on. What is absent from this list is not verified, however reasonable it sounds.

How many of its strains have a human trial for what it is sold for

Across the frozen founding cohort, 0 of 294 organism slots (0.0%) carry an organism with a human randomised controlled trial for any male-specific outcome. Not for this product — for all 27 of the founding teardowns, taken together. That is the number to hold against any men’s probiotic, including this one.

Two further founding-cohort figures for context: only 43 of 294 organism slots carry a strain with any human RCT at all under the exact code printed on the label, and only 2 of 27 products have a published human trial of the finished formula — the thing actually in the bottle. All three figures divide by the frozen cohort of 27 teardowns and 294 organism slots, never by every teardown on this site.

For this product specifically, 4 organism slots carry a strain with a human RCT under the exact designator printed on the label.

A word on what a designator has to clear before it counts here. The organism must be named with the exact strain code that appears in the trial, the trial must be in humans, and the code must return that trial when a reader searches it. A species name does not qualify: the trials in this field are of strains, and a species contains thousands of them.

What it costs per day

$3.00 a day at the dose the label itself instructs.

Price: $89.99 USD
What that buys: 60-capsule bottle (30 servings, 2 capsules once daily)
Price checked: 31 July 2026 — the source we read it fromhttps://thebioma.com/products/digestive-gut-repair-probiotics — Address given, not linked: this site does not link out to the products it audits.

For context, the median verified cost across the frozen founding cohort is $1.52 a day — about $553 a year. The two figures come off one median: 24 priced products give an even count, so the median is the mean of the two middle ones, $1.515 a day. The daily figure is that rounded to the cent; the annual figure is $1.515 × 365 = $ 552.975, rounded to the dollar. Annualising the rounded $1.52 instead gives $ 554.80, which is why the rule is printed rather than left for you to guess at.

That median runs over 24 products, not 27: three of the founding teardowns have no verifiable US price at all, and are excluded rather than estimated. It is not a median over every teardown on this site.

What certification it holds, checked at the issuer’s own register

A badge on a bottle is a claim like any other. Every row below was checked — or not checked — at the certifier’s own public register, never at the badge. Across the frozen founding cohort, 2 of 27 products hold a certification we could confirm at the issuer — a founding-cohort figure, not a count over every teardown on this site.
