One product, one panel, one record.

Renew Life Ultimate Flora Men's Complete Probiotic 90 Billion (RN1550161) — label audit

The product page runs a strain-to-benefit table crediting twelve branded strain designators. Only one of them — L. rhamnosus GG — is on the Supplement Facts panel. Eleven are not in the bottle, and the panel's own codes collide with three of them by a single character.

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.

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.

¹At Expiration Date under recommended storage conditions. Store in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration not required. Provides postbiotic benefits from inanimate organisms.

The panel’s own words on potency, verbatim.

The panel guarantees the count through the expiration or best-by date. This is the only basis that is falsifiable by a reader holding the bottle.

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

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, 1 organism slot carries 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 #

$1.53 a day at the dose the label itself instructs.

Price

$45.82 USD

What that buys

30-capsule bottle (30 servings, 1 delayed-release capsule per serving)

Price checked

30 July 2026 — the source we read it fromhttps://www.renewlife.com/products/ultimate-flora-mens-complete-probiotic-90-billion-30-delayed-release-vegan-caps-rn1550161 — 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.

How it differs from the same brand’s women’s version #

Across the fourteen same-brand men’s-versus-women’s label diffs run inside the frozen founding cohort, zero men’s or default formulas contain a probiotic strain, identified by designator, that was selected on male-specific evidence. In eight of the fourteen the sex-specific differentiator is a botanical or a mineral, and in five of the fourteen the women’s SKU is better-specified, cheaper, or both — “better-specified” meaning the panel that discloses more, never the panel with more in it. The rule behind each of those counts, and all fourteen pairs classified against it , are published in full. Diffs run on teardowns added since sit outside this fourteen, and outside the sentence above.

Compared against Ultimate Flora Women's Complete Probiotic 90 Billion (RN1550146). Diffed 30 July 2026.

What the two panels differ by

• Present only in the women's product: L. crispatus UF-88, L. jensenii UF-522, L. reuteri UF-pH4, L. rhamnosus UF-V1 — exactly four. Brand panel image RN1550161 versus RN1550146
• Present only in the men's product: B. infantis UF-019, Lactococcus lactis UF-23, L. helveticus UF-142, L. plantarum UF-115, L. rhamnosus UF-11, L. fermentum UF-226, L. casei UF-121, L. bulgaricus UF-563 — exactly eight, of which five are simply second or third strains of a species already in the blend. Brand panel image RN1550161 versus RN1550146
• Men's 31 strains in 170 mg, 49 B / 41 B split; women's 27 strains in 200 mg, 46 B / 44 B. Brand panel image RN1550161 versus RN1550146

What is identical across the pair

• Twenty-three strains are on both panels.
• 90 billion CFU at expiration date in both. Same $45.82. Same 30-count.

Every finding on this page, with the record behind it #

What we could not verify #

Every gap below is published rather than deleted. Most are derived automatically from the empty fields in this page’s own record, so a gap cannot be hidden by leaving a box blank.

Non-GMO Project Verified status

Claimed by the brand. The certifier's product search returned HTTP 403 to automated requests. Note the scope even if current: it certifies GMO status. It says nothing about CFU count, identity or purity.

What any UF- code actually is

Thirty of the 31 designators return zero PubMed records. They are not ATCC, DSM, CNCM or NCIMB accessions and the supplier behind them is unidentified. The defensible claim is that the public cannot verify them — not that they are worthless. A UF- code could be a well-characterised organism under a supplier alias.

Any current government label record for this SKU

DSLD holds only a 2014 off-market "Ultimate Flora Men's Complete" (record 39477). The 31-strain panel published here rests on the brand's own label image, read directly and independently re-read during the audit.

The dose of L. rhamnosus GG

Not disclosed. GG's share of the 41 billion Lactobacillus / Lactococcus / Streptococcus subtotal is unknown. If it is one twenty-first of that pool it is about 2 billion CFU; if it is a token inclusion it could be far less.

Whether the Non-GMO Project verification is current

The certifier's product search returned HTTP 403.

How to check every line of this page yourself #

Nothing on this page requires trusting us. Every claim above resolves to a record you can open:

1. Open the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database record linked at the top of this page. It is the label the manufacturer filed, not our transcription of it.
2. Compare the CFU line and the suggested-use line against the disclosure table above. If they disagree with us, we are wrong and we want to know.
3. Take any strain designator from the panel and run the query printed beside it. The query is published precisely so you can get a different answer than we did.
4. Divide the price by the number of days the label’s own dose instructions make the container last. That arithmetic is the whole of the cost-per-day row.
5. Search the certifier’s own register for this product, not for the brand. A company can participate in a programme without this product being on its list.
