Prices are estimates from public sources, checked Jul 2026, and change often, verify on the merchant’s site. A “lower-cost ingredient match” shares overlapping ingredients and a similar intended use; it is not a medically equivalent product or a guaranteed result.

1MD Complete Probiotics Platinum costs about $41 a month. Strip away the branding and the gut and probiotic supplement it competes with comes down to commodity ingredients. Matched with physician’s choice 60 billion probiotic and probiotics (strain-specific), the same overlapping ingredients cost roughly $26 a month, an estimated $180 a year less.

How close is the match?

BlendBusters analysis

Our match, physician’s choice 60 billion probiotic and probiotics (strain-specific), covers the overlapping ingredients behind 1MD Complete Probiotics Platinum at a comparable daily amount where the dose is disclosed. Here is what lines up, and what does not.

What matches

  • A similar intended use, both are once-daily multi-strain probiotic capsules for digestive/gut support.
  • Overlapping approach, both pair a multi-strain blend with a prebiotic fiber and include common Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species.
  • Physician’s Choice 60 Billion is a named, lower-cost ingredient match at a comparable-or-higher disclosed total CFU (60B vs 51B).

What differs

  • Probiotic effects are strain-specific, the two use different strain rosters, and a higher total CFU does not equal an equivalent effect, so they’re not interchangeable.
  • Both disclose only a blend total (no per-strain CFU), an important limitation for matching a specific strain.
  • 1MD is DTC with subscription markup and bundles a dietitian-consult perk; the match is mass retail.
