HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Acid Reflux 911 by PhytAge Labs

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 12, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 7 active ingredients.
  • “Probiotic Bacteria” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

Acid Reflux 911 contains 7 active ingredients, all of them probiotics—friendly bacteria meant to support gut health. The checked ones are Bifidobacterium breve, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bacillus subtilis DE111, and Bifidobacterium longum.

We don't have interaction data for Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus casei, or Lactobacillus plantarum. The product also lists Probiotic Bacteria as a blend, which refers to the individual strains already named.

The inactive ingredients are vegetable cellulose, maltodextrin, and medium chain triglycerides—the capsule material, thickener, and carrier oil.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Digestive health and acid reflux support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Abdominal pain, Antibiotic-associated diarrhea, Clostridioides difficile infection, Colic, Constipation, Diarrhea — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Lactobacillus Acidophilus is rated "Possibly Effective" for Antibiotic-associated diarrhea (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Lactobacillus Acidophilus is rated "Possibly Effective" for Helicobacter pylori.
  • Also on file: Bacillus Subtilis is rated "Possibly Effective" for Antibiotic-associated diarrhea.

The evidence for these probiotics is mixed. Lactobacillus acidophilus is possibly effective for irritable bowel syndrome, Helicobacter pylori infection, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and bacterial vaginosis.

Bacillus subtilis DE111 is possibly effective for antibiotic-associated diarrhea. The other checked ingredients—Bifidobacterium breve, Bifidobacterium longum, and the probiotics we couldn't check—have insufficient reliable evidence in our data for most of the conditions they're studied for.

Since we hold no effectiveness data for Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus casei, or Lactobacillus plantarum, we can't say what they may or may not help with.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lactobacillus Acidophilus Bifidobacterium Breve Bacillus Subtilis Bifidobacterium Longum

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 4 of the 4 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 4 of 4.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 4 of 4.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

The probiotics in this product are generally well tolerated in healthy adults and children. However, all of them carry important cautions.

Because they contain live organisms, there is a rare risk of infection (bacteremia or sepsis) in people who are very ill, immunocompromised, or have recent surgery—especially in infants and young children. Gastrointestinal side effects like bloating, flatulence, abdominal discomfort, and diarrhea have been reported with probiotic use, though these are uncommon.

One case of headache and one case of diarrhea appeared in clinical trials. Safety data are limited overall, so check with your doctor before starting, particularly if you have a weakened immune system or serious illness.

For pregnancy, Lactobacillus acidophilus is rated possibly safe. We don't have pregnancy or breastfeeding safety data on file for the other ingredients, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant or nursing to get personalized advice.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 4 of the 4 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Bifidobacterium Breve, Bifidobacterium Longum, Bacillus Subtilis.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 182 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check your antibiotic medications before taking this product. All four of the probiotics we could check—Bifidobacterium breve, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bacillus subtilis DE111, and Bifidobacterium longum—interact with antibiotics and need to be spaced apart in time.

We couldn't check Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus casei, or Lactobacillus plantarum for interactions, so ask your pharmacist about those. Use the medication checker below to confirm your exact prescriptions.

Antibiotic Drugs

Theoretically, taking Lactobacillus acidophilus with antibiotic drugs might decrease the effectiveness of L. acidophilus.
L. acidophilus preparations usually contain live and active organisms. Therefore, simultaneously taking antibiotics might kill a significant number of the organisms. Tell patients to separate administration of antibiotics and L. acidophilus preparations by at least two hours.

Acid Reflux 911 by PhytAge Labs: Common Questions

Does Acid Reflux 911 by PhytAge Labs interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Acid Reflux 911 has a known interaction with 182 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Acid Reflux 911 contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What are the probiotics in this product supposed to do?
They're friendly bacteria meant to support gut health. Lactobacillus acidophilus has some evidence for irritable bowel syndrome, Helicobacter pylori infection, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and bacterial vaginosis. Bacillus subtilis may help with antibiotic-associated diarrhea. The other strains haven't been established in our data for specific conditions.
Can I take this if I'm on an antibiotic?
Not at the same time. Antibiotics can kill the live bacteria in this supplement and make it less effective. You'll need to space them apart—ask your pharmacist how many hours apart for your specific antibiotic. If one of your bacteria is unchecked (Lactobacillus rhamnosus, casei, or plantarum), mention those too and get advice on timing.
What side effects might I experience?
Most people tolerate probiotics well. Some experience bloating, flatulence, abdominal discomfort, or diarrhea, though these are uncommon. One person reported a headache and another diarrhea in clinical trials. If you're very ill or have a weakened immune system, there's a small risk of bacterial infection, so talk to your doctor first.
Is this safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Lactobacillus acidophilus is rated possibly safe in pregnancy. We don't have safety data on file for the other probiotics in this product, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant or nursing.
Are there fillers in this?
Yes. The inactive ingredients are vegetable cellulose (the capsule), maltodextrin (a thickener), and medium chain triglycerides (a carrier oil).
Should I take this if I have a serious illness or weakened immune system?
No, not without your doctor's clearance. Because these are live bacteria, there's a rare but documented risk of infection in people who are very ill, immunocompromised, or recovering from surgery. Check with your doctor first.
