HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Acidophilus and Bifidus 60 Billion CFUs by Custom Probiotics

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 11, 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 5 active ingredients.
  • “Total Probiotic Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

This product contains 5 active probiotic ingredients: L. acidophilus, B. bifidum, L. plantarum, B. animalis lactis, and L. rhamnosus, delivering 60 billion colony-forming units (CFUs) total. Probiotics are live beneficial bacteria meant to support your gut flora.

The inactive ingredients—microcrystalline cellulose, gelatin, magnesium stearate, and silica—are the capsule and fillers that hold the probiotics together.

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 with probiotics.
  • We looked for evidence on: Antibiotic-associated diarrhea, Bacterial vaginosis, Clostridioides difficile infection, Colic, Constipation, Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) — 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 Bacterial vaginosis, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
  • Also on file: Bifidobacterium Bifidum is rated "Possibly Effective" for Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

The data shows L. acidophilus is possibly effective for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Helicobacter pylori infection, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and bacterial vaginosis. B. bifidum is possibly effective for IBS and respiratory tract infections.

For other conditions listed in the research—such as hay fever, Alzheimer disease, and generalized anxiety disorder—the evidence isn't established enough to rate, or the data suggests L. acidophilus may be ineffective (atopic disease). Whether this two-strain product works for your specific situation depends on what you're hoping it'll do; talk with your pharmacist or doctor about whether it fits your needs.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lactobacillus Acidophilus Bifidobacterium Bifidum

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Both L. acidophilus and B. bifidum are generally well tolerated in healthy adults and children. The most common side effects are mild gastrointestinal symptoms—bloating, gas, abdominal discomfort, or loose stools—and these are uncommon.

However, the safety data is limited, so check with your doctor before starting, especially if you have a weakened immune system. There have been rare cases of serious infections (such as bacteremia or sepsis) linked to live probiotics in critically ill or severely immunocompromised patients; the risk is low in healthy people.

No pregnancy or breastfeeding safety data are on file for these specific ingredients, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant or nursing and want to use this product.

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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Bifidobacterium Bifidum.
  • 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.

Before you take this product, check whether you're on any antibiotic drugs. Antibiotics can reduce how well this probiotic works if you take them together, so you'll want to separate the timing.

We couldn't check three other ingredients in the blend (L. plantarum, B. animalis lactis, and L. rhamnosus) against your medications, so mention those names to your pharmacist too.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This probiotic blend may help with IBS, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, or other specific conditions if the evidence supports its use for what you need. Don't take it at the same time as antibiotics—space them apart so the antibiotics don't kill the live cultures.

If you have a very weakened immune system or are critically ill, talk with your doctor first. Run your medications through the interaction checker below before you start.

Acidophilus and Bifidus 60 Billion CFUs by Custom Probiotics: Common Questions

Does Acidophilus and Bifidus 60 Billion CFUs by Custom Probiotics interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Acidophilus and Bifidus 60 Billion CFUs 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?
Acidophilus and Bifidus 60 Billion CFUs contains 5 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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.
Can I take this probiotic with my antibiotic?
Not at the same time. Antibiotics can kill the live bacteria in this product, making it less effective. Ask your pharmacist how far apart to space them—often a couple of hours helps.
What is each strain of bacteria in here supposed to do?
L. acidophilus and B. bifidum are the two we have the most data on; both are possibly effective for IBS and may help with antibiotic-related diarrhea or certain infections. The other three strains (L. plantarum, B. animalis lactis, and L. rhamnosus) are included in the blend, but we don't have enough information on them to say what they specifically target.
Will this give me side effects?
Most people tolerate it well. A small number may have mild bloating, gas, or loose stools at first, but these are uncommon. If you have a very weakened immune system, talk to your doctor before starting.
Is this safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
We don't have enough safety data on file for these specific strains in pregnancy or while nursing. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you in that situation.
Can this product cause a serious infection?
It's rare, and the risk is very low if you're generally healthy. However, people who are critically ill or have severely weakened immune systems have occasionally developed serious infections from live probiotics. If that's your situation, check with your doctor first.
Do I need to keep this in the refrigerator?
The product facts don't say—ask your pharmacist or check the label for storage instructions.
