HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Biome Medic by Purium

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

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 4 of its 4 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Biome Medic has four active ingredients: Lactospore (a Bacillus coagulans probiotic), PrebioSure digestive Wheat Germ extract, HumicSure Fulvic & Humic Acid blend, and Chicory Root Extract. These work together to support digestive health.

The product also contains cellulose as an inactive ingredient to hold the capsule 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: Supports a healthy gut microbiome.
  • We looked for evidence on: Constipation, Diarrhea, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Antibiotic-associated diarrhea — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Bacillus Coagulans is rated "Possibly Effective" for Constipation (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Bacillus Coagulans is rated "Possibly Effective" for Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
  • Also on file: Chicory is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Constipation, Dyspepsia.

The evidence is mixed. Lactospore is possibly effective for constipation and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), though there isn't enough reliable data yet to rate it for antibiotic-associated diarrhea, athletic performance, cancer, or fatty liver disease.

Chicory has insufficient reliable evidence for the conditions listed in our data—neonatal jaundice, fatty liver disease, osteoarthritis, indigestion, and high cholesterol. For PrebioSure and HumicSure, effectiveness ratings aren't established in the data we hold.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Bacillus Coagulans Chicory

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.

Lactospore is generally well tolerated in healthy adults, but the evidence and product quality vary, so talk to your doctor before using. There's a rare concern: live probiotic organisms *could* cause serious infection in people who are severely immunocompromised, have central lines, or are very premature infants—but this is uncommon in healthy people with working immune systems.

Chicory is generally well tolerated in food amounts but can cause gas, bloating, belching, and abdominal pain in some people, and may trigger allergies in those sensitive to the daisy and ragweed family. During pregnancy, chicory in medicinal amounts may stimulate the uterus, so it's best avoided; while breastfeeding, there isn't enough safety data, so talk with your doctor first.

No pregnancy or breastfeeding data is on file for Lactospore.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Bacillus Coagulans Chicory

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 — Chicory, Bacillus Coagulans.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 268 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 list if you take antibiotics—space them several hours apart from this product so they don't kill off the live probiotic. Also double-check if you're on any medications to lower blood sugar, since chicory may add to that effect.

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product may help with constipation and IBS, but the evidence is preliminary. If you take antibiotics or diabetes medications, check with us first—timing matters.

It's generally well tolerated, but if you're severely immunocompromised or have a central line, mention this product to your doctor before starting.

Lactospore1 drug type · 182 drugs

Antibiotic Drugs

Theoretically, taking antibiotics with Bacillus coagulans might decrease the effectiveness of B. coagulans.
B. coagulans 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 B. coagulans preparations by at least two hours.

Biome Medic by Purium: Common Questions

Does Biome Medic by Purium interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Biome Medic has a known interaction with 268 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Biome Medic contains 4 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 with my antibiotic?
Not at the same time. The antibiotic will kill the live organisms in Lactospore, making it less effective. Talk to your pharmacist about spacing—usually a few hours apart does the trick.
Is this safe if I'm pregnant?
Chicory Root Extract in medicinal amounts may stimulate the uterus, so it's best avoided during pregnancy. There's no pregnancy data on file for the other ingredients. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Will this help my IBS?
Lactospore is possibly effective for IBS based on the evidence we have, though the research is still early. Results vary by person, so give it a fair trial and see how you feel.
What side effects should I watch for?
Most common are gas, bloating, belching, and stomach pain from the chicory and probiotic. Allergic reactions are rare but possible if you're sensitive to plants in the daisy family (ragweed, chrysanthemums, daisies). Stop and call us if you have trouble breathing or a rash.
Can I take this if I'm on diabetes medication?
Chicory may lower blood sugar, so combined with your medication it could drop too far. Check with your pharmacist before starting—you may need your blood sugar monitored more closely.
