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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product has 2 active ingredients. BC30 Bacillus coagulans is a probiotic—a live beneficial bacterium meant to support your digestive health.

Lactase is an enzyme that helps break down lactose, the natural sugar in milk and dairy products, so it can ease symptoms if you have trouble digesting dairy. The capsule also contains several inactive ingredients like maltodextrin, cellulose, and silica that help hold the formula together.

Does it work?

Strong 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
Strong

Clinical evidence supports at least one of this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: digestive health and lactose support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Constipation, Diarrhea, Flatulence, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Lactose intolerance, Dyspepsia — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Lactase is rated "Effective" for Lactose intolerance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Bacillus Coagulans is rated "Possibly Effective" for Constipation, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
  • Also on file: Bacillus Coagulans is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Antibiotic-associated diarrhea, Diarrhea, Dyspepsia, Flatulence.

Bacillus coagulans is possibly effective for constipation and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The evidence for other uses—including antibiotic-associated diarrhea, athletic performance, cancer, and fatty liver disease—isn't reliable enough to rate yet.

Lactase is effective for lactose intolerance. We don't have enough data to say whether it helps with colic or in premature infants.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Bacillus Coagulans Lactase

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.

Lactase is generally well tolerated when you use it as directed. Bacillus coagulans is also generally well tolerated in healthy adults, but the safety evidence varies across different probiotic products.

There is a rare concern: in patients with central venous catheters, severe illness, or weakened immune systems—including premature newborns—probiotics have occasionally caused serious bloodstream infections. If you fall into one of those groups, talk to your doctor before taking this.

Allergy to lactase itself is extremely rare but has been reported. For pregnancy and breastfeeding: there isn't enough reliable data on Bacillus coagulans to know if it's safe—talk with your doctor.

Lactase is likely safe in pregnancy and lactation, but discuss regular use with your doctor first.

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.

Daily Probiotics + Lactose Support by Schiff Digestive Advantage: Common Questions

Does Daily Probiotics + Lactose Support by Schiff Digestive Advantage interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Daily Probiotics + Lactose Support 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?
Daily Probiotics + Lactose Support contains 2 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. Antibiotics can kill the live probiotic bacteria in this supplement, which defeats the purpose. Ask your pharmacist to help you space them out—usually a few hours apart works, depending on your antibiotic's timing.
Does this really help with lactose intolerance?
Yes—lactase, one of the two active ingredients, is effective for lactose intolerance. It's an enzyme that breaks down the lactose in dairy so your body can digest it more easily.
Is it safe to take while breastfeeding?
Lactase is likely safe. We don't have enough reliable data on Bacillus coagulans during breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting—they can give you personalized advice.
What if I have a weakened immune system?
Probiotics are generally safe for healthy people, but there's a rare risk of serious infection in people with severe illness, weakened immunity, or medical devices like central venous catheters. Check with your doctor before using this product if that applies to you.
Will this help with IBS?
The probiotic ingredient is possibly effective for IBS, which means the evidence suggests it might help, but it's not proven. Your experience may differ, and it's worth talking to your doctor about whether it makes sense for your symptoms.
