HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Digestive Advantage Probiotic Fiber + Daily Probiotic by Schiff
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.
What’s inside
Partial disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: BC30 Bacillus coagulans GBI-30, 6086, a live probiotic bacterium meant to support digestive health. The tablet also contains several inactive ingredients—fructooligosaccharides, microcrystalline cellulose, maltodextrin, silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, and stearic acid—which help form and stabilize the tablet.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
The evidence for BC30 Bacillus coagulans is mixed. It's rated possibly effective for constipation and for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)—meaning some evidence exists, but it's not conclusive.
For other uses listed on the label—antibiotic-associated diarrhea, athletic performance, cancer prevention, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease—the evidence we hold is insufficient to rate whether it works. Talk with your doctor about whether this product is right for what you're hoping to address.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
BC30 Bacillus coagulans is generally well tolerated in healthy adults, but safety data and product quality vary across manufacturers. There's a theoretical concern that live probiotic organisms could cause serious infection—including bacteremia and sepsis—in patients with catheters, severe illness, or weakened immune systems, including very premature infants.
If you fall into any of those groups, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product. For most other people, it appears safe, though complete safety information is limited.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
If you take antibiotics, you'll need to separate your dosing times—taking them together can reduce how well this probiotic works. Check all your current medications with the tool below before you start, since the probiotic interacts with a large number of antibiotic drugs.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glancePartially disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Digestive Advantage Probiotic Fiber + Daily Probiotic may help with constipation or IBS, based on limited evidence. If you take antibiotics, space out the timing to avoid reducing the probiotic's effectiveness.
If you're severely ill, immunocompromised, have a central line or catheter, or are a premature infant, check with your doctor or pharmacist first. Anyone else should confirm their medications don't interact using the tool on this page.

General Statements
Since 1936
Probiotic Survives Stomach Acid 100x Better
Probiotics are good bacteria that promote digestive health and help reduce minor abdominal discomfort and occasional bloating. With continued use, Digestive Advantage Prebiotic Fiber + Daily Probiotic is ideal for long-term digestive support.
Why use Digestive Advantage? Many probiotics don't survive through the stomach's acid. Digestive Advantage does! It survives stomach acid 100x better; one serving a day delivers more live good bacteria to your digestive system than leading probiotics and yogurts to naturally support your digestive health.
Survives 100x Better vs. Leading Probiotics
A natural protein shell protects our probiotic allowing it to survive stomach acid so more live good bacteria can get to your digestive tract and reach the intestines, where you need them most. Probiotics in your intestines promote a healthy digestive and immune system.
Based on survivability testing vs. yogurts and leading probiotics including a high potency probiotic brand offering 50 billion live cultures.
Studies reveal that the single strain of probiotic used Digestive Advantage survives 100x better than leading probiotics and yogurts so it can deliver good bacteria where you need it.
Guaranteed for purity, freshness and labeled potency.

Read the full Dietary Fiber + Cefixime interactionEach ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects
For each ingredient in Digestive Advantage Probiotic Fiber + Daily Probiotic with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Dietary Fiber
Carbamazepine (Tegretol)
Theoretically, black psyllium might reduce the effects of carbamazepine and increase the risk for convulsions.
Theoretically, black psyllium might reduce carbamazepine absorption. A preliminary study using blond psyllium reported decreased carbamazepine bioavailability due to binding of the drug to psyllium, as well as reduction of available fluid in the gut for dissolution of the drug. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium.
Lithium
Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as lithium might reduce lithium absorption.
The fiber in black psyllium might reduce lithium absorption and plasma levels. Some case reports describe a reduction in plasma lithium levels with concomitant administration of blond psyllium. This was reversed when psyllium was stopped. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium.
Metformin (Glucophage)
Theoretically, black psyllium might increase the therapeutic and adverse effects of metformin.
Animal research shows that concurrent consumption of blond psyllium with metformin slows and increases the absorption of metformin. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium. To avoid changes in absorption, take psyllium 30-60 minutes after metformin.
Olanzapine (Zyprexa)
Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as olanzapine might reduce olanzapine absorption.
The fiber in black psyllium might decrease the absorption of olanzapine. A single case report describes a reduction in the effectiveness of olanzapine when it was concomitantly administered with an unspecified type of psyllium 3 grams orally twice daily. This effect was reversed when psyllium was stopped.
Digoxin (Lanoxin)
Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as digoxin might reduce digoxin absorption and decrease digoxin levels.
Psyllium might bind digoxin in the gut. However, some clinical evidence suggests that psyllium does not impact digoxin absorption.
Ethinyl Estradiol
Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as ethinyl estradiol might alter levels of estradiol.
Concurrent use of blond psyllium with ethinyl estradiol results in a slight increase in the extent of ethinyl estradiol absorption and a slower rate of absorption. This is unlikely to be clinically significant.
Oral Drugs
Theoretically, psyllium might increase, decrease, or have no effect on the absorption of oral drugs.
Psyllium seems to have variable effects on drug absorption. To avoid changes in absorption, take psyllium 30-60 minutes after oral medications. Animal research shows that blond psyllium delays and increases the absorption of metformin and ethinyl estradiol. Case reports and animal research suggest that blond psyllium might reduce absorption of lithium, digoxin, olanzapine, and carbamazepine. Finally, some pharmacokinetic studies show that psyllium does not affect the absorption of levothyroxine or warfarin. Although many of these studies evaluated blond psyllium, the fiber content in black psyllium may have similar effects.
BC30 Bacillus coagulans GBI-30, 6086
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.
