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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Partial disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Partial

Most active ingredients list an amount, but at least one is hidden in a blend or missing.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 2 active ingredients.

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
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: promote digestive health and reduce abdominal discomfort.
  • We looked for evidence on: Constipation, Diarrhea, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), bloating — and 1 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Black Psyllium is rated "Effective" for Constipation (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Bacillus Coagulans is rated "Possibly Effective" for Constipation, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
  • Also on file: Black Psyllium is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Diarrhea.

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.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Black Psyllium Bacillus Coagulans

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.

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
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 — Black Psyllium, Bacillus Coagulans.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: heart-rhythm medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 2,084 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.

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.

Each 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 Fiber7 drug types · 2,025 drugs

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.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B
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.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B

BC30 Bacillus coagulans GBI-30, 60861 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.

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.
Will this probiotic work if I'm on an antibiotic?
Antibiotics can kill the live organisms in this probiotic and reduce its effectiveness. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about spacing out the timing—they may recommend taking them at different times of day so both can work properly.
Does this product really help with IBS or constipation?
BC30 Bacillus coagulans is rated possibly effective for both constipation and IBS, meaning some evidence supports it, but the research isn't conclusive yet. Results vary by person, so you may want to discuss realistic expectations with your doctor.
Is it safe if I have a weakened immune system?
There's a theoretical concern that live probiotic organisms could cause serious infection in people who are severely ill, immunocompromised, or have catheters. If that applies to you, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product.
