HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Dynamic Defense by Stonehenge Health

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 8 active ingredients.
  • “Probiotic Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (27 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “PreforPro” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (15 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Dynamic Defense has 8 ingredients, of which 3 are active probiotics and 5 are other components. The three active bacteria are Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bacillus coagulans, and Bacillus subtilis DE-111 — all live-culture organisms meant to support your gut health.

The product also contains a blend called PreforPro, which includes bacteriophages (viruses that target bacteria): LH01-Myoviridae, LL5-Siphoviridae, T4D-Myoviridae, and LL12-Myoviridae. The remaining ingredients are inactive — hypromellose, pectin, water, maltodextrin, and medium chain triglyceride — which serve as fillers, binders, and capsule material.

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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports its ingredients for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Antibiotic-associated diarrhea — rated "Possibly Effective" (Lactobacillus Acidophilus) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Bacterial vaginosis — rated "Possibly Effective" (Lactobacillus Acidophilus) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Helicobacter pylori — rated "Possibly Effective" (Lactobacillus Acidophilus) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) — rated "Possibly Effective" (Lactobacillus Acidophilus) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Constipation — rated "Possibly Effective" (Bacillus Coagulans) (Natural Medicines).

Evidence for Dynamic Defense's individual probiotic ingredients is mixed. Lactobacillus acidophilus is possibly effective for irritable bowel syndrome, Helicobacter pylori infection, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and bacterial vaginosis.

Bacillus coagulans is possibly effective for constipation and irritable bowel syndrome, though the evidence for antibiotic-associated diarrhea is insufficient. Bacillus subtilis DE-111 is possibly effective for antibiotic-associated diarrhea, but evidence is insufficient for athletic performance, cirrhosis, constipation, atopic dermatitis, and diabetes.

We don't have effectiveness ratings for the bacteriophages in PreforPro or for Bifidobacterium animalis lactis in our held data.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lactobacillus Acidophilus Bacillus Coagulans Bacillus Subtilis

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 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

The three checked probiotic bacteria are generally well tolerated in healthy adults, though safety data vary by strain and product quality. The most common side effects from these probiotics are mild gastrointestinal discomfort — things like bloating, gas, abdominal pain, and diarrhea — but these are uncommon.

Rarely, headache or diarrhea alone has been reported. There is a theoretical concern that live probiotic organisms could cause serious infection (bacteremia or sepsis) in people who are severely ill, immunocompromised, or have central venous catheters; healthy people with intact immune systems face minimal risk.

For Lactobacillus acidophilus in pregnancy, the data suggest it's possibly safe, but lactation data are not on file. For Bacillus coagulans and Bacillus subtilis DE-111, pregnancy and lactation data are not on file — talk with your doctor or pharmacist about use during those times.

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?
  • 3 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Bacillus Coagulans, Bacillus Subtilis.
  • 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 taking Dynamic Defense, double-check it with any antibiotic drugs you're on — that's the only medication type with documented interactions (Moderate severity). The probiotic bacteria in this product can be killed off if taken at the same time as antibiotics, so timing matters.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Dynamic Defense is aimed at people looking to support their gut health with live probiotics, especially those dealing with diarrhea, constipation, or irritable bowel symptoms. If you take antibiotics, separate your doses by several hours so the medication doesn't kill the probiotics before they do their job.

Check your exact medications with the tool on this page, and ask your pharmacist or doctor before starting if you're pregnant, nursing, severely ill, or immunocompromised.

Antibiotic Drugs

Theoretically, taking Lactobacillus acidophilus with antibiotic drugs might decrease the effectiveness of L. acidophilus.
L. acidophilus 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 L. acidophilus preparations by at least two hours.

Dynamic Defense by Stonehenge Health: Common Questions

Does Dynamic Defense by Stonehenge Health interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Dynamic Defense 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?
Dynamic Defense 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 with my antibiotic?
Not at the same time. Antibiotics kill the live bacteria in this supplement, so it won't work as intended. Ask your pharmacist about spacing them a few hours apart — they can suggest the best schedule for your specific medication.
What are the side effects?
Most people tolerate Dynamic Defense well. Some people experience mild gas, bloating, abdominal pain, or diarrhea, but these are uncommon. Headache or diarrhea alone has rarely been reported in trials.
Is it safe if I'm pregnant?
Lactobacillus acidophilus is rated possibly safe in pregnancy, but we don't have pregnancy data on file for the other probiotic ingredients in this product. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist to make sure it's right for you.
What's the difference between the bacteria in this product?
Lactobacillus acidophilus is possibly effective for irritable bowel syndrome, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and certain infections. Bacillus coagulans is possibly effective for constipation and irritable bowel syndrome. Bacillus subtilis DE-111 is possibly effective for antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Together they're meant to work on different aspects of gut health.
What is PreforPro?
PreforPro is a blend of bacteriophages — essentially viruses that target bacteria — designed to work alongside the live probiotics in the formula. We don't have effectiveness data on file for this component.
Are there fillers in this?
Yes. The product contains hypromellose, pectin, water, maltodextrin, and medium chain triglyceride as inactive ingredients — these help hold the capsule together and deliver the active probiotics.
