HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Glutenza by NuMedica

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

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 10 active ingredients.
  • “Probiotic Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.
  • “Proprietary Multi-Enzyme Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (189 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “Proprietary Prebiotic Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (7.50 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Glutenza is a 10-ingredient capsule combining multiple enzyme and probiotic components. The active ingredients include Protease and other enzymes (Endopeptidase and Exopeptidase) designed to support digestion, plus live probiotic organisms: Bacillus subtilis DE111, Saccharomyces boulardii DBVPG 6763, and Lactobacillus acidophilus ATC-SD5212.

The product also contains a proprietary blend of additional enzymes and prebiotics — compounds that feed beneficial bacteria in your gut. Inactive ingredients are sugar beet fiber, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (a capsule binder), water, and medium chain triglyceride.

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: break down gluten proteins for digestion.
  • We looked for evidence on: Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Diarrhea, Antibiotic-associated diarrhea, Travelers' diarrhea, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Saccharomyces Boulardii is rated "Possibly Effective" for Antibiotic-associated diarrhea (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Saccharomyces Boulardii is rated "Possibly Effective" for Rotaviral diarrhea, Travelers' diarrhea.
  • Also on file: Lactobacillus Acidophilus is rated "Possibly Effective" for Antibiotic-associated diarrhea, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Evidence for this product's benefits is mixed. Saccharomyces boulardii shows possible effectiveness for rotaviral diarrhea, travelers' diarrhea, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, necrotizing enterocolitis, Clostridioides difficile infection, and Helicobacter pylori.

Lactobacillus acidophilus is possibly effective for irritable bowel syndrome, Helicobacter pylori, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and bacterial vaginosis, though it was rated possibly ineffective for atopic disease. Bacillus subtilis DE111 is possibly effective for antibiotic-associated diarrhea but has insufficient evidence for athletic performance, cirrhosis, constipation, eczema, and diabetes.

For the protease enzymes and several other components, effectiveness data is not established in our records.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lactobacillus Acidophilus Bacillus Subtilis Saccharomyces Boulardii Proteolytic Enzymes (proteases)

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 4 of the 4 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 4 of 4.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 4 of 4.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Protease is generally well tolerated but may cause digestive upset or allergic reactions in some people; it should be avoided in pregnancy unless prescribed, and there is limited safety data during breastfeeding. Bacillus subtilis DE111 is generally well tolerated in healthy adults, though one headache was reported in a trial and diarrhea has been reported rarely.

Saccharomyces boulardii is generally safe for healthy adults but should be avoided by critically ill or immunocompromised people due to rare cases of fungemia in those groups; gastrointestinal complaints such as cramps, bloating, and nausea have been reported rarely. Lactobacillus acidophilus is generally well tolerated in healthy adults and children.

Because live microorganisms are present, uncommon gastrointestinal side effects like bloating and flatulence may occur when combined with other probiotics. Pregnancy and breastfeeding safety data are not on file for Lactobacillus acidophilus; speak with your doctor before use during either period.

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 4 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Saccharomyces Boulardii, Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Bacillus Subtilis.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 222 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 Glutenza, double-check any antibiotic drugs you're on — Bacillus subtilis and Lactobacillus acidophilus may lose effectiveness if dosed together (Moderate severity). Also check any antifungals, because Saccharomyces boulardii can be inactivated by them (Minor severity).

Time your doses apart if possible, or ask your pharmacist how to space them.

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Glutenza is designed to support digestive health with enzymes and probiotics shown possibly effective for certain types of diarrhea and gut issues. It's a reasonable choice for otherwise healthy adults, but you need to check your medications — especially antibiotics and antifungals — with your pharmacist first, because they can reduce how well the probiotics work.

If you're critically ill, immunocompromised, or pregnant, talk to your doctor before starting it.

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.

Glutenza by NuMedica: Common Questions

Does Glutenza by NuMedica interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Glutenza has a known interaction with 222 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Glutenza contains 8 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 Glutenza while I'm on antibiotics?
You can, but timing matters. The live probiotic bacteria in Glutenza may be killed if you take antibiotics at the same time, which reduces the product's benefit. Ask your pharmacist to help you space the doses — usually a few hours apart is enough to avoid this interaction.
What does protease do in this product?
Protease is a digestive enzyme that breaks down proteins in food. It's included to support protein digestion, though we don't have effectiveness data on file for this specific ingredient.
Is Glutenza safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Safety data during pregnancy and breastfeeding are limited or not on file for most ingredients in this product. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before use if you're pregnant or nursing — they can advise you based on your individual situation.
What are the probiotics in this product supposed to help with?
The three probiotics — Bacillus subtilis, Saccharomyces boulardii, and Lactobacillus acidophilus — are possibly effective for antibiotic-associated diarrhea, travelers' diarrhea, and some infections like Helicobacter pylori. Saccharomyces boulardii may also help with rotaviral diarrhea and Clostridioides difficile infection, and Lactobacillus acidophilus is possibly effective for irritable bowel syndrome and bacterial vaginosis.
Can I take Glutenza with antifungal medications?
You should check with your pharmacist first. Saccharomyces boulardii is a live yeast, so antifungals may kill it and reduce the product's effectiveness. Spacing doses apart may help, but your pharmacist can advise on the best timing for your specific antifungal.
Are there any common side effects from taking Glutenza?
Most people tolerate it well, but digestive upset — bloating, flatulence, abdominal discomfort — can occur when you combine multiple probiotics, though this is uncommon. Protease may cause digestive upset or allergic reactions in some people. Start with a lower dose if you're new to probiotics to minimize discomfort.
