HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Jarro-Dophilus Infant 1 Billion CFU by Jarrow Formulas

Four independent checks of what is known — a summary of the available information, not a grade of the product itself.

Evidence for Intended Use
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
Not assessable

The stated purpose hasn't been mapped to our evidence data yet.

Why this rating?

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Bifidobacterium Longum.

Formula

Bifidobacterium Longum Subsp. Infantis M-63 Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis (B. infantis) is associated with improved growth, the development of intestinal membrane integrity, and is critical for developing immune system. B. infantis is the predominant intestinal organism found in breast-fed infants. B. infantis M-63 was isolated from a healthy infant and clinically proven to colonize the intestines of infants. B. infantis is the only bacterial species to utilize Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs) components made by fermentation (such as 2'-FL and 3'-SL), which allows B. infantis to outcompete other species. Jarro-Dophilus Infant is formulated with medium chain triglycerides (MCT), which are naturally present in breast milk and are more easily absorbed by the newborn’s immature digestive system.

Clinically studied B. infantis M-36 Liquid probiotic

The developing intestinal microflora of a newborn is up to 90% B. infantis.

Antibiotic Drugs

Theoretically, taking Bifidobacterium longum with antibiotic drugs might decrease the effectiveness of B. longum.
Since B. longum preparations usually contain live and active organisms, simultaneously taking antibiotics might kill a significant number of the organisms. Tell patients to separate administration of antibiotics and B. longum preparations by at least 2 hours.
