HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Kidophilus Plus Berry Flavored by Advanced Nutrition by Zahler

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 Aug 13, 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 1 of its 7 active ingredients.
  • “Probiotic Blend Complex” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (250 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Kidophilus Plus Berry Flavored contains 7 active ingredients: three species of Lactobacillus bacteria (L. acidophilus, L. plantarum, and L. casei), Bifidobacterium bifidum, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Maltodextrin, and Stevia Leaf Extract. The first five are live probiotic organisms meant to support digestive and immune health.

Stevia is a natural sweetener. The product also includes inactive ingredients like xylitol, magnesium stearate, and microcrystalline cellulose, which serve as binders and fillers.

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: healthy intestinal microflora and digestive balance.
  • We looked for evidence on: Antibiotic-associated diarrhea, Clostridioides difficile infection, Colic, Constipation, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Lactose intolerance — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Lactobacillus Acidophilus is rated "Possibly Effective" for Antibiotic-associated diarrhea (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Lactobacillus Acidophilus is rated "Possibly Effective" for Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
  • Also on file: Bifidobacterium Bifidum is rated "Possibly Effective" for Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

For the probiotic bacteria in this product, the data shows possibly effective ratings for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and antibiotic-associated diarrhea with Lactobacillus acidophilus, and for IBS and respiratory tract infections with Bifidobacterium bifidum. L. acidophilus is also possibly effective for Helicobacter pylori and bacterial vaginosis, though B. bifidum's evidence for allergic rhinitis, Alzheimer disease, and generalized anxiety disorder remains insufficient to rate.

The stevia content has insufficient evidence to establish effectiveness for diabetes, hypertension, or obesity. Overall, the strongest case is for digestive support in IBS and after antibiotic use.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Stevia Lactobacillus Acidophilus Bifidobacterium Bifidum

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.

Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum are generally well tolerated in healthy adults and children, though both carry a caution for people with weakened immune systems. Rare but serious adverse effects associated with L. acidophilus include infection complications (bacteremia, sepsis, liver abscess, endocarditis); these are uncommon and usually occur in vulnerable populations.

Both probiotics may cause mild gastrointestinal side effects like bloating, flatulence, or abdominal discomfort, though these are uncommon. Stevia in the amounts used in supplements is likely acceptable but less well studied than food-grade amounts; minor side effects like headache, dizziness, nausea, and numbness may occur but typically resolve within a week.

L. acidophilus is possibly safe in pregnancy, and both probiotics are possibly safe; insufficient data exists on stevia in pregnancy and lactation.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Stevia Lactobacillus Acidophilus Bifidobacterium Bifidum

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 — Stevia, Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Bifidobacterium Bifidum.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 441 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 this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take antibiotic drugs (the probiotics may be less effective if taken at the same time), lithium (stevia may raise its level), blood pressure medications (stevia may lower blood pressure further), or diabetes medications (stevia may increase low blood sugar risk). Separate antibiotics and the product by at least two hours if possible.

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.

This probiotic blend may help with IBS and antibiotic-associated diarrhea, but if you take antibiotics, blood pressure medications, diabetes medications, or lithium, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it—timing and interactions matter. People with weakened immune systems should check with their healthcare provider first.

Most side effects are mild and temporary, but serious infections from probiotics are rare and typically occur in vulnerable people.

Stevia Leaf Extract3 drug types · 259 drugs

Lithium

Theoretically, stevia might decrease clearance and increase levels of lithium.
Animal research suggests that stevia extracts might have diuretic activity. Theoretically, increased reabsorption of lithium along with sodium might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, stevia might increase the risk for hypoglycemia when combined with antidiabetes drugs.
Preliminary clinical research in patients with type 2 diabetes suggests that taking a single dose of stevia extract 1000 mg reduces postprandial blood glucose levels when taken with a meal. However, other clinical research in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes suggests that taking stevioside 250 mg three times daily does not significantly affect blood glucose levels or glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) after three months of treatment.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, combining stevia or stevia constituents with antihypertensive agents might increase the risk of hypotension.
Stevia extract and stevioside might lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension. However, other clinical research suggests that stevioside does not significantly lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension.

Probiotic Blend Complex1 drug type · 182 drugs

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.

Kidophilus Plus Berry Flavored by Advanced Nutrition by Zahler: Common Questions

Does Kidophilus Plus Berry Flavored by Advanced Nutrition by Zahler interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Kidophilus Plus Berry Flavored has a known interaction with 441 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Kidophilus Plus Berry Flavored contains 2 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—the antibiotic will kill the live probiotic organisms in this product, making it less effective. Talk with your pharmacist about spacing them at least two hours apart, or wait until after you finish your antibiotic course to start this product.
Does this product actually work for IBS?
The Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum in it have a possibly effective rating for IBS in our data. That means some clinical evidence supports it, but it's not proven to work for everyone—results vary, and it may take time.
What are the probiotics in here for?
They're live microorganisms meant to support digestive and immune health. This product's bacteria have the strongest evidence for irritable bowel syndrome, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and respiratory tract infections.
Is this safe if I have a weakened immune system?
The data suggests caution for people with weakened immunity. Serious infections from probiotics are rare but have been reported in vulnerable patients. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product if you have an immune disorder or are immunocompromised.
Can I take this while pregnant?
Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum are rated possibly safe in pregnancy, but we don't have safety data on stevia in pregnancy. Talk with your doctor about whether this product is right for you during pregnancy.
What side effects might I notice?
Most people tolerate it well, but you might experience mild bloating, flatulence, nausea, or abdominal discomfort during the first week—these usually fade. Headache and dizziness are also possible but uncommon. Contact your pharmacist if side effects persist or worsen.
