HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Kyo-Dophilus by Kyo-Dophilus

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 3 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend (Non-Nutrient/Non-Botanical)” is a proprietary blend — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

Kyo-Dophilus has 3 active ingredients: three species of beneficial bacteria. Bifidobacterium bifidum and Bifidobacterium longum are two types of bifidobacteria that live in your gut.

Lactobacillus gasseri is a lactobacillus species — another common probiotic strain. These are live microorganisms meant to support your digestive and immune health.

The capsule also contains inactive ingredients: gelatin, potato starch, and silica act as fillers and binders to hold the capsule together.

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: boost immunity and promote healthy intestinal function.
  • We looked for evidence on: Antibiotic-associated diarrhea, Diarrhea, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Constipation, Common cold, Respiratory tract infections — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Bifidobacterium Bifidum is rated "Possibly Effective" for Respiratory tract infections (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Bifidobacterium Bifidum is rated "Possibly Effective" for Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
  • Also on file: Bifidobacterium Bifidum is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Antibiotic-associated diarrhea, Common cold, Constipation, Radiation-induced diarrhea, and more.

The evidence on what these strains actually do is mixed. Bifidobacterium bifidum is possibly effective for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and respiratory tract infections, but the data on respiratory infections isn't strong.

For the other conditions listed — hay fever, Alzheimer disease, and generalized anxiety — we don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether it works. Bifidobacterium longum and Lactobacillus gasseri have insufficient reliable evidence for the conditions in our data — that includes age-related cognitive decline, hay fever, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, anxiety, asthma, athletic performance, gastric damage, bacterial vaginosis, the common cold, and diarrhea.

If you're thinking about this product for a specific condition, ask your pharmacist whether the evidence supports it for your situation.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Bifidobacterium Bifidum Bifidobacterium Longum Lactobacillus Gasseri

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.

All three bacteria are generally well tolerated in healthy people, though the safety data are limited overall. Those with weakened immune systems should be cautious, and anyone who is seriously ill or immune-compromised should check with their doctor first.

The most commonly reported side effects are bloating and flatulence — though these haven't been specifically documented with Bifidobacterium bifidum alone. Rare cases of abdominal discomfort, constipation, and other digestive upset have been reported with Bifidobacterium longum, and one case of a dry cough.

Very rarely, these bacteria have caused serious bloodstream infections (bacteremia or sepsis) in critically ill patients, especially premature infants with IV lines or recent surgery, but these cases are uncommon and not all have involved the exact strains in this product. For Bifidobacterium longum, pregnancy and lactation are rated possibly safe.

We don't have pregnancy or lactation data on file for Bifidobacterium bifidum or Lactobacillus gasseri, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

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 — Bifidobacterium Bifidum, Bifidobacterium Longum, Lactobacillus Gasseri.
  • 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.

If you're taking any antibiotic drugs, separate the timing from this probiotic. Antibiotics can reduce how well the live bacteria in Kyo-Dophilus work by killing them off.

Ask your pharmacist how many hours apart to take them — usually finishing the antibiotic first, then waiting a day or two before starting the probiotic, makes the most sense.

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.

This is a standard three-strain probiotic. If you have IBS or recurrent respiratory infections, the data support giving Bifidobacterium bifidum a try.

The main thing to watch for is antibiotic use — separate the timing so the antibiotic doesn't kill the beneficial bacteria. If you're seriously ill, immune-compromised, or pregnant, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Kyo-Dophilus by Kyo-Dophilus: Common Questions

Does Kyo-Dophilus by Kyo-Dophilus interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Kyo-Dophilus 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?
Kyo-Dophilus contains 3 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 Kyo-Dophilus while I'm on antibiotics?
Not at the same time. Antibiotics kill the live bacteria in this probiotic, so it won't work as intended. Separate them — your pharmacist can suggest the best timing, often finishing your antibiotic course and then starting the probiotic a day or two later.
Is this safe if I have a weakened immune system?
You should be cautious, especially if you're seriously ill. Very rarely, these probiotic strains have caused bloodstream infections in critically ill patients. Talk with your doctor before starting this product if your immune system is compromised.
What side effects should I watch for?
Bloating and gas are the most common reported with probiotics generally, though they haven't been specifically tied to Bifidobacterium bifidum alone. Rare cases of abdominal discomfort, constipation, or other digestive upset have occurred. A single patient reported a dry cough. Most people tolerate it well.
Does Bifidobacterium bifidum actually work for IBS?
The evidence suggests it's possibly effective for irritable bowel syndrome, so it's worth trying if that's your concern. For respiratory tract infections, the data also suggest it's possibly effective, though the evidence isn't as strong.
Is it safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Bifidobacterium longum is rated possibly safe during pregnancy and lactation. We don't have safety data on file for Bifidobacterium bifidum or Lactobacillus gasseri during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.
Why does this interact with so many medications?
It doesn't interact with many medications — it interacts with antibiotics only. That count of 182 reflects all the different antibiotic drugs available on the market, not separate interactions. The effect is the same across all of them: they can kill the live bacteria in the probiotic.
