HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lactobacillus Gasseri 12 Billion CFU by SuperSmart

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

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: Lactobacillus gasseri CNCM I-5076, a live bacterial culture (probiotic) at 12 billion colony-forming units per capsule. The capsule itself contains acacia gum as an inactive ingredient.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Lactobacillus Gasseri product and its label doesn't state a use — see Lactobacillus Gasseri's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence we hold doesn't establish that Lactobacillus gasseri works reliably for hay fever, aspirin-related stomach damage, asthma, bacterial vaginosis, the common cold, or diarrhea — the data shows insufficient reliable evidence for all of these. That doesn't mean it won't help; it means we don't have solid proof yet.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient 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 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Lactobacillus gasseri is generally well tolerated in healthy adults, but safety data is limited and incomplete. Some people should avoid it — especially those with compromised immune systems or those at risk of infection — because live bacterial supplements carry a theoretical concern: in rare cases, these bacteria have been found in serious infections like bacteremia (bacteria in the bloodstream), sepsis, endocarditis (heart infection), and meningitis.

These cases usually involve bacteria that moved from their normal home in the body (like the mouth) to somewhere they shouldn't be. Because safety information is limited, talk with your doctor before using this product.

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?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — 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.

Antibiotic drugs (Moderate severity) — antibiotics can kill the live organisms in this supplement and reduce how well it works. Space your antibiotic and this supplement several hours apart, and ask your pharmacist for the best timing.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This probiotic is a single-strain live culture with limited safety data and no established effectiveness for the conditions listed. If you take antibiotics, you'll need to space them apart from this supplement.

Anyone with a weakened immune system or serious health condition should check with their doctor first.

Antibiotic Drugs

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

Lactobacillus Gasseri 12 Billion CFU by SuperSmart: Common Questions

Does Lactobacillus Gasseri 12 Billion CFU by SuperSmart interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Lactobacillus Gasseri 12 Billion CFU 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?
Lactobacillus Gasseri 12 Billion CFU contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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 probiotic while I'm on antibiotics?
You can, but timing matters. Antibiotics can kill the live bacteria in this supplement, which makes it less effective. Talk to your pharmacist about spacing them several hours apart — don't take them at the same time.
Is this supplement proven to treat diarrhea or improve gut health?
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that it works reliably for diarrhea or the other conditions listed. That's not a verdict against it — just that the data available to us isn't solid enough to say yes or no.
Is it safe if I have a weakened immune system?
No — you should avoid this product. Because it contains live bacteria, there's a theoretical risk they could cause serious infection in people with compromised immunity. Talk to your doctor before using any live probiotic supplement if your immune system is weak.
What does 12 billion CFU mean?
CFU stands for colony-forming units — it's a way to count live bacterial cells. This product delivers 12 billion of them per capsule.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data we have doesn't tell us whether this is safe during pregnancy or lactation. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice — they can help you weigh the benefits and risks based on your own situation.
