HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Performance Probiotic Natural Acai Flavor by AIVIA
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
This powder contains 5 active ingredients: Serratiopeptidase, ProHydrolase, a proprietary probiotic blend, Bifidobacterium animalis lactis, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, and Bacillus subtilis DE-111. Bacillus subtilis is a beneficial bacteria strain; the Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus species are common probiotic organisms meant to support your gut.
Serratiopeptidase is an enzyme, and ProHydrolase is a proprietary enzyme formula. The product also contains several inactive ingredients — fructooligosaccharides, sunflower oil creamer, acai flavoring, inulin, citric acid, silicon dioxide, and stevia — that serve as sweeteners, binders, or texture modifiers.
Does it work?
Not established
Bacillus subtilis is possibly effective for antibiotic-associated diarrhea — loose stools that happen after you've taken antibiotics. For everything else the data cover — athletic performance, cirrhosis, general constipation, eczema, and diabetes — the evidence isn't strong enough to establish how well it works.
We hold no effectiveness data for the other active ingredients in this formula.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Bacillus subtilis is generally well tolerated in healthy adults, though quality and safety vary by product and strain. The safety data isn't complete, so your doctor should weigh in before you start it, especially if you have any health conditions.
A small number of trial participants reported headache; diarrhea has been reported rarely. There are rare cases of Bacillus subtilis infection (bacteremia and meningitis) from frequent consumption of natto — a fermented soybean product containing a related strain — in people who were already immunocompromised due to age, diabetes, kidney failure, or other serious conditions.
Pregnancy and lactation safety data for this ingredient are not on file — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant or nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check your antibiotic medications before starting this product. Taking Bacillus subtilis at the same time as antibiotics may reduce how well the probiotic works — antibiotics can kill the live organisms in the formula.
Space them apart, and ask your pharmacist or doctor for the right timing. We couldn't check four of the active ingredients against drug databases, so running your full medication list through the tool on this page is important.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product is built around Bacillus subtilis and other probiotic strains, with the strongest evidence for antibiotic-associated diarrhea. If you take antibiotics, you'll need to space them apart from this powder — check with your doctor or pharmacist on timing.
For other uses, the evidence is limited. Before you start, run your medications through the checker on this page, and talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist.

For each ingredient in Performance Probiotic Natural Acai Flavor with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Dietary Fiber
Carbamazepine (Tegretol)
Theoretically, black psyllium might reduce the effects of carbamazepine and increase the risk for convulsions.
Theoretically, black psyllium might reduce carbamazepine absorption. A preliminary study using blond psyllium reported decreased carbamazepine bioavailability due to binding of the drug to psyllium, as well as reduction of available fluid in the gut for dissolution of the drug. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium.
Lithium
Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as lithium might reduce lithium absorption.
The fiber in black psyllium might reduce lithium absorption and plasma levels. Some case reports describe a reduction in plasma lithium levels with concomitant administration of blond psyllium. This was reversed when psyllium was stopped. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium.
Metformin (Glucophage)
Theoretically, black psyllium might increase the therapeutic and adverse effects of metformin.
Animal research shows that concurrent consumption of blond psyllium with metformin slows and increases the absorption of metformin. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium. To avoid changes in absorption, take psyllium 30-60 minutes after metformin.
Olanzapine (Zyprexa)
Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as olanzapine might reduce olanzapine absorption.
The fiber in black psyllium might decrease the absorption of olanzapine. A single case report describes a reduction in the effectiveness of olanzapine when it was concomitantly administered with an unspecified type of psyllium 3 grams orally twice daily. This effect was reversed when psyllium was stopped.
Digoxin (Lanoxin)
Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as digoxin might reduce digoxin absorption and decrease digoxin levels.
Psyllium might bind digoxin in the gut. However, some clinical evidence suggests that psyllium does not impact digoxin absorption.
Ethinyl Estradiol
Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as ethinyl estradiol might alter levels of estradiol.
Concurrent use of blond psyllium with ethinyl estradiol results in a slight increase in the extent of ethinyl estradiol absorption and a slower rate of absorption. This is unlikely to be clinically significant.
Oral Drugs
Theoretically, psyllium might increase, decrease, or have no effect on the absorption of oral drugs.
Psyllium seems to have variable effects on drug absorption. To avoid changes in absorption, take psyllium 30-60 minutes after oral medications. Animal research shows that blond psyllium delays and increases the absorption of metformin and ethinyl estradiol. Case reports and animal research suggest that blond psyllium might reduce absorption of lithium, digoxin, olanzapine, and carbamazepine. Finally, some pharmacokinetic studies show that psyllium does not affect the absorption of levothyroxine or warfarin. Although many of these studies evaluated blond psyllium, the fiber content in black psyllium may have similar effects.
Bacillus subtilis DE-111
Antibiotic Drugs
Theoretically, taking Bacillus subtilis with antibiotic drugs might decrease the effectiveness of B. subtilis.
Since B. subtilis 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. subtilis preparations by at least 2 hours.
