HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Probiotic 5 Billion CFU Gummy by Meijer

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 Sep 3, 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 1 active ingredient.

This gummy has one active ingredient: Bacillus coagulans, a live probiotic organism that's meant to support digestive health. The rest is made up of sweeteners (maltitol and isomalt), pectin, citric acid, and flavoring — the standard gummy base.

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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded Bacillus Coagulans's overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports Bacillus Coagulans for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Constipation — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) — rated "Possibly Effective" (Natural Medicines).

Bacillus coagulans shows possibly effective evidence for constipation and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). For other uses listed — antibiotic-associated diarrhea, athletic performance, cancer, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease — the evidence isn't yet established enough to rate in the data we hold.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Bacillus Coagulans

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.

Bacillus coagulans is generally well tolerated in healthy adults, though the evidence and quality of probiotic products vary widely. The main safety concern is in people with weakened immune systems, central lines or catheters, severe illness, or premature infants — in those groups, there's a small risk of the bacteria causing infection.

Because reliable safety data is limited, talk with your doctor before starting, especially if you have a serious illness or weakened immunity.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Bacillus Coagulans

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

Antibiotics are the main concern — they can reduce how well this probiotic works. If you're prescribed an antibiotic, talk to your doctor or pharmacist about spacing out when you take your probiotic dose.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you have constipation or IBS and a healthy immune system, this gummy may be worth trying. Just keep antibiotics and this probiotic a few hours apart to make sure the probiotic survives and works.

If you're seriously ill, immunocompromised, or have a central catheter, check with your doctor first before taking any probiotic product.

Antibiotic Drugs

Theoretically, taking antibiotics with Bacillus coagulans might decrease the effectiveness of B. coagulans.
B. coagulans 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 B. coagulans preparations by at least two hours.

Probiotic 5 Billion CFU Gummy by Meijer: Common Questions

Does Probiotic 5 Billion CFU Gummy by Meijer interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Probiotic 5 Billion CFU Gummy 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?
Probiotic 5 Billion CFU Gummy 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.
Will this help my constipation?
Bacillus coagulans has possibly effective evidence for constipation, so it may help — but results vary from person to person. If it doesn't seem to work after a couple of weeks, talk to your doctor or pharmacist about other options.
What if I'm taking antibiotics?
The antibiotic will likely kill off the live bacteria in this gummy, making it less effective. Space out your doses — take the antibiotic a few hours apart from the gummy — and ask your doctor or pharmacist for the best timing.
Is this safe for me if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The data on file doesn't have safety information for pregnancy and lactation. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist — they can help you decide if it's right for you in your situation.
Are there any side effects?
Bacillus coagulans is generally well tolerated, though individual experiences vary. In healthy people with intact immune systems, serious problems are rare — but if you're severely ill or have a weakened immune system, there's a small risk of infection, so check with your doctor first.
What exactly is Bacillus coagulans?
It's a live probiotic bacterium — a 'good' organism meant to support your gut health and digestion. This gummy contains 5 billion colony-forming units (CFU) of it per serving.
Does this product have any fillers?
Yes — it has sweeteners, pectin, and flavoring agents (maltitol, isomalt, citric acid, and natural fruit flavors) to make the gummy, along with some colors from fruit extract and beta carotene.
