HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Probiotic 60 Billion by New Age

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

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 8 active ingredients.
  • “Prebiotic Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (50 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “Probiotic Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

Probiotic 60 Billion contains 8 active ingredients: five live Lactobacillus strains (paracasei, acidophilus, casei, salivarius, and plantarum), plus prebiotic fibers from jerusalem artichoke, chicory, and blue agave inulin. The probiotics are beneficial bacteria meant to support gut health; the prebiotics are fermentable fibers that feed those bacteria.

The product also contains inactive ingredients — magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, and microcrystalline cellulose — which are common capsule fillers and binders.

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: Digestive health and prebiotic gut balance.
  • We looked for evidence on: Antibiotic-associated diarrhea, Bacterial vaginosis, Clostridioides difficile infection, Colic, Constipation, Dyspepsia — 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 Bacterial vaginosis, Helicobacter pylori, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
  • Also on file: Inulin is rated "Possibly Effective" for Constipation.

Evidence is mixed and often limited. Lactobacillus acidophilus is possibly effective for irritable bowel syndrome, Helicobacter pylori infection, antibiotic-related diarrhea, and bacterial vaginosis.

Inulin is possibly effective for obesity, constipation, and diabetes. Chicory has insufficient evidence to rate for osteoarthritis, indigestion, fatty liver disease, or high cholesterol.

No effectiveness data is on file for the other Lactobacillus strains or jerusalem artichoke in this product.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Chicory Inulin Lactobacillus Acidophilus

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 is generally well tolerated in healthy adults and children, though live probiotic organisms theoretically carry a small risk of infection in certain patients — your doctor should weigh that before you start. Inulin commonly causes bloating, gas, diarrhea, and cramping, especially at higher doses.

Chicory may cause abdominal pain, bloating, gas, and belching; it can also trigger allergies in people sensitive to ragweed, daisies, or related plants. Chicory in medicinal amounts is possibly unsafe in pregnancy and should not be used without medical guidance; breastfeeding safety is unclear.

Inulin is likely safe in pregnancy and lactation. Lactobacillus acidophilus is possibly safe in pregnancy but has no lactation data on file.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Chicory Inulin Lactobacillus Acidophilus

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 — Chicory, Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Inulin.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 268 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.

Check your medications before starting, especially if you take diabetes drugs (antidiabetes medications) — two ingredients here may increase the risk of low blood sugar. If you're on antibiotics, separate your doses by several hours or ask your pharmacist for timing advice, since the live bacteria in this product might be killed by the antibiotic.

No interactions are documented for the other Lactobacillus strains or jerusalem artichoke in the ingredients we could check.

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 product may help with certain digestive issues if you're not on antibiotics or diabetes medications, but the evidence varies by ingredient. If you take diabetes drugs or antibiotics, or if you have a compromised immune system, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it — they can weigh the potential benefits against your individual health and medication picture.

Bloating and gas are common side effects, and some people may react to the chicory content.

Probiotic 60 Billion by New Age: Common Questions

Does Probiotic 60 Billion by New Age interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Probiotic 60 Billion has a known interaction with 268 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Probiotic 60 Billion contains 4 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.
Will this interfere with my diabetes medication?
Possibly. Both chicory and inulin in this product theoretically may lower blood sugar, which could increase the risk of hypoglycemia if you're already on a diabetes drug. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — they can review your specific medication and monitor your blood sugar if you do take this product.
Can I take this with my antibiotic?
The live Lactobacillus acidophilus in here might be killed by antibiotics, which would reduce the probiotic's benefit. Most healthcare providers recommend separating the doses by a few hours. Check with your pharmacist for the best timing for your specific antibiotic.
Does this really work for diarrhea or digestion?
Lactobacillus acidophilus is possibly effective for antibiotic-related diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome. Inulin is possibly effective for constipation. But the evidence isn't strong for all uses, and results vary from person to person.
What's the most common side effect I might notice?
Gas, bloating, and cramping are the most common complaints, especially when you first start taking it or if you're sensitive to chicory or inulin. These often settle down as your gut adjusts, but if they're severe or last, mention it to your pharmacist.
Is it safe to take this while pregnant?
Lactobacillus acidophilus is possibly safe in pregnancy, but chicory in medicinal amounts is possibly unsafe and should be avoided — the product contains chicory extract, so it's best to check with your doctor before use. Inulin is likely safe, but your doctor can give you the best personalized advice.
Is it safe while breastfeeding?
Inulin is likely safe while breastfeeding. Lactobacillus acidophilus and chicory safety data for breastfeeding isn't on file, so ask your doctor or pharmacist before you start.
