HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Probiotic AvilaKids Organic Gummies Strawberry Flavored by Amvilab

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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains two active ingredients: sodium and Bacillus subtilis DE111, a live probiotic strain. Sodium is an essential mineral that helps maintain fluid balance and nerve function, though excess intake is a concern for some people.

Bacillus subtilis DE111 is a beneficial bacterium intended to support digestive and immune health. The gummies also contain several inactive ingredients — tapioca syrup, cane sugar, natural flavors, pectin, citric acid, sodium citrate, black carrot concentrate, sunflower oil, and corn starch — which give the product its texture, taste, and shelf stability.

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 gut microbiome balance.
  • We looked for evidence on: Antibiotic-associated diarrhea, Clostridioides difficile infection, Constipation, Diarrhea, Dyspepsia, Flatulence — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Bacillus Subtilis is rated "Possibly Effective" for Antibiotic-associated diarrhea (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Bacillus Subtilis is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Constipation, Diarrhea, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, and more.

The evidence on these ingredients varies by condition. For sodium, it's rated Likely Effective for cystic fibrosis and Possibly Effective for protecting against amphotericin B kidney damage (amphotericin B nephrotoxicity), though the data on other uses is insufficient.

For Bacillus subtilis DE111, it's rated Possibly Effective for antibiotic-associated diarrhea — the most established benefit. For other conditions like athletic performance, cirrhosis, constipation, eczema, and diabetes, the evidence in our data is insufficient to rate it.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Sodium Bacillus Subtilis

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Sodium is generally well tolerated when you take it in normal dietary amounts up to the recommended daily limit of 2.3 grams. However, the product's safety notes advise caution: too much sodium is linked to high blood pressure and heart strain.

Serious side effects are rare but can include worsened cardiovascular or kidney disease. Avoid sodium supplements or very high intake without talking to your doctor first.

Bacillus subtilis DE111 is generally well tolerated in healthy adults, though one headache was reported in a clinical trial and diarrhea rarely. There's not enough safety data on this strain overall, so it's best to avoid it unless your doctor advises otherwise.

For pregnancy and breastfeeding, sodium is rated Likely Safe, but the safety data for Bacillus subtilis DE111 during pregnancy and lactation is not on file — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant or nursing.

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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Sodium, Bacillus Subtilis.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: lithium.
  • For scale: 387 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.

Before taking this product, double-check the following medication types with your doctor or pharmacist: antihypertensive drugs (blood pressure medications) — high sodium might reduce their effect; corticosteroids, lithium, didanosine, sodium phosphate solutions, tolvaptan, and other sodium-containing drugs — sodium can increase your levels or alter how the drug works; and antibiotic drugs — they may reduce how well the probiotic works if taken at the same time.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product might appeal to families looking for a probiotic gummy, but the sodium content and probiotic strain come with caveats. If you or your child takes blood pressure medication, heart drugs, lithium, antibiotics, corticosteroids, or other sodium-containing products, check with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Even if none of those apply, limited safety data exists for the probiotic strain in this product, especially in young children — talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist before use.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Probiotic AvilaKids Organic Gummies Strawberry Flavored 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.

Sodium7 drug types · 205 drugs

Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, a high intake of dietary sodium might reduce the effectiveness of antihypertensive drugs.
High intake of dietary sodium can increase systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Also, high intake of sodium may necessitate increased use of antihypertensive medications to achieve blood pressure control in some patients, such as those with chronic kidney disease.

Likelihood Probable Evidence A
Corticosteroids

Concomitant use of mineralocorticoids and some glucocorticoids with sodium supplements might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Mineralocorticoids and some glucocorticoids (corticosteroids) cause sodium retention. This effect is dose-related and depends on mineralocorticoid potency. It is most common with hydrocortisone, cortisone, and fludrocortisone, followed by prednisone and prednisolone.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Didanosine (Videx)

Concomitant use of didanosine with additional sodium from dietary or supplemental sources may increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Didanosine formulations contain a significant amount of sodium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence C
Lithium

Altering dietary intake of sodium might alter the levels and clinical effects of lithium.
High sodium intake can reduce plasma concentrations of lithium by increasing lithium excretion. Reducing sodium intake can significantly increase plasma concentrations of lithium and cause lithium toxicity in patients being treated with lithium carbonate. Stabilizing sodium intake is shown to reduce the percentage of patients with lithium level fluctuations above 0.8 mEq/L. Patients taking lithium should avoid significant alterations in their dietary intake of sodium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Sodium Phosphates

Theoretically, concomitant use of sodium phosphate with sodium supplements might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Use of high doses (> 45 mL in 24 hours) of sodium phosphate, such as those used for bowel cleansing before surgery, can lead to serious electrolyte disturbances, including hypernatremia. The risk of hypernatremia is highest in the elderly and people with other risk factors for electrolyte disturbances.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Sodium-Containing Drugs

Concomitant use of sodium-containing drugs with additional sodium from dietary or supplemental sources may increase the risk of hypernatremia and long-term sodium-related complications.
The Chronic Disease Risk Reduction (CDRR) intake level of 2.3 grams of sodium daily indicates the intake at which it is believed that chronic disease risk increases for the apparently healthy population. Some medications contain high quantities of sodium. When used in conjunction with sodium supplements or high-sodium diets, the CDRR may be exceeded. Additionally, concomitant use may increase the risk for hypernatremia; this risk is highest in the elderly and people with other risk factors for electrolyte disturbances.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Tolvaptan (Samsca)

Theoretically, concomitant use of tolvaptan with sodium might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Tolvaptan is a vasopressin receptor 2 antagonist that is used to increase sodium levels in patients with hyponatremia. Patients taking tolvaptan should use caution with the use of sodium salts such as sodium chloride.

Likelihood Probable Evidence C
Sodium full monograph & interactions

Bacillus subtilis DE1111 drug type · 182 drugs

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.

Probiotic AvilaKids Organic Gummies Strawberry Flavored by Amvilab: Common Questions

Does Probiotic AvilaKids Organic Gummies Strawberry Flavored by Amvilab interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Probiotic AvilaKids Organic Gummies Strawberry Flavored has a known interaction with 387 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Probiotic AvilaKids Organic Gummies Strawberry Flavored contains 2 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 my child take this if they're on an antibiotic?
Not at the same time. Antibiotics can kill the live organisms in this probiotic, making it less effective. Ask your doctor or pharmacist to space out when you give them — typically several hours apart — or to wait until the antibiotic course is done before starting the probiotic.
Does this product have a lot of sodium in it?
The product contains sodium, but a single gummy serving typically has much less than a full sodium supplement would. If your child has high blood pressure, heart disease, or takes certain medications like lithium, check with your doctor or pharmacist before giving it to them.
Is this safe for my toddler?
There isn't enough safety data on Bacillus subtilis DE111 in very young children. Talk with your child's doctor before starting any new probiotic, especially in kids under a certain age.
Does the Bacillus subtilis in this actually work?
It's rated Possibly Effective for antibiotic-associated diarrhea — the strongest evidence we have. For other uses like general digestion, constipation, or immune support, the evidence in our data is insufficient to rate it reliably.
Is it okay to take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Sodium is rated Likely Safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but we don't have enough safety data on the Bacillus subtilis strain to say either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice based on your situation.
What are the inactive ingredients and do they matter?
The gummies contain tapioca syrup, cane sugar, pectin, citric acid, sodium citrate, black carrot, sunflower oil, and corn starch — these are fillers and flavorings to make the product taste and feel like a gummy. If your child has any allergies to these, check the label before giving it.
