HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Probiotic Ultra with 40 Billion CFU'S by NutriSuppz

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 6 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend of Probiotic Bacteria MAKTREK” is a proprietary blend — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

Probiotic Ultra contains six active ingredients: two named Lactobacillus strains (acidophilus LA-14 and paracasei LPC-37), two Bifidobacterium strains, Lactobacillus plantarum, Fructooligosaccharides (a prebiotic fiber that feeds good bacteria), and Marine Polysaccharides. Together they're designed to deliver 40 billion colony-forming units (CFUs) — the active live organisms — per dose.

The remaining ingredients are inactive fillers: cellulose, rice maltodextrin, and L-leucine.

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, Bacterial vaginosis, Clostridioides difficile infection, Colic, Constipation, Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) — 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, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
  • Also on file: Fructo-oligosaccharides (fos) is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Constipation, Travelers' diarrhea.

The evidence we hold is limited and mixed. Lactobacillus acidophilus (one of the active strains here) is rated Possibly Effective for irritable bowel syndrome, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, Helicobacter pylori, and bacterial vaginosis.

For Fructooligosaccharides, the data we have shows Insufficient Reliable Evidence to rate its use for constipation, diabetes, bone health, high cholesterol, or traveler's diarrhea — meaning the research isn't solid enough yet to say whether it works for those purposes. We don't have effectiveness data on file for the other probiotic strains in this product.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Fructo-oligosaccharides (fos) 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 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.

Lactobacillus acidophilus is generally well tolerated in healthy adults and children, though you should check with your doctor before use. Fructooligosaccharides can cause gas, bloating, abdominal pain, and flatulence — these are usually mild at doses under 10 grams per day, and clinical trials suggest they don't occur more often than placebo at typical dosing.

When you take Lactobacillus acidophilus with other probiotics, uncommon gastrointestinal side effects like stomach discomfort, bloating, or diarrhea may occur. Because live probiotic bacteria can, in rare cases, cause serious infection in people with compromised immune systems, check with your doctor before starting if you have any concerns about your immune health.

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 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Lactobacillus Acidophilus.
  • 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.

If you take antibiotic drugs, check with your pharmacist or doctor before adding this product — taking them at the same time may reduce how well the probiotic works. We could not check three of the other active ingredients for interactions, so run your exact medications through the search tool on this page to be sure.

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 if you have irritable bowel syndrome, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, or certain bacterial infections — Lactobacillus acidophilus has some evidence for those. If you're taking antibiotics, separate them from this probiotic by a few hours so the antibiotic doesn't kill off the beneficial bacteria.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, especially if you're on any regular medications or have immune system concerns.

Antibiotic Drugs

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

Probiotic Ultra with 40 Billion CFU'S by NutriSuppz: Common Questions

Does Probiotic Ultra with 40 Billion CFU'S by NutriSuppz interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Probiotic Ultra with 40 Billion CFU'S 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 Ultra with 40 Billion CFU'S contains 6 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 I take this while I'm on antibiotics?
You can, but timing matters. Taking antibiotics at the same time as this probiotic may reduce how well the probiotic works, since antibiotics can kill off the live bacteria in it. Ask your pharmacist about spacing them out — usually a few hours apart helps. Your doctor or pharmacist can give you personalized timing advice.
Will this probiotic give me gas or bloating?
Some people do experience gas, bloating, or abdominal discomfort when taking probiotics or the prebiotic fiber in this product. Clinical trials suggest these side effects are uncommon at typical doses, but they can happen. If you have a sensitive gut, start with a smaller dose and work up, then talk with your doctor if symptoms persist.
Is this safe during pregnancy?
Lactobacillus acidophilus, one of the strains in this product, is rated Possibly Safe in pregnancy. We don't have pregnancy safety data on file for the other probiotic strains. Because the evidence is limited, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it while pregnant to make sure it's right for you.
What's the difference between the probiotics and the Fructooligosaccharides in here?
The probiotics (the Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains) are live beneficial bacteria meant to colonize your gut. The Fructooligosaccharides are a prebiotic fiber that acts as food for those bacteria, helping them thrive. Together they work as a team to support digestive health.
Will this help my IBS or diarrhea?
Lactobacillus acidophilus in this product is rated Possibly Effective for irritable bowel syndrome and antibiotic-associated diarrhea. That means there's some evidence it may help, but it's not a guarantee for everyone. If you have IBS or diarrhea, talk with your doctor about whether this is a good fit for your situation.
