HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Prodegin by Klaire Labs

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 5 active ingredients.
  • “Probiotic Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (164 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Prodegin contains five active probiotic ingredients: four Lactobacillus species (salivarius, plantarum, paracasei, and acidophilus) and Lactobacillus rhamnosus, each a live beneficial bacterium meant to support gut health. The product also includes inactive ingredients — stearic acid, cherry and vanilla flavoring, silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, and licorice extract — which serve as binders, flow agents, and flavor.

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: Multispecies probiotic supplement.
  • We looked for evidence on: Antibiotic-associated diarrhea, Bacterial vaginosis, Clostridioides difficile infection, Constipation, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Lactose intolerance — 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: Lactobacillus Acidophilus is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Constipation, Rotaviral diarrhea, Lactose intolerance, Travelers' diarrhea.

Lactobacillus acidophilus, one of the five active ingredients, is rated Possibly Effective for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Helicobacter pylori infection, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and bacterial vaginosis. It's rated Possibly Ineffective for atopic disease, and there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate it for acute respiratory distress syndrome.

We don't have effectiveness ratings on file for the other four probiotic strains in this product.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient 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 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.

Lactobacillus acidophilus is generally well tolerated in healthy adults and children. The most common side effects from probiotic combinations are mild gastrointestinal effects — epigastric discomfort, abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence, and diarrhea — but these are uncommon.

In rare cases, live probiotic organisms have been found in serious infections like bacteremia or endocarditis, though this typically occurs when bacteria translocate from areas where they already exist in the body. One trial reported rash and itching, though it's unclear if L. acidophilus was the cause.

Because data are limited, check with your doctor before you start.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient 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?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient 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.

Before you take Prodegin, double-check any antibiotic drugs you're on — they can reduce how well the Lactobacillus acidophilus in this product works. Timing your doses apart may help.

We couldn't check the other four probiotic strains for interactions, so mention those to your pharmacist too.

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.

Prodegin is a five-strain probiotic that may help with IBS, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and a few other gut and vaginal concerns, though the evidence is still emerging. If you take antibiotics, spacing out your doses from this supplement can help.

Check your medications with our tool before starting, and run it by your doctor or pharmacist — especially if you have any chronic health conditions or a weakened immune system.

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.

Prodegin by Klaire Labs: Common Questions

Does Prodegin by Klaire Labs interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Prodegin 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?
Prodegin 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.
Does this probiotic work for IBS?
Lactobacillus acidophilus, one of the five strains in Prodegin, is rated Possibly Effective for IBS. That means there's some evidence it may help, but the research is still developing. Results vary person to person, so talk with your doctor about whether to try it for your specific symptoms.
Can I take this while on antibiotics?
Antibiotics can kill the live organisms in Prodegin, making the probiotic less effective. It's best to space them out — ask your pharmacist exactly how many hours apart to take them. Some people wait until they've finished their antibiotic course before starting the probiotic.
What side effects might I notice?
Most people tolerate Prodegin well. Mild bloating, gas, or loose stools can happen at first, especially when you're combining probiotics, but these are uncommon. If you develop a rash, severe abdominal pain, or feel unwell, stop and tell your doctor.
Is it safe to take during pregnancy?
Lactobacillus acidophilus is rated Possibly Safe in pregnancy, but we don't have enough data on the other four probiotic strains for pregnancy. Since safety can vary individually, talk with your OB or midwife before you start it.
What exactly are probiotics?
Probiotics are live beneficial bacteria meant to support your gut. Prodegin contains five Lactobacillus strains that naturally live in a healthy digestive system. They're thought to help restore balance, especially after antibiotics or during gut-related conditions.
Do I need to refrigerate this?
We don't have storage instructions on file for Prodegin. Check the label or contact the manufacturer directly for proper storage to keep the live organisms viable.
