HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Restore-Biotic Children's Cherry Chewable Tablets by NutriCology

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 2 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (13.93 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains 2 active probiotic ingredients: Lactobacillus acidophilus DDS-1 and Bifidobacterium lactis UABla-12, both live beneficial bacteria intended to support digestive health. The inactive ingredients include xylitol (a sweetener), inulin (a prebiotic fiber), cherry and berry flavors, and several binders and flow agents to hold the tablet together.

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: pediatric probiotic for digestive and immune health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Antibiotic-associated diarrhea, Colic, Constipation, Lactose intolerance, Rotaviral diarrhea, Travelers' diarrhea — and 2 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 "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Constipation, Lactose intolerance, Rotaviral diarrhea, Travelers' diarrhea, and more.

Lactobacillus acidophilus is rated possibly effective for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Helicobacter pylori infection, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and bacterial vaginosis based on the evidence we hold. For atopic disease (allergic and inflammatory conditions), the evidence suggests it's possibly ineffective.

For acute respiratory distress syndrome, there isn't enough reliable evidence to rate it either way. We have no effectiveness data on file for Bifidobacterium lactis UABla-12.

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 children and adults. Minor gastrointestinal side effects like stomach discomfort, bloating, gas, or diarrhea can occur when taking it with other probiotics, but these are uncommon.

In rare cases, the live bacteria have been associated with serious infections in people with weakened immunity or certain underlying conditions — this is thought to happen when bacteria move from their normal location in the gut to other parts of the body. Before giving this to your child, especially if they have a serious illness or compromised immune system, talk with your doctor.

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.

Antibiotic drugs (Moderate severity) can reduce the effectiveness of the Lactobacillus acidophilus in this product by killing the live organisms. Space out the timing of antibiotics and this probiotic — your doctor or pharmacist can advise on the best schedule for your child.

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 probiotic may help with IBS, antibiotic-related diarrhea, and a few other digestive or bacterial concerns, though the evidence is not definitive. The main thing to watch is taking it separately from antibiotics so the bacteria aren't killed off.

If your child has any chronic illness, immunosuppression, or you're unsure whether it's right for them, check with your pediatrician or pharmacist before starting.

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.

Restore-Biotic Children's Cherry Chewable Tablets by NutriCology: Common Questions

Does Restore-Biotic Children's Cherry Chewable Tablets by NutriCology interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Restore-Biotic Children's Cherry Chewable Tablets 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?
Restore-Biotic Children's Cherry Chewable Tablets 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 I give this to my child while they're on an antibiotic?
Not at the same time. Antibiotics kill the beneficial bacteria in probiotics, so they won't work as intended. Talk with your pharmacist about separating the doses — often a few hours apart is enough, but it depends on the specific antibiotic.
What are these bacteria supposed to do?
Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium lactis are live beneficial bacteria meant to support digestive health. They may help with issues like irritable bowel syndrome, diarrhea linked to antibiotic use, or certain bacterial infections, though the evidence is strongest for antibiotic-related diarrhea.
Does this product have a lot of added ingredients or fillers?
It contains a few inactive ingredients like xylitol (a sugar alcohol sweetener), inulin (a fiber), cherry flavor, and standard binders and flow agents to make the tablet. There aren't unnecessary fillers beyond what's needed to make the tablet work.
Are there any side effects I should watch for?
Most kids tolerate it well. Occasionally there's mild stomach discomfort, bloating, gas, or loose stool, but these are uncommon. If your child has a weakened immune system or serious illness, talk with your doctor first, since in very rare cases these bacteria can cause serious infections in vulnerable people.
Is it safe to take if my child is pregnant or breastfeeding?
We have some data showing Lactobacillus acidophilus is possibly safe in pregnancy, but we don't have breastfeeding safety information on file for this specific ingredient. Since this is for children, talk with your pediatrician about whether it's right for your situation.
Will this help my child's allergies or eczema?
The evidence we hold suggests Lactobacillus acidophilus is possibly ineffective for atopic disease (allergies and inflammatory skin conditions like eczema), so it's not supported for that purpose.
