HelloPharmacist Scorecard of S. Thermophilus by Custom Probiotics

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 1 active ingredient.

This product contains one active ingredient: S. thermophilus (Streptococcus thermophilus), a live probiotic bacterium. There are no other inactive ingredients listed.

Probiotics like S. thermophilus are beneficial bacteria meant to support gut health and balance.

Does it work?

Not established
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
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Streptococcus Thermophilus's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: dairy-free probiotic powder digestive health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Antibiotic-associated diarrhea, Clostridioides difficile infection, Constipation, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Pouchitis, Rotaviral diarrhea — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Streptococcus Thermophilus is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Antibiotic-associated diarrhea (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Streptococcus Thermophilus is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Constipation, Diarrhea, Ulcerative colitis, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and more.

The evidence for S. thermophilus is limited. Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for antibiotic-associated diarrhea, bacterial vaginosis, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), constipation, diabetes, or diabetic kidney disease (diabetic nephropathy).

That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means large, high-quality studies haven't yet established what it can or can't do for these conditions. If you're thinking about it for a specific reason, talk with your doctor about whether the evidence is there.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Streptococcus Thermophilus

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.

S. thermophilus is generally well tolerated in healthy people. The main safety concern is for anyone with a weakened immune system — whether from illness, age, premature birth, or medical devices like central catheters — where live probiotic microorganisms carry a small theoretical risk of infection.

For pregnancy, the data shows it's possibly safe, but probiotics from food are considered more established than supplements; talk with your doctor or midwife before taking this supplement during pregnancy. Lactation safety data isn't on file.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Streptococcus Thermophilus

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for S. thermophilus. That said, always run your full medication list through the checker on this page or ask your pharmacist — probiotics may behave differently in individual patients, especially those with compromised immunity or serious illness.

S. Thermophilus by Custom Probiotics: Common Questions

Does S. Thermophilus by Custom Probiotics interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in S. Thermophilus. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
S. Thermophilus 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.
Is S. thermophilus safe if I have a weak immune system?
People with weakened immune systems — from illness, medical devices, prematurity, or other causes — should talk with their doctor first. Live probiotic bacteria carry a small theoretical risk of infection in this population, though it's rare in people with intact immune defenses.
Can I take this while pregnant?
The data shows S. thermophilus is possibly safe in pregnancy, but probiotics from food are considered more established than supplements. Talk with your doctor or midwife before starting this supplement — they can weigh the evidence for your specific situation.
Will this help my constipation or diarrhea?
Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate S. thermophilus for either condition. That means the research isn't yet clear on whether it works. Your doctor can help you figure out if it's worth trying or if another approach makes more sense.
Does this product have fillers or other inactive ingredients?
No other inactive ingredients are listed for this product — it's just the S. thermophilus powder.
Can I take this with my medications?
No interactions are documented in our data for this ingredient. Run your exact medication list through the checker on this page, or ask your pharmacist to be sure — they can review your full picture.
