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.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
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
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.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
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.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
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.
The bottom line
