HelloPharmacist Scorecard of SBO Mood Boost by Lifted Naturals

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

SBO Mood Boost contains 3 active ingredients: two individual probiotic species (B. subtilis and B. coagulans) and a blend of soil-based organisms (SBO Probiotic Blend). These are live-organism probiotics — the kind designed to colonize your digestive tract and support gut flora.

The product also contains methylcellulose as an inactive ingredient (a capsule binder).

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: mood and digestive health support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Depression, Constipation, Diarrhea, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) — and 3 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Bacillus Coagulans is rated "Possibly Effective" for Constipation (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Bacillus Coagulans is rated "Possibly Effective" for Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
  • Also on file: Bacillus Subtilis is rated "Possibly Effective" for Antibiotic-associated diarrhea.

B. subtilis is rated Possibly Effective for antibiotic-associated diarrhea. B. coagulans is rated Possibly Effective for constipation and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

For most other conditions listed in the research — athletic performance, eczema, diabetes, and others — the evidence isn't strong enough to rate either ingredient. The effectiveness data for the SBO Probiotic Blend and B. indicus isn't on file.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Bacillus Subtilis Bacillus Coagulans

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.

Both B. subtilis and B. coagulans are generally well tolerated in healthy adults, though product quality can vary from brand to brand. That said, there isn't enough safety data overall to recommend either without a doctor's go-ahead.

B. subtilis has rarely caused diarrhea in trials, and one headache was reported. In immunocompromised patients or those with central lines (like dialysis catheters), live probiotics carry a theoretical risk of infection — cases of bacteremia and sepsis have been reported, though they're uncommon in people with intact immune systems.

For pregnancy and breastfeeding, there isn't enough information to know if either ingredient is safe; talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your individual situation before taking this product.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Bacillus Subtilis Bacillus Coagulans

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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Bacillus Coagulans, Bacillus Subtilis.
  • 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 are the main concern. Taking antibiotics at the same time as this product may reduce how well the B. subtilis or B. coagulans survives and works.

Ask your doctor or pharmacist about the best timing — usually you'll want to separate them by a few hours.

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 with antibiotic-related diarrhea, constipation, or IBS if the research holds up for you personally — but the evidence is still limited. If you take antibiotics, space them away from this product to keep the probiotics alive.

If you're immunocompromised or have a central catheter, check with your doctor first. Talk it over with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have other health concerns.

B. subtilis1 drug type · 182 drugs

Antibiotic Drugs

Theoretically, taking Bacillus subtilis with antibiotic drugs might decrease the effectiveness of B. subtilis.
Since B. subtilis preparations usually contain live and active organisms, simultaneously taking antibiotics might kill a significant number of the organisms. Tell patients to separate administration of antibiotics and B. subtilis preparations by at least 2 hours.

SBO Mood Boost by Lifted Naturals: Common Questions

Does SBO Mood Boost by Lifted Naturals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, SBO Mood Boost 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?
SBO Mood Boost contains 3 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.
Does this actually work for mood?
The product name is 'Mood Boost,' but our data doesn't cover mood or mental health outcomes for these ingredients. The research we have shows B. coagulans may help with constipation and IBS, and B. subtilis possibly helps with diarrhea from antibiotics — but mood isn't on that list. If mood support is your main goal, talk with your doctor about what's actually been tested.
Can I take this with antibiotics?
Technically, yes — but not at the same time. Antibiotics can kill the live organisms in the probiotic, making it less effective. Space them apart (often a few hours works), and ask your pharmacist for the timing that fits your antibiotic schedule best.
What are soil-based probiotics (SBO)?
Soil-based organisms are probiotic species that naturally live in earth and plants — like the B. subtilis and B. coagulans in this blend. They're marketed as more 'resilient' than dairy-based probiotics, but the evidence for extra benefits is still limited.
Are there any side effects I should know about?
Both main ingredients are generally well tolerated, but diarrhea has been reported rarely, and one headache came up in a trial. In healthy people with normal immune systems, serious infection from probiotics is very uncommon — but if you're immunocompromised or have a central line (like for dialysis), ask your doctor before starting.
Is this safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough information yet to say whether B. subtilis or B. coagulans is safe in pregnancy or lactation. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your specific situation before taking it.
Why does the label say 'SBO Probiotic Blend' if it already lists B. subtilis and B. coagulans?
The blend is a separate ingredient container that holds other probiotic species beyond just those two. We don't have individual data on what else is in that blend, so we can't evaluate all of its components for interactions or effectiveness.
