HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Standardized Sambucus Sambucus nigra + Probiotic by Nature's Answer

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Sep 17, 2026

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 1 of its 5 active ingredients.
  • “Immunity Probiotic Blend containing” is a proprietary blend — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

This formula contains 5 active ingredients: three Lactobacillus strains (acidophilus, paracasei, and rhamnosus GG), Bifidobacterium animalis lactis, and a standardized Black Elderberry fruit extract. The probiotics are live beneficial bacteria intended to support digestive and immune health, while the elderberry is a concentrated plant extract.

The capsules also contain three inactive ingredients — glycerin, hypromellose, and water — which serve as a base and binding agent.

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: Immune support with elderberry and probiotic.
  • We looked for evidence on: Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), Lower respiratory tract infections, Respiratory tract infections, Antibiotic-associated diarrhea, Lactose intolerance, Bacterial vaginosis — 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.
  • Also on file: Elderberry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Respiratory tract infections, Lower respiratory tract infections.

For Lactobacillus acidophilus, the evidence shows it's possibly effective for irritable bowel syndrome, Helicobacter pylori infection, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and bacterial vaginosis. It's rated possibly ineffective for atopic disease, and we don't have enough reliable evidence to rate it for acute respiratory distress syndrome.

For Black Elderberry, the data we hold does not establish effectiveness for any of the conditions tested — allergic rhinitis, cardiovascular disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, COPD, cognitive function, or respiratory tract infections are all rated insufficient evidence. The effectiveness of the specific probiotic blends isn't established in our data.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Elderberry 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 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.

Lactobacillus acidophilus is generally well tolerated in healthy adults and children. It can rarely cause gastrointestinal side effects like bloating, gas, abdominal pain, or diarrhea, though these are uncommon.

In very rare cases, the live bacteria have been reported in serious infections like sepsis or bloodstream infection, mostly in patients with compromised immune systems or underlying conditions. Black Elderberry prepared from ripe fruit is generally well tolerated when properly cooked, but raw or unripe berries, seeds, and leaves contain toxins that can cause nausea, vomiting, severe diarrhea, weakness, and dizziness — cooking eliminates this risk.

Safety data for elderberry in pregnancy and breastfeeding are not sufficient, so the recommendation is to avoid it during those periods. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Elderberry 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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Elderberry, Lactobacillus Acidophilus.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: immunosuppressants / transplant drugs.
  • For scale: 302 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 taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take immunosuppressants (used after organ transplant or for autoimmune conditions) — elderberry may reduce their effect. If you're on antibiotic therapy, time your doses several hours apart from the probiotic so the antibiotics don't kill the beneficial bacteria.

If you take pazopanib (Votrient) for cancer, do not combine it with this product without your oncologist's approval — there's a documented case of severe liver injury. Use the medication checker below for your complete medication list.

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

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 combination may appeal to you if you're interested in supporting digestive health with probiotics and immune function with elderberry, but check with your doctor first if you take immunosuppressants, antibiotics, or cancer medications like pazopanib. The probiotics are generally well tolerated, though the live organisms mean antibiotics can interfere with them.

Avoid this product during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist to make sure it fits your situation.

Lactobacillus acidophilus1 drug type · 182 drugs

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.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Lactobacillus acidophilus full monograph & interactions

Black Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) concentrated fruit extract2 drug types · 121 drugs

Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, elderberry might interfere with immunosuppressant therapy due to its immunostimulant activity.
Elderberry has immunostimulant activity, increasing the production of cytokines, including interleukin and tumor necrosis factor.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Pazopanib (Votrient)

Theoretically, elderberry might interact with pazopanib, potentially increasing the risk of adverse effects.
In one case, a 65-year-old patient taking pazopanib for 4 weeks for soft-tissue sarcoma developed severe nausea, loose stools, and elevated alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase levels and was diagnosed with grade 3 liver injury. The patient reported taking elderberry supplements for 2 years, dose unspecified, and was also taking a multivitamin and a calcium supplement. The patient's symptoms and liver enzyme levels improved upon discontinuation of pazopanib and all supplements. Pazopanib treatment was re-initiated, at a lower dose, with no further evidence of liver injury. It was unclear in this case report if the elderberry supplements were derived from the berry, the flower, or the combination.

Standardized Sambucus Sambucus nigra + Probiotic by Nature's Answer: Common Questions

Does Standardized Sambucus Sambucus nigra + Probiotic by Nature's Answer interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Standardized Sambucus Sambucus nigra + Probiotic has a known interaction with 302 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Standardized Sambucus Sambucus nigra + Probiotic contains 5 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 take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The safety data for Black Elderberry are not sufficient in pregnancy or breastfeeding, so the recommendation is to avoid it during those periods. The probiotics don't have enough data either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your individual situation before taking this product while pregnant or nursing.
What are the probiotics in this formula supposed to do?
This product contains three strains of beneficial bacteria — Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. paracasei, and L. rhamnosus GG — plus Bifidobacterium animalis lactis. These live organisms are intended to support digestive and immune health. The acidophilus strain has evidence suggesting it may help with irritable bowel syndrome, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and bacterial vaginosis.
I just started antibiotics. Should I take this probiotic at the same time?
No — taking antibiotics and Lactobacillus acidophilus together may kill many of the beneficial bacteria in the probiotic, making it less effective. Ask your pharmacist to help you time the doses several hours apart, so the antibiotic and probiotic don't work against each other.
Is the elderberry in this product raw or cooked?
This product contains a concentrated fruit extract from ripe elderberries, which should be properly prepared. Raw or unripe berries, seeds, and leaves can cause nausea, vomiting, and severe diarrhea because they contain toxins — but those are eliminated by cooking. As a standardized extract, this preparation should be safe on that front.
What adverse effects might I experience?
The probiotics and elderberry extract are generally well tolerated. Some people report mild gastrointestinal side effects from probiotics like bloating, gas, or mild abdominal discomfort, though these are uncommon. Rarely, serious infections from live bacteria have been reported, mainly in people with weakened immune systems.
Does this product work for colds or the flu?
The data we hold on Black Elderberry does not establish that it works for respiratory tract infections, colds, or the flu. The evidence is rated insufficient, so we can't say whether it's effective for these conditions.
