HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Super Immune Space Sprinkles by Douglas Laboratories

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

Partial disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Partial

Most active ingredients list an amount, but at least one is hidden in a blend or missing.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 4 of its 8 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (1,522 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This powder contains 8 ingredients, including three live probiotic bacteria: Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, and Bifidobacterium bifidum. These are beneficial microorganisms meant to support your gut flora.

You'll also find beet for its nutrient content, plus FOS (a type of prebiotic fiber that feeds probiotics), cane juice sugar, maltodextrin, and Nat-Stim. The product contains no other inactive ingredients listed.

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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports its ingredients for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Athletic performance — rated "Possibly Effective" (Beet) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Exercise-induced muscle soreness — rated "Possibly Effective" (Beet) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Antibiotic-associated diarrhea — rated "Possibly Effective" (Lactobacillus Acidophilus) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Bacterial vaginosis — rated "Possibly Effective" (Lactobacillus Acidophilus) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Helicobacter pylori — rated "Possibly Effective" (Lactobacillus Acidophilus) (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for each probiotic in this blend varies. Lactobacillus acidophilus is possibly effective for irritable bowel syndrome, Helicobacter pylori infection, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and bacterial vaginosis.

Bifidobacterium bifidum is possibly effective for irritable bowel syndrome and respiratory tract infections. Lactobacillus bulgaricus, however, has insufficient evidence to rate for any condition we hold data on—meaning studies haven't yet established whether it works for the claims made about it.

Beet is possibly effective for athletic performance and exercise-induced muscle soreness. The evidence for many other uses—allergies, asthma, cognitive function—is either insufficient or points toward ineffectiveness.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Beet Lactobacillus Acidophilus Lactobacillus Delbrueckii Bifidobacterium Bifidum

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 4 of the 4 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 4 of 4.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 4 of 4.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

The three probiotics are generally well tolerated in healthy adults and children, though people with weakened immune systems should check with their doctor first. Rare but serious infections (like sepsis or bacteremia) have been reported with live probiotics, though these are uncommon and typically occur in very ill patients.

Most side effects are mild gastrointestinal symptoms—bloating, gas, abdominal discomfort—and are infrequent. Beet is generally well tolerated as a food; however, concentrated beet supplements lack extensive safety data.

Expect red or dark-colored stools, which is harmless. In rare cases, very large amounts of beet have been associated with low blood calcium and kidney damage.

Lactobacillus acidophilus is possibly safe in pregnancy; data on Bifidobacterium bifidum in pregnancy is also possibly safe. For Lactobacillus bulgaricus and beet, safety data in pregnancy and lactation are not well established, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before use during these times.

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?
  • 4 of the 4 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Beet, Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Bifidobacterium Bifidum, Lactobacillus Delbrueckii.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 1,025 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.

Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product if you're on antibiotic drugs—spacing the dose several hours apart from your antibiotic is important. If you take medications processed through your liver's CYP3A4 pathway (a Moderate interaction with beet), confirm it's safe first.

If you're on blood pressure medications or CYP1A2 substrate drugs, mention this product so they can assess the Minor interactions.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glancePartially disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Super Immune Space Sprinkles may be worth considering if you're looking to support gut health—particularly for irritable bowel syndrome or antibiotic-associated diarrhea—but the evidence is strongest for Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum. Be careful if you take antibiotics, blood pressure medications, or drugs metabolized by your liver, especially CYP3A4 substrates.

Check your medications with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting, and if you have a weakened immune system or are pregnant or breastfeeding, get personalized advice first.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Super Immune Space Sprinkles with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Beet3 drug types · 861 drugs

Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates

Theoretically, beet might increase the levels of CYP3A4 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that betanin, the major pigment in beet, competitively inhibits CYP3A4 in a dose-dependent manner similarly to strong CYP3A4 inhibitor ketoconazole.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Beet and beetroot contain nitrates, which can cause vasodilation, potentially leading to lower blood pressure. However, a study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition using concentrated beetroot juice found no significant impact on blood pressure or heart rate in different age groups. Other small clinical studies suggest that while beet consumption might transiently lower blood pressure due to vessel dilation, there's no consistent evidence of a lasting effect. Overall, the theoretical risk of reduced blood pressure due to beet's nitrate content exists, but studies generally indicate a low and temporary impact rather than a sustained decrease.

Likelihood Possible Evidence A
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates

Theoretically, beet might decrease the levels and clinical effects of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro research suggests that beet induces CYP1A2 enzymes.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Beet full monograph & interactions

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

Lactobacillus bulgaricus1 drug type · 182 drugs

Antibiotic Drugs

Theoretically, taking Lactobacillus delbrueckii with antibiotic drugs might decrease the effectiveness of L. delbrueckii.
Lactobacillus delbrueckii 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. delbrueckii preparations by at least two hours.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Lactobacillus bulgaricus full monograph & interactions

Bifidobacterium bifidum1 drug type · 182 drugs

Antibiotic Drugs

Theoretically, taking Bifidobacterium. bifidum with antibiotic drugs might decrease the effectiveness of B. bifidum.
Since B. bifidum 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. bifidum preparations by at least 2 hours.

Super Immune Space Sprinkles by Douglas Laboratories: Common Questions

Does Super Immune Space Sprinkles by Douglas Laboratories interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Super Immune Space Sprinkles has a known interaction with 1,024 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Super Immune Space Sprinkles contains 8 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 while I'm on antibiotics?
Not at the same time. All three probiotics in this product may lose effectiveness if you take antibiotics together because the antibiotics can kill off the live organisms. Your doctor or pharmacist can help you space them out—often several hours apart works—so you get the benefit of both.
Does Lactobacillus acidophilus really help with IBS?
It's possibly effective, meaning some evidence supports it, but it's not a guaranteed cure. The data we hold shows promise for irritable bowel syndrome, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and a few other digestive issues, but results aren't definitive for everyone.
What's FOS doing in here?
FOS is a prebiotic—basically food for the probiotics. It helps the live bacteria in the product thrive once they reach your gut.
Is beet safe in this product?
Beet as a food is well tolerated, but this is a concentrated supplement, and the safety data are limited. Expect your stools to turn red or dark, which is harmless. Check with your doctor first if you're on medications your liver processes or if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
Can I take this if I have a weak immune system?
The probiotics in this product are live organisms, so they carry a rare but real risk of infection in people with weakened immune systems. Talk with your doctor before taking it—they know your individual situation best.
Is this safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum are possibly safe in pregnancy, but the data on Lactobacillus bulgaricus and beet in pregnancy and lactation aren't well established. Check with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance.
