What is this page for?

Around that, we add a pharmacist’s high-level view of the product as a whole — what’s inside, the evidence for its stated use, how transparent the label is, and what safety data exists — so you can see the full picture in one place. It’s educational information from our licensed clinical databases and the clinical staff at HelloPharmacist — not medical advice — and we don’t sell or endorse products. Our editorial policy

HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Super Probiotic Acidophilus by Foods Plus
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
Full disclosure
This capsule contains two active ingredients: lactase and Lactobacillus plantarum. Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down lactose (milk sugar), which helps people with lactose intolerance digest dairy products.
Lactobacillus plantarum is a beneficial bacterial strain often used in probiotic supplements. The capsule also includes several inactive ingredients—calcium sulfate, maltodextrin, cellulose, silicon dioxide, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, and a film coat—which are fillers and binders that hold the supplement together.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Lactase is effective for lactose intolerance when used as directed. For other potential uses listed on the label—prematurity and colic—the evidence isn't strong enough to rate, so we can't say whether it works for those.
No effectiveness data is on file for Lactobacillus plantarum in our database.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Lactase is generally well tolerated when used as directed. Rarely, someone exposed to powdered lactase (mainly in occupational settings) has reported allergic reactions including contact dermatitis and allergic rhinoconjunctivitis confirmed by allergy testing; if you have a known allergy to lactase, this product isn't for you.
For pregnancy and breastfeeding, the safety data rates lactase as likely safe. There isn't enough information on file about Lactobacillus plantarum's safety in pregnancy and breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant or nursing and want personalized guidance.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check. Lactobacillus plantarum wasn't evaluated in our database, so check with your pharmacist if you want to be thorough.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
If you have lactose intolerance, lactase is an evidence-based choice. The probiotic ingredient Lactobacillus plantarum may appeal to you if you're interested in gut bacteria support, though we don't hold effectiveness data for it.
Since one ingredient hasn't been fully assessed for interactions, ask your pharmacist to double-check it against your medications if you're on anything regular.
