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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

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
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 Lactase's overall clinical evidence instead.

Strong

Strong clinical evidence supports Lactase 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 ingredient's overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Lactose intolerance — rated "Effective" (Natural Medicines).

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.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lactase

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 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

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.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Lactase

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 1 matched ingredient has a documented medication interaction on file.

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.

Super Probiotic Acidophilus by Foods Plus: Common Questions

Does Super Probiotic Acidophilus by Foods Plus interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Super Probiotic Acidophilus. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Super Probiotic Acidophilus contains 2 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.
Is lactase the same as a probiotic?
No. Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down milk sugar so you can digest dairy; it's not a live bacteria. Lactobacillus plantarum is the probiotic—a beneficial bacterial strain—in this product. You're getting both in one capsule.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
Lactase is rated as likely safe during pregnancy. Lactobacillus plantarum doesn't have enough safety data on file for pregnancy, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you during that time.
What side effects should I watch for?
Lactase is generally well tolerated. Very rarely, someone can have an allergic reaction to lactase itself—if you develop rash, itching, or breathing trouble after taking it, stop and call your doctor. We don't have adverse-effect data for Lactobacillus plantarum on file.
Does this actually work for lactose intolerance?
Yes, lactase is effective for lactose intolerance when used as directed. It won't cure intolerance, but it helps you digest lactose in the meal or snack you take it with.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
Lactase is likely safe during breastfeeding. We don't have safety data on file for Lactobacillus plantarum during breastfeeding, so check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
