HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Super Probiotic With 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

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 1 of its 2 active ingredients.

This supplement contains two active ingredients. Lactase is an enzyme that helps break down lactose (milk sugar) in your digestive tract—it's used mainly for lactose intolerance.

Lactobacillus acidophilus is a live probiotic bacterium that naturally lives in your gut and may support digestive and immune health. The product also contains inactive ingredients including maltodextrin, calcium sulfate, hypromellose, silicon dioxide, stearic acid, and magnesium stearate, which are fillers and binders that help form and stabilize the capsule.

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 its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Strong

Strong 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: Lactose intolerance — rated "Effective" (Lactase) (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).
  • On file: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) — rated "Possibly Effective" (Lactobacillus Acidophilus) (Natural Medicines).

Lactase is effective for lactose intolerance—that's well established. For other uses like prematurity and colic, there isn't enough reliable evidence yet to say whether it works.

Lactobacillus acidophilus is possibly effective for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Helicobacter pylori infection, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and bacterial vaginosis. For atopic disease (allergic and immune conditions), the evidence leans toward it being possibly ineffective.

For acute respiratory distress syndrome, we don't have enough data to rate it.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lactase 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.

Both ingredients are generally well tolerated in healthy adults and children when used as directed. Lactase is likely safe in pregnancy and lactation, though checking with your doctor before regular use during pregnancy is sensible given limited data.

Rare adverse effects have been reported: lactase can cause contact dermatitis or allergic reactions in people exposed to powdered forms (mainly occupational exposure). Lactobacillus acidophilus may cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort—abdominal pain, gas, bloating, or diarrhea—though these are uncommon.

In very rare cases, the live bacteria have been isolated in serious infections like bloodstream infections or endocarditis, but these occurred in patients with underlying conditions that allowed bacteria to move out of the gut; they're not expected in healthy people.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Lactase 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?
  • 1 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Lactobacillus Acidophilus.
  • 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.

The main medication type to check is antibiotics. Taking them at the same time as this probiotic may reduce how well the probiotic works—spacing doses a few hours apart helps.

No other drug interactions are documented for the ingredients we could check.

The bottom line

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

This is a reasonable choice if you have lactose intolerance or want to try a probiotic for digestive issues like IBS or antibiotic-associated diarrhea. If you're on antibiotics, separate the doses—take one in the morning and one at night to protect the probiotic's effectiveness.

Check with your pharmacist about your specific medications before starting, especially if you take blood thinners or have a compromised immune system.

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.

Super Probiotic With Acidophilus by Foods Plus: Common Questions

Does Super Probiotic With Acidophilus by Foods Plus interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Super Probiotic With Acidophilus 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?
Super Probiotic With 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.
Will this help with my lactose intolerance?
Yes—lactase is effective for that. It's the enzyme your body uses to digest lactose in dairy, so taking it when you eat milk products should help reduce symptoms like bloating and gas.
Can I take this if I'm on antibiotics?
Yes, but timing matters. Since antibiotics can kill the live bacteria in the probiotic, space them out—take your antibiotic at one time of day and the probiotic at another, a few hours apart.
Is Lactobacillus acidophilus safe in pregnancy?
We don't have specific pregnancy or breastfeeding data on file for Lactobacillus acidophilus in this product. Since you're considering it during pregnancy, talk with your doctor or pharmacist first—they can weigh the evidence with your personal health picture.
What side effects might I notice?
Most people tolerate it well. A small number of people report mild digestive symptoms like gas, bloating, or abdominal discomfort, especially when first starting. Allergic reactions like rash or itching are rare.
Is this good for IBS or traveler's diarrhea?
Lactobacillus acidophilus is possibly effective for IBS and antibiotic-associated diarrhea. We don't have specific data on traveler's diarrhea, so ask your doctor whether it might help in your situation.
