HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Theralac by Master Supplements

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

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 0 of its 5 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Probiotic” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (133.31 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Theralac contains five active probiotic ingredients: two strains of Bifidobacterium (animalis lactis Bi-07 and animalis lactis), two strains of Lactobacillus (acidophilus and rhamnosus), and one strain of Lactobacillus paracasei. These are live beneficial bacteria meant to support digestive and immune health.

The product also contains several inactive ingredients — microcrystalline cellulose, sodium alginate, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, trisodium phosphate, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, calcium silicate, ascorbic acid, and LactoStim — which serve as fillers, binders, and stabilizers.

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: digestive support and probiotic balance.
  • We looked for evidence on: Antibiotic-associated diarrhea, Bacterial vaginosis, Clostridioides difficile infection, Constipation, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Lactose intolerance — 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, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
  • Also on file: Lactobacillus Acidophilus is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Constipation, Radiation-induced diarrhea, Lactose intolerance, Rotaviral diarrhea.

Lactobacillus acidophilus, the one ingredient we can assess, is rated possibly effective for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Helicobacter pylori infection, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and bacterial vaginosis. It's rated possibly ineffective for atopic disease, and the evidence is insufficient to rate it for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

We don't hold effectiveness data for the other four probiotic strains in this product.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient 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 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.

Lactobacillus acidophilus is generally well tolerated in healthy adults and children, though the data are limited so check with your doctor before use. Some people may experience mild gastrointestinal side effects — abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence, diarrhea, or burping — but these are uncommon.

Because these are live bacteria, there's a theoretical concern they could cause infection in people with certain conditions, though this is rare; most documented cases have occurred in people with underlying health issues. We don't have pregnancy or breastfeeding safety information on file for any of these ingredients, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant or nursing.

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 1 matched ingredient 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.

Antibiotic drugs are the main medication type to watch: taking them at the same time as Theralac may reduce how well the probiotic works. Separate the two by timing them apart.

We couldn't check the other four probiotic strains in this product for interactions, so if you take any medications, use the interaction checker on this page with your specific drugs.

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.

Theralac is a probiotic blend best considered if you're looking to support digestive health or manage conditions like IBS or antibiotic-associated diarrhea. If you're taking antibiotics, space out when you take this supplement — don't take them at the same time.

Check with your pharmacist or doctor before starting, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or take other medications.

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.
