HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Ultimate Flora Kids Probiotic Gummies 2 Billion by Renew Life

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 1 active ingredient.

This product contains 1 active ingredient: Bacillus coagulans, a live probiotic organism. The gummies also hold inactive ingredients — sugar, glucose, pineapple, wheat starch, gelatin, colors, invert sugar, sodium citrate, citric acid, natural flavors, coconut oil, and carnauba wax — to give the gummy its texture and taste.

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: supports digestive health and everyday optimal health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Constipation, Diarrhea, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Antibiotic-associated diarrhea — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Bacillus Coagulans is rated "Possibly Effective" for Constipation (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Bacillus Coagulans is rated "Possibly Effective" for Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
  • Also on file: Bacillus Coagulans is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Antibiotic-associated diarrhea, Diarrhea, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, and more.

Bacillus coagulans is possibly effective for constipation and for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). For antibiotic-associated diarrhea (diarrhea that happens after you take antibiotics), athletic performance, cancer, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, the evidence isn't strong enough yet to say whether it works.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Bacillus Coagulans

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.

Bacillus coagulans is generally well tolerated in healthy children, though the quality and evidence for probiotic products vary quite a bit. Because this contains live organisms, there is a theoretical concern that in some patients — especially those with weakened immune systems, central lines, or who are very ill — the organisms could cause infection.

The safety data for this ingredient is limited, so talk with your child's doctor or pharmacist before starting, particularly if your child has any immune concerns or indwelling medical devices. There isn't enough data on file to say how this ingredient affects pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Bacillus Coagulans

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 — Bacillus Coagulans.
  • 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.

If your child takes antibiotics, check with your pharmacist about timing — antibiotics can reduce how well this probiotic works. Use the medication checker on this page to screen any other drugs your child is on.

Antibiotic Drugs

Theoretically, taking antibiotics with Bacillus coagulans might decrease the effectiveness of B. coagulans.
B. coagulans 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 B. coagulans preparations by at least two hours.

Yes. Based on its ingredients, Ultimate Flora Kids Probiotic Gummies 2 Billion 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?
Ultimate Flora Kids Probiotic Gummies 2 Billion contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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 probiotic work if my child is on antibiotics?
Antibiotics kill the live organisms in this product, so they can make it less effective. Space out when you give the antibiotic and the probiotic — your pharmacist can tell you exactly how far apart to take them.
What is Bacillus coagulans?
It's a live probiotic bacterium — a 'good' microorganism that supports digestive health. This product contains 2 billion of these live cells.
Does this really help constipation or IBS?
Bacillus coagulans is possibly effective for both constipation and irritable bowel syndrome, based on the evidence we have. Results vary from child to child.
Are there any side effects I should watch for?
It's generally well tolerated in healthy kids. Because it contains live organisms, there's a small theoretical risk of infection in children with weakened immune systems or certain medical devices — talk to your doctor if your child has either of those situations.
Is this safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
We don't have enough safety data on this ingredient for pregnancy or breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or midwife before using it if you're pregnant or nursing.
