HelloPharmacist Scorecard of UltraBiotic 100 by HoltraCeuticals

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 6 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

UltraBiotic 100 is a 6-ingredient probiotic blend in a vegetable capsule. The active ingredients are live bacterial strains: Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium lactis, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus.

These are meant to support your gut flora. The capsule also contains inactive ingredients—microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide, and magnesium stearate—which are standard fillers and binders.

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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some 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: 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).
  • On file: Respiratory tract infections — rated "Possibly Effective" (Bifidobacterium Bifidum) (Natural Medicines).

The Lactobacillus acidophilus in this product is rated possibly effective for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Helicobacter pylori infection, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and bacterial vaginosis. Bifidobacterium bifidum is also possibly effective for IBS and respiratory tract infections.

For other conditions—such as hay fever, Alzheimer disease, and anxiety—the evidence we hold is insufficient to rate. The other strains in the blend have no effectiveness ratings in our data.

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 Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum are generally well tolerated in healthy adults and children. Because these contain live organisms, there is a small theoretical risk of infection in people with severely weakened immune systems; check with your doctor before use if that applies to you.

Uncommon gastrointestinal side effects—such as abdominal discomfort, bloating, flatulence, and diarrhea—have been reported. In one trial, a rash and itching appeared, though it's unclear whether the probiotics caused it.

For pregnancy, both strains are rated possibly safe; for breastfeeding, no safety data are on file. Talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.

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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Bifidobacterium Bifidum.
  • 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 you take antibiotic drugs, check with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this product. The live bacteria in UltraBiotic 100 may be killed by antibiotics taken at the same time, reducing the supplement's effectiveness.

You may need to separate doses by several hours.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

UltraBiotic 100 is a multi-strain probiotic that may help with IBS, infectious diarrhea, and some other conditions—though evidence is modest and strain-specific. If you take antibiotics, you'll need to space them apart from this supplement.

People with healthy immune systems generally tolerate it well, but those with severely compromised immunity should check with their doctor first. Run your exact medications through the interaction checker before you start.

Lactobacillus acidophilus (La-14)1 drug type · 182 drugs

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.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D

Bifidobacterium bifidum (Bb-02)1 drug type · 182 drugs

Antibiotic Drugs

Theoretically, taking Bifidobacterium. bifidum with antibiotic drugs might decrease the effectiveness of B. bifidum.
Since B. bifidum preparations usually contain live and active organisms, simultaneously taking antibiotics might kill a significant number of the organisms. Tell patients to separate administration of antibiotics and B. bifidum preparations by at least 2 hours.

Does UltraBiotic 100 by HoltraCeuticals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, UltraBiotic 100 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?
UltraBiotic 100 contains 6 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.
Can I take this probiotic while I'm on antibiotics?
Not at the same time. Antibiotics kill the live bacteria in this supplement, which defeats the purpose. Your doctor or pharmacist can advise you on how far apart to space them—often at least a few hours.
Is this safe if I have a weakened immune system?
People with healthy immune systems generally tolerate it well, but if your immune system is severely compromised, you should talk with your doctor first before starting. There is a small theoretical risk of infection from live organisms.
Will this help my IBS?
Both Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum in this product are rated possibly effective for IBS. That means some evidence supports it, but results aren't guaranteed. Your own response may vary.
What are the inactive ingredients?
The capsule is made from vegetable material, and the blend contains microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide, and magnesium stearate—standard fillers and binders. There are no other major additives.
Is it safe to take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Both Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum are rated possibly safe in pregnancy. For breastfeeding, the safety data on file is incomplete. Talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, especially if you're pregnant or nursing.
What side effects can probiotics cause?
Most people don't experience them, but some report mild gastrointestinal discomfort—bloating, gas, loose stools, or mild pain. In rare cases, a rash or itching has appeared, though it's unclear if the probiotics caused it. Start with a lower dose if your stomach is sensitive.
