HelloPharmacist Scorecard of UltraBiotic Max 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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Sep 24, 2026

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 gives one combined amount (225,000,000,000 CFU) without saying how much of each component you get.

UltraBiotic Max contains 6 active ingredients: four species of live Lactobacillus bacteria (acidophilus, plantarum, salivarius, and casei), plus two Bifidobacterium species (animalis lactis and bifidum). These are all probiotics — friendly bacteria meant to support your gut health.

The product also contains two inactive ingredients: larch arabinogalactan and silicon dioxide (a flow agent).

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: promotes healthy intestinal microbial balance.
  • We looked for evidence on: Antibiotic-associated diarrhea, Bacterial vaginosis, Clostridioides difficile infection, Colic, Constipation, Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) — 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: Bifidobacterium Bifidum is rated "Possibly Effective" for Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

The two probiotics we have evidence for show promise in a few areas. Lactobacillus acidophilus is possibly effective for irritable bowel syndrome, Helicobacter pylori infection, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and bacterial vaginosis, though the evidence isn't ironclad.

Bifidobacterium bifidum is possibly effective for irritable bowel syndrome and respiratory tract infections. For other conditions listed — allergies, Alzheimer disease, anxiety — the evidence is too thin to know either way.

The other strains in this blend don't have effectiveness data on file with us.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lactobacillus Acidophilus Bifidobacterium Bifidum

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. That said, probiotics contain live organisms, so there's a theoretical risk of infection if your immune system is severely weakened — check with your doctor before taking this product.

Gastrointestinal side effects like bloating, flatulence, abdominal discomfort, and diarrhea can happen but are uncommon. Rare cases of serious infection (bacteremia, sepsis, abscess) have been tied to these organisms, usually in people with pre-existing health conditions or compromised immunity.

Skin rash and itching were reported once in a clinical trial but weren't clearly linked to any single ingredient.

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.

Check your antibiotic medications before taking this product — the live organisms here can be damaged if antibiotics are taken at the same time. Ask your doctor or pharmacist when to take each one so they don't interfere.

We couldn't check three of the probiotic strains in the blend, so run your full medication list through the checker on this page to be thorough.

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.

This probiotic blend may help with gut health and certain digestive issues, though the evidence is mixed. If you're on antibiotics, timing matters — separate the doses from your probiotic so the antibiotic doesn't kill off the beneficial bacteria.

If your immune system is compromised, or if you have a serious underlying illness, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before starting, because probiotics carry a small infection risk in those situations.

Lactobacillus acidophilus1 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.

UltraBiotic Max by HoltraCeuticals: Common Questions

Does UltraBiotic Max by HoltraCeuticals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, UltraBiotic Max 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 Max 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 probiotics, which defeats the purpose. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about spacing them apart — they'll tell you how many hours or days to leave between doses.
Will this help with my IBS?
Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum are both possibly effective for IBS, which means some evidence supports it but it's not a sure thing. It's worth trying under your doctor's guidance, but results vary person to person.
Are there any side effects I should know about?
Most people tolerate it well, but some experience mild gastrointestinal symptoms like bloating, gas, or abdominal discomfort — these are usually temporary. Serious infections are extremely rare and mostly happen in people with very weak immune systems.
Is it safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Both Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum are rated possibly safe in pregnancy. We don't have lactation safety data on file for either one, so talk to your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's appropriate for you while breastfeeding.
What about the other bacteria strains in here — are they safe?
We don't have interaction or safety data on file for Bifidobacterium animalis lactis, Lactobacillus plantarum, or Lactobacillus casei. That doesn't mean they're unsafe — just that we haven't reviewed them. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have concerns about those strains specifically.
