HelloPharmacist Scorecard of UltraFlora Acute Care by Metagenics

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 Jul 11, 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 1 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • “Probiotic Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (20 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

UltraFlora Acute Care contains 3 active ingredients: Saccharomyces boulardii (a beneficial yeast), Bifidobacterium lactis HN019, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001 — all live probiotic organisms meant to support digestive health. The product also contains inactive ingredients like capsule materials, silica, and magnesium stearate.

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: Support immune health and relieve acute bowel distress.
  • We looked for evidence on: Antibiotic-associated diarrhea, Travelers' diarrhea, Clostridioides difficile infection, Acute diarrhea, Gut dysbiosis.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Saccharomyces Boulardii is rated "Possibly Effective" for Antibiotic-associated diarrhea (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Saccharomyces Boulardii is rated "Possibly Effective" for Travelers' diarrhea, Clostridioides difficile infection.

Saccharomyces boulardii in this product is rated possibly effective for several digestive conditions: rotaviral diarrhea, travelers' diarrhea, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, necrotizing enterocolitis (a serious intestinal condition in premature infants), Clostridioides difficile infection (a type of bacterial infection), and Helicobacter pylori (a stomach bacterium). We don't have effectiveness data on file for the other two probiotic strains in this product.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Saccharomyces Boulardii 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.

Saccharomyces boulardii is generally well tolerated in healthy adults but should be avoided by people who are critically ill or immunocompromised (those with weakened immune systems). Rarely, it has caused fungemia (yeast in the bloodstream), particularly in critically ill ICU patients with central lines, feeding tubes, or those on broad-spectrum antibiotics — most cases occurred when packets were opened or capsules broken.

Rarely, it may cause mild digestive complaints like cramps, gas, nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite. Overall safety data is limited, so speak with your doctor before use.

We have no pregnancy or breastfeeding safety data on file for any ingredient in this product.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Saccharomyces Boulardii Lactobacillus Acidophilus

Meds to double-check

Minor interactions only
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Minor only

Only Minor-severity interactions are documented for these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Saccharomyces Boulardii.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Minor.
  • For scale: 40 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 antifungal medications, double-check before using this product — they may reduce how well the Saccharomyces boulardii in it works. We could not check the other probiotic strains for interactions, so mention those to your pharmacist too.

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.

UltraFlora Acute Care by Metagenics: Common Questions

Does UltraFlora Acute Care by Metagenics interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, UltraFlora Acute Care has a known interaction with 222 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
UltraFlora Acute Care 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.
Is this safe if I'm on antibiotics?
Saccharomyces boulardii itself doesn't interact with antibiotics, and it's actually used to help prevent antibiotic-associated diarrhea. However, if you're very ill and in the ICU on broad-spectrum antibiotics, there's a rare risk — talk with your doctor first.
What is Saccharomyces boulardii?
It's a beneficial yeast, not a bacteria. It helps restore healthy gut organisms and is used to treat or prevent various types of diarrhea.
Can I take this if I'm immunocompromised?
No — this product should be avoided if your immune system is weakened. The safety data advises against it. Talk with your doctor about safer options.
Will this help my traveler's diarrhea?
Saccharomyces boulardii is rated possibly effective for traveler's diarrhea, so it may help. Results vary from person to person.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
We don't have safety data on file for any of these ingredients during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Please talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
What if I open the capsule?
If you're critically ill or have a central line, opening the capsule increases the rare risk of the yeast entering your bloodstream. Keep capsules intact unless advised otherwise by your doctor.
