HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Vidophilus 35 Billion by Vitabase

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 0 of its 10 active ingredients.
  • “Prebiotic Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (50 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “Proprietary Probiotic Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (525 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Vidophilus 35 Billion contains 10 active ingredients: four Bifidobacterium species (longum, lactis, bifidum), four Lactobacillus species (acidophilus, plantarum, rhamnosus, bulgaricus, and salivarius), plus a prebiotic blend of FOS and larch arabinogalactan. These are all live beneficial bacteria meant to support your gut health, along with food (the prebiotic fiber) to help them grow.

The capsule is made from cellulose, magnesium stearate, vegetable stearin, and silica—standard inactive ingredients.

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 health and gut balance support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Antibiotic-associated diarrhea, Bacterial vaginosis, Celiac disease, Clostridioides difficile infection, Constipation, Diarrhea — 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).

For most conditions listed, evidence is insufficient to say whether this product works. The Bifidobacterium bifidum and Lactobacillus acidophilus in this blend are rated possibly effective for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and Lactobacillus acidophilus is also possibly effective for antibiotic-associated diarrhea, H. pylori support, and bacterial vaginosis.

Bifidobacterium bifidum is rated possibly effective for respiratory tract infections. The data on the other ingredients or conditions is too limited for us to make a claim.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Larch Arabinogalactan Bifidobacterium Longum Bifidobacterium Bifidum Lactobacillus Acidophilus Lactobacillus Delbrueckii

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 5 of the 5 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 5 of 5.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 5 of 5.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

These probiotics are generally well tolerated in healthy people. That said, if you're seriously ill, hospitalized, have a weakened immune system, or are in critical condition, there's caution needed: rare cases of infection (bacteremia or sepsis) from these bacteria have been documented in very vulnerable patients.

Gastrointestinal side effects—bloating, flatulence, abdominal discomfort—have been reported rarely. Pregnancy and lactation data are limited; the Bifidobacterium longum is rated possibly safe, but for the other ingredients we either have no safety information or minimal data, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product while pregnant or breastfeeding.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Larch Arabinogalactan Bifidobacterium Longum Bifidobacterium Bifidum Lactobacillus Acidophilus Lactobacillus Delbrueckii

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?
  • 5 of the 5 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Larch Arabinogalactan, Bifidobacterium Bifidum, Bifidobacterium Longum, Lactobacillus Delbrueckii.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: immunosuppressants / transplant drugs.
  • For scale: 302 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 medications against these two types before taking this product: antibiotic drugs (Moderate severity—they can reduce how well the probiotics work; space them apart by a few hours), and immunosuppressant drugs like cyclosporine, tacrolimus, or mycophenolate (Moderate severity—the fiber may interfere with your medication's effect). Use the checker below for your exact 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.

If you have a healthy immune system and no serious illness, this probiotic blend is generally well tolerated. If you take antibiotics, separate them from this product by a few hours so the bacteria don't get killed off.

If you're on an immunosuppressant drug, check with your pharmacist first. And if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a weakened immune system, talk to your doctor before starting.

Vidophilus 35 Billion by Vitabase: Common Questions

Does Vidophilus 35 Billion by Vitabase interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Vidophilus 35 Billion has a known interaction with 302 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Vidophilus 35 Billion contains 10 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.
What does this probiotic do?
It contains live beneficial bacteria and a prebiotic fiber to support your gut health. Some of the bacteria—Bifidobacterium bifidum and Lactobacillus acidophilus—are rated possibly effective for irritable bowel syndrome and antibiotic-associated diarrhea. For other uses, the evidence is still limited.
Will this interfere with my antibiotics?
Not if you space them apart. The bacteria in this product can be killed if you take antibiotics at the same time, which would make the probiotic less effective. Just separate your antibiotic doses from this product by a few hours and you'll be fine.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
Bifidobacterium longum is rated possibly safe in pregnancy and lactation, but we don't have enough safety data for the other bacteria in this blend. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it during pregnancy or while breastfeeding—they can give you personalized advice.
What side effects might I notice?
The most common are gas and bloating, which happen rarely. Some people report abdominal discomfort or flatulence, especially when combining probiotics. These are usually mild and temporary.
Is this safe if I'm very sick or hospitalized?
If you're critically ill or severely immunocompromised, be cautious. Very rare cases of serious infection from these bacteria have occurred in vulnerable patients. Check with your doctor before using this product in those situations.
How many live bacteria does each capsule contain?
The product name says 35 billion, but the product facts we have don't break that down by individual species. For details on the exact dose of each strain, check the label or contact the manufacturer.
