HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Yum-Yum Dophilus 1 Billion CFU Raspberry by Jarrow Formulas

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 5 active ingredients.
  • “Proprietary Probiotic Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (5 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product has 5 active ingredients: a proprietary blend of probiotic bacteria, plus inulin (a prebiotic fiber that feeds good bacteria), Bifidobacterium breve BR-03, Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-02, and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum Lp-01. The inactive ingredients are common tablet binders and fillers like xylitol, microcrystalline cellulose, and maltodextrin, along with natural raspberry flavoring.

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 microbiome balance.
  • We looked for evidence on: Antibiotic-associated diarrhea, Colic, Clostridioides difficile infection, Constipation, Diarrhea, Helicobacter pylori — 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 Helicobacter pylori, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
  • Also on file: Inulin is rated "Possibly Effective" for Constipation.

The live bacteria in this product are intended to support digestive and immune health, though evidence varies by condition. Lactobacillus acidophilus is possibly effective for irritable bowel syndrome, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, bacterial vaginosis, and Helicobacter pylori infection.

Lactiplantibacillus plantarum is possibly effective for eczema, high cholesterol, ulcerative colitis, and the common cold. Bifidobacterium breve has insufficient evidence for most conditions we have data on.

Inulin is possibly effective for obesity, constipation, and diabetes, but the evidence for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and iron deficiency anemia is too limited to rate.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Bifidobacterium Breve Lactobacillus Acidophilus Lactiplantibacillus Plantarum Inulin

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 4 of the 4 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 4 of 4.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 4 of 4.
  • 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, though you should be cautious if you're very ill, immunocompromised, or a critically ill infant — cases of bacterial infection from probiotics are rare but documented in those groups. Inulin commonly causes bloating, flatulence, constipation, diarrhea, and stomach cramps, especially at higher doses over 30 grams — gas and bloating are the most frequent complaints.

Rare but serious reactions (anaphylaxis) to foods high in inulin have been reported. The live bacteria can occasionally cause gastrointestinal side effects like bloating, flatulence, and abdominal pain, but these are uncommon.

Because safety data for some of these ingredients are limited, check with your doctor before starting this product.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Bifidobacterium Breve Lactobacillus Acidophilus Lactiplantibacillus Plantarum Inulin

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?
  • 4 of the 4 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Inulin, Bifidobacterium Breve, Lactiplantibacillus Plantarum.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 268 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 the search tool on this page, but the main types to watch for are antibiotics (Moderate — space them away from this supplement) and antidiabetes drugs (Minor — your blood sugar may need closer monitoring). If you're on antibiotics, take them at a different time of day from this product.

Check your own medication Run your meds through the checker above

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're looking to add probiotics and your digestion is generally healthy, this might be worth a try — talk to your pharmacist first if you take antibiotics regularly, medications for diabetes, or if you're facing a serious illness or a weakened immune system. Make sure to separate this supplement from antibiotic doses by several hours.

Yum-Yum Dophilus 1 Billion CFU Raspberry by Jarrow Formulas: Common Questions

Does Yum-Yum Dophilus 1 Billion CFU Raspberry by Jarrow Formulas interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Yum-Yum Dophilus 1 Billion CFU Raspberry has a known interaction with 268 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Yum-Yum Dophilus 1 Billion CFU Raspberry contains 5 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.
Will this probiotic help with IBS or digestive problems?
Lactobacillus acidophilus in this product is possibly effective for irritable bowel syndrome and antibiotic-associated diarrhea. The other bacteria and inulin may help, but the evidence is less clear. Talk to your doctor about whether this is a good fit for your specific situation.
Can I take this with my antibiotics?
No — take them several hours apart. Antibiotics kill the live bacteria in this product, so they won't work if you take them together. Plan to space them out by at least a few hours, or ask your pharmacist for a dosing schedule.
Does this product have any fillers?
Yes. Besides the active probiotic and prebiotic ingredients, it contains xylitol, microcrystalline cellulose, maltodextrin, stearic acid, silica, magnesium stearate, and other inactive ingredients that help hold the tablet together and add flavor.
Will inulin give me gas?
Very likely, especially if you're not used to it. Bloating and flatulence are the most common side effects of inulin, particularly at doses above 30 grams. Start with a smaller dose and increase gradually to let your gut adjust.
Is this safe during pregnancy?
Inulin is rated likely safe in pregnancy. We don't have pregnancy safety data on file for the specific bacterial strains in this product, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
What if I'm on a blood thinner or diabetes medication?
The inulin in this product carries a minor interaction with diabetes drugs and might theoretically raise the risk of low blood sugar — check with your doctor about monitoring. We have no documented interactions with blood thinners. Run your exact medications through the search tool on this page to be sure.
