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 contains 5 ingredients: a proprietary probiotic blend of four live bacterial strains (Bifidobacterium breve, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium lactis, and Lactobacillus plantarum), plus inulin — a prebiotic fiber that feeds beneficial bacteria in your gut. The probiotics are meant to support digestive and immune health; inulin is included to help them thrive.

The rest are inactive ingredients like xylitol (sweetener), cellulose (binder), and natural 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 immune support for children.
  • We looked for evidence on: Antibiotic-associated diarrhea, Colic, Constipation, Clostridioides difficile infection, Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) — 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 Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
  • Also on file: Inulin is rated "Possibly Effective" for Constipation.

The probiotics here show promise for a few digestive and gut-health issues. Lactobacillus acidophilus is possibly effective for irritable bowel syndrome, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, bacterial vaginosis, and Helicobacter pylori infection.

Inulin is possibly effective for constipation, obesity, and diabetes. But evidence is still emerging — there are several conditions where the data just isn't there yet (allergic rhinitis, atopic disease, and others), so talk with your doctor about whether this product is the right fit for what you're trying to address.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Bifidobacterium Breve Lactobacillus Acidophilus 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 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Both the probiotics and inulin are generally well tolerated in healthy adults. The most common side effect is gas, bloating, and digestive cramping — especially when you first start taking it or if you take a higher dose.

Inulin in particular tends to cause bloating and flatulence at doses over 30 grams. If you're very ill, immunocompromised, or in the hospital, check with your doctor before using probiotics, since rare cases of bacterial infection have been reported in those populations.

There isn't enough safety data on these ingredients in pregnancy and breastfeeding to say whether they're safe, so talk with your doctor if you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to be.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Bifidobacterium Breve Lactobacillus Acidophilus 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?
  • 3 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Inulin, Bifidobacterium Breve.
  • 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 with your pharmacist before taking this product if you're on antibiotics — separate them by several hours so the antibiotics don't kill the live probiotics. If you take antidiabetes drugs, mention this to your doctor, since inulin may theoretically lower your blood sugar.

Altogether, these interactions span 267 individual medications.

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.

Yum-Yum Dophilus is a sensible choice if you're looking for a multi-strain probiotic with some prebiotic support and your digestive system needs a boost. If you're on antibiotics, space this product at least a few hours away from your dose.

If you take diabetes medication or are pregnant or nursing, run this by your pharmacist first.

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 work if I'm taking antibiotics?
The live bacteria in this product can be killed by antibiotics, so it won't be very effective if you take them at the same time. Space your antibiotic dose and this probiotic several hours apart — your pharmacist can tell you the best timing.
What's the difference between the probiotics and inulin in here?
The four probiotic strains are live bacteria meant to colonize your gut and support digestion. Inulin is a fiber that feeds those bacteria so they can thrive — think of it as food for the probiotics.
Is this okay if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
We don't have enough safety data for these specific ingredients during pregnancy or nursing. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting this product if you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to be — they can give you personalized advice.
What are the most common side effects?
Gas, bloating, and digestive cramping are the most common complaints, especially when you first start or take a higher dose. These usually settle down after a few days as your gut adjusts.
Can I take this if I'm on diabetes medication?
Mention this product to your doctor first. Inulin in it might theoretically lower your blood sugar, so your doctor may want to monitor you or adjust your diabetes medication.
Is this safe if I'm very ill or in the hospital?
Probiotics carry a small risk in people who are severely ill or immunocompromised, so check with your doctor or hospital team before taking this if you're in that situation.
