HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Zelac Probiotic Support by Foxland Pharmaceuticals

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 2 active ingredients.

Zelac Probiotic Support contains 2 active ingredients: Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium animalis lactis — both live beneficial bacteria meant to support digestive and immune health. The capsule also contains inactive ingredients including gelatin, microcrystalline cellulose, maltodextrin, magnesium stearate, and silica.

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: Probiotic support for digestive health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Antibiotic-associated diarrhea, Bacterial vaginosis, Clostridioides difficile infection, Constipation, 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 Bacterial vaginosis, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
  • Also on file: Lactobacillus Acidophilus is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Constipation, Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Lactose intolerance, Rotaviral diarrhea.

For Lactobacillus acidophilus, the evidence suggests it is possibly effective for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Helicobacter pylori infection, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and bacterial vaginosis. The same ingredient appears possibly ineffective for atopic disease, and there is insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for acute respiratory distress syndrome.

We hold no effectiveness data for Bifidobacterium animalis lactis in our records.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient 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.

Lactobacillus acidophilus is generally well tolerated in healthy adults and children. Because these are live microorganisms, gastrointestinal side effects can occur orally — including abdominal discomfort, pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea, and vomiting — though these are uncommon.

In rare cases, the bacteria have been associated with serious infections in immunocompromised patients. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before use, especially if you have a weakened immune system.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Lactobacillus Acidophilus

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?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Lactobacillus Acidophilus.
  • 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.

Before taking Zelac Probiotic Support, check your antibiotic drugs with the medication search tool on this page — taking them together may reduce how well the probiotic works. We could not check Bifidobacterium animalis lactis against our medication database, so no interaction data exists for that ingredient.

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 product may help with certain digestive and bacterial conditions if the evidence pans out for you. If you take antibiotics, space them apart from this supplement so the drugs don't kill the live bacteria.

Talk to your pharmacist about your full medication list before starting, particularly if you're immunocompromised.

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.

Zelac Probiotic Support by Foxland Pharmaceuticals: Common Questions

Does Zelac Probiotic Support by Foxland Pharmaceuticals interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Zelac Probiotic Support 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?
Zelac Probiotic Support 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.
Can I take this with my antibiotics?
Not at the same time. Antibiotics can kill the live bacteria in this supplement, so it won't work as intended. Separate them by a few hours — your pharmacist can tell you the best timing for your specific antibiotic.
Is this safe if I have a weak immune system?
There's some concern. While rare, these live bacteria have caused serious infections in a small number of immunocompromised patients. Talk with your doctor before using this product if your immune system is compromised.
What side effects might I get?
Gastrointestinal upset — bloating, gas, stomach discomfort, or diarrhea — can happen, but it's uncommon. A rash with itching was reported in one trial, though it's unclear whether it came from this supplement or something else.
Does this actually help with IBS?
Lactobacillus acidophilus is possibly effective for IBS based on the evidence we have, meaning the data suggest it may help, but more research would strengthen that claim. Results vary from person to person.
What are these bacteria for?
They're meant to support your digestive and immune health by promoting a healthy gut environment. The research suggests they may be helpful for IBS, antibiotic-related diarrhea, and a few other conditions.
Is there anything in here besides the bacteria?
The active ingredients are the two bacteria. The capsule also contains gelatin, microcrystalline cellulose (a filler), maltodextrin, magnesium stearate, and silica — these are standard capsule ingredients.
