Ayush Herbs Probiotic 30B

Our assessment

The evidence shows that Ayush Herbs Probiotic 30B is a product whose primary active ingredient, based on the data provided, is not listed. However, the data we have on the ingredient Calcium, which is sometimes included in probiotic formulations, offers important context. For a general probiotic supplement, the most critical factors are the specific strains and their colony-forming units (CFUs), which are not provided. Our assessment is that without specific strain data, a general recommendation cannot be made, but we can share what the data tells us about a common associated mineral, Calcium.

How it works

Think of Calcium as a master regulator for your bones and muscles. It supports bone mineralization, meaning it helps deposit minerals into your skeleton to maintain density and strength. Additionally, it plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].

Safety profile

The FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements. For Calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Very high blood levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Data not available for side effects specific to Ayush Herbs Probiotic 30B.

Our recommendation

We recommend you look for a probiotic that lists specific bacterial strains (e.g., Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium) and a CFU count on the label. If you are taking a supplement that contains Calcium, be aware that it can reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline and fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Always take Calcium supplements at a different time than these medications. For the most reliable advice, consult a healthcare professional who can review the full product label.

Supplement labels contain several key sections regulated by the FDA:

• Serving Size — The recommended amount per dose. Always check this — some products require multiple capsules per serving.
• Amount Per Serving — Shows the quantity of each nutrient in the product, typically in IU (International Units), mg (milligrams), or mcg (micrograms).
• % Daily Value (%DV) — Indicates how much a nutrient in a serving contributes to a daily diet. 5% DV or less is low; 20% DV or more is high.
• Other Ingredients — Lists inactive ingredients like fillers, binders, and capsule materials (e.g., gelatin, cellulose, magnesium stearate).
• Suggested Use — The manufacturer's recommended directions for taking the supplement, including timing and dosage.
