Can You Take Iron and Probiotics Together?
No documented interaction was identified between iron and probiotics in the sources reviewed.
See the full Iron page and Probiotics page for other reviewed interactions and reference information.
What the interaction means
Iron's NIH ODS fact sheet names levodopa, levothyroxine, lansoprazole/omeprazole, and calcium as its documented drug interactions -- probiotics are not among them. NCCIH's probiotics page's only medication-related discussion anywhere is research on reducing antibiotic-associated diarrhea, with no genuine prose mention of iron.
No documented interaction between Iron and Probiotics was identified in the authoritative sources reviewed. This is not a guarantee that no interaction exists for every dose, formulation, or individual -- it means the sources checked did not document one.
Practical context
Iron's NIH ODS fact sheet and NCCIH's probiotics page were checked directly, full text, in both directions. Iron is not an antibiotic, so probiotics' one documented medication-related finding does not apply here.
