No documented interaction was identified between probiotics and St. John's Wort in the sources reviewed.
See the full Probiotics page and St. John's Wort page for other reviewed interactions and reference information.
What the interaction means
NCCIH's St. John's Wort page names several drugs it can weaken (antidepressants, birth control, cyclosporine, anticonvulsants, heart medications, HIV drugs, cancer medications, warfarin, certain statins) -- probiotics are not among them. NCCIH's probiotics page's only medication-related discussion anywhere is research on reducing antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and does not mention St. John's Wort.
No documented interaction between Probiotics and St. John's Wort 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
NCCIH's St. John's Wort page and NCCIH's probiotics page were checked directly, full text, in both directions. Neither source names the other.
