Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Proviable and Proviable-Forte?
Proviable-DC capsules provide 5 billion CFU per capsule, while Proviable-Forte capsules are higher potency at 10 billion CFU per capsule. Both use the same seven-strain blend; Forte is often chosen for more intensive digestive support.
When should I use the Proviable KP paste kit?
The kit pairs the KP paste with capsules for episodes of acute diarrhea or loose stool. The kaolin-and-pectin paste helps firm stool quickly over the first 48-72 hours, while the capsules continue rebuilding gut flora afterward.
How is Proviable different from FortiFlora?
FortiFlora is a single-strain probiotic (Enterococcus faecium). Proviable is a multi-strain formula with seven bacterial strains plus a prebiotic, and this kit adds kaolin and pectin for stool support.
