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