Nutramax Proviable Kit

The standard Proviable Kit packages a paste syringe with ten capsules, using the same seven-strain blend found across Nutramax's Proviable products (Enterococcus faecium, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus helveticus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus plantarum). Per the label, the capsules are "5 billion CFU's per capsule" and the paste is "0.5 billion CFUs per gram" — half the capsule potency of the Forte version of this same combination. The fact-pack doesn't state whether either CFU figure is guaranteed through the expiration date or only at manufacture. The paste includes fructooligosaccharide as a prebiotic plus kaolin and pectin as additional actives; the capsules list no prebiotic. Both components store at room temperature, below 77°F, away from sunlight.

No health claims are printed on this label — just strain names and CFU counts. Dosing follows the same short-course pattern as the Forte kit: the paste is given 2-3 times daily for 48-72 hours at a dose that varies by species and weight (cats get 1 mL; dogs range from 1-2 mL under 20 lbs up to 5 mL over 50 lbs), followed by one capsule a day until the ten are used up. Unlike the Forte kit, this version does have an Amazon listing (ASIN B001O477W0), and it's labeled for both cats and dogs rather than dogs only.

What's in it, strain by strain

Transcribed from the guaranteed analysis. "Species only" means this label prints no numbered strain, so study results for a named strain don't transfer.
