Nutramax Proviable-DC
Proviable-DC is best-in-class for post-antibiotic recovery when a multi-strain probiotic plus prebiotic support is desired, offering a more comprehensive microbial spectrum and clinician-focused dosing options than single-strain powders. While generally higher priced than FortiFlora, its technical advantage is the diversity of strains and formulation designed for short-course restoration and continued repopulation of the gut after antibiotic disruption.

Adored Beast Gut Soothe
Adored Beast Gut Soothe occupies a niche role by focusing on mucosal repair and symptomatic calming of the gut with ingredients like gal-glutamine and demulcents, which complements rather than replaces probiotic repopulation after antibiotics. It is technically valuable when lining repair is a priority, offering a botanical/repair-focused approach that can be paired with the probiotic-centric products on this list, although it is less about CFU potency and more about soothing and healing.
