For nearly three decades, Klaire Labs has recognized the importance of probiotics and enzymes in promoting gastrointestinal health and has provided a broad selection of these products to healthcare professionals. Probiotics are known to inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria, support the immune system, and assist optimal intestinal function. Enzymes are needed for complete breakdown of food and release of nutrients for absorption. Klaire’s comprehensive line of gastrointestinal support products combined with a dedication to raw material purity make Klaire Labs an excellent fit with ProThera’s existing philosophy.

As a division of ProThera, Klaire Labs' products will continue to be developed through ProThera’s in-house expertise and association with leading clinicians and researchers. We are already expanding the product line and have recently added Vital-Zymes™ Complete, CulturAid™ Yogurt and several SCD™ compliant probiotics. Current Klaire customers will benefit from ProThera’s commitment to customer service and rigid manufacturing standards, while existing ProThera customers now have access to Klaire Labs products for direct purchase or private-labeling.
