2026 Product Updates & Upcoming Changes

Table of Contents

    We’re making several updates to our product lineup to better support clinical workflows, inventory planning, and long-term patient care. This page provides real-time updates, clear dates, and guidance on what actions you can take now and in the future.


    What’s Changing and When

    Effective December 26, 2025 at 12:00 AM PT, we will discontinue the following products, and customers will no longer be able to purchase them:

    • GI Relief Kits
    • Skin & Coat Relief Kits
    • Skin & Coat Relief Supplement Capsules

    Effective December 26, 2025 at 12:00 AM PT, we will continue selling the following products under new names, without changing their formulas:

    • GI Relief Supplement Capsules → Gut Maintain
    • Gut Recovery FMT Capsules → Gut Restore FMT Capsules


    What to Use Instead

    To ensure continuity of care, follow these recommendations:

    • For GI cases, Gut Maintain in place of GI Relief Capsules
      • Gut Maintain has the exact same formula as GI Relief
      • We now offer a medium capsule size for more precise dosing
    • For Skin cases, Skin Rescue in place of Skin & Coat Relief Capsules
      • Skin Rescue is the new and improved formulation to support the same clinical needs
    • To replace Relief Kits, build your own Relief Kits by dispensing from the 250 ct bulk options
      • Stock the 250 ct bottles of Gut Restore, Gut Maintain, and Skin Rescue
      • Dispense a 15-day supply per patient as needed

    Benefits of Stocking the 250 count bottles

    • Save inventory space
    • Reduce cost per capsule
    • Gain great dosing flexibility

    These products are designed to support similar clinical needs, and are the preferred options moving forward.


    New clinical use chart coming soon.


    Rebranded Products (Same Formula, New Look)

    Beginning January 1, 2026, select products will roll out with updated branding. In general, you can expect veterinary-exclusive products to feature ABV branding while non–vet-exclusive products will feature AB branding.

    There are no changes to formulation, dosing, or intended use.

    Products Changing to AB Branding

    Products Changing to New ABV Branding

    Note: All Bulk 250 ct bottles for Gut Restore, Gut Maintain, Gut Rebuild, and Skin Rescue will have the new ABV branding.


    What’s the difference between AB and ABV branding?

    In short: AB = consumer-facing, ABV = veterinary-facing.

    ABV branding indicates products intended for veterinary professionals and in-clinic dispensing.
