Vitakruid Symflora® Original Pre- & Probiotics

High-quality pre- and probiotics in easy-to-use capsules
Do you find fiddling with powder from sachets inconvenient? Then you can now opt for our probiotics in capsule form where 3 capsules are equivalent to one sachet of the product Symflora® Basic from Vitakruid.

With eight different probiotic strains
We combine no fewer than eight different bacterial strains in our well-known – and widely applicable – Symflora® formula. Scientific research shows that this combination of different bacterial strains is more effective than a single strain. Compare it to a football team where players with different qualities help and complement each other. With ten attackers no one becomes world champion, right?

Prebiotics
We have also added prebiotics to Symflora® Original, the dietary fiber for the bacteria in our intestines. In food we find prebiotics in vegetables, fruit and grains. These indigestible dietary fibers stimulate the growth of bacterial strains. Partly because of this, the bacteria have a higher survival and metabolic activity in our body.

High survival rate in the digestive system
The quality of a probiotic is determined, among other things, by the amount of living bacteria that ultimately end up in your intestines. When passing through our gastrointestinal tract, the bacterial strains are exposed to digestive juices such as stomach acid and bile. Some probiotics do not survive the acidity of the stomach, giving them a low survival rate. Symflora®, on the other hand, has a high survival rate.

Probiotic activity is more important than the number of colonies
The colony-forming units per gram (cfu/g) in Symflora® remain relatively stable after passing through the gastrointestinal tract. This is evident from a study by Winclove probiotics in collaboration with the University of Maastricht. This means that the bacterial strains pass through the digestive system largely undamaged and their activity appears intact. The probiotics therefore have a high survival rate and metabolic activity.

The survival rate and metabolic activity are therefore relevant indicators for selecting good probiotics. It is often claimed that the number (cfu/g) is important for a high-quality probiotic, but this is not entirely true. It is much more important that bacteria actually survive our stomach acid and reach the intestines.

The abbreviation (cfu/g) comes from the English abbreviation (cfu/g), which means colony forming units per gram. In Dutch we have changed this to the concept of colony-forming units per gram. The bacterial count or colony forming units per gram represent the number of colonies of probiotics present in one gram of the product. One capsule of Symflora® Original contains 6.7 x 108 (cfu/g), which amounts to 670 million colony-forming units. Three capsules equal 2 billion colonies of probiotics.

With ProbioAct® technology
The ProBioact® technology guarantees the stability, survival and metabolic activity of the probiotics. Bacteria are vulnerable. The technology contains nutrients that have been specially selected to ensure that the probiotics survive the various digestive juices in the gastrointestinal tract and that they can be stored at room temperature.
