Vitakruid Symflora Original Pre- and Probiotics 8 strainsEight probiotic strains, supplemented with prebiotics for optimal survival and metabolic activity.
Probiotics are good bacteria that naturally occur in our intestines. In the product, they exist only in an inactive state to ensure their shelf life. When the single-celled organisms come into contact with water, they become active again and can help maintain the microbial balance in our intestines.
Pre- and probiotics
In addition to probiotics, there are also prebiotics. These are indigestible dietary fibers that serve as food for the probiotics. This increases the number of active bacteria, makes them stronger, and improves their chances of survival in our digestive system. Vitakruid has ensured that prebiotics are already included in Symflora® Original for optimal probiotic function!
Multiple strains
There are countless bacterial strains that can affect the gut flora. But which ones should you select for a good probiotic? Research shows that a probiotic with multiple strains is more effective than a probiotic with only one strain (Hechard et al., 1990). With this knowledge in mind, Vitakruid has chosen a formula with no less than eight strains for Symflora® Original!
Stability
Vitakruid has chosen to package Symflora® Original in sachets. This packaging choice has several advantages over other packaging methods. For example, the product in a sachet remains optimally protected against moisture, light, and air.
Survival
Crucial for the value of a probiotic is the survival rate of the bacterial strains after passing through our digestive system. Research by Winclove probiotics in collaboration with Maastricht University shows that the (cfu/g)* in Symflora® remains relatively stable after passing through our digestion.
Metabolic activity
The same research also showed that the (cfu/g)* in Symflora® ensures a lot of metabolic activity. In short, metabolic activity refers to the activity level that bacterial strains reach within our digestive system without being damaged.
Passing the survival and metabolic activity tests are relevant indicators for selecting a good probiotic. Often the impression is given that the number of colony-forming units (cfu/g)* is leading. The more (cfu/g)*, the better the product. However, this is a misconception. Because what is the point of a large amount of (cfu/g)* if all the bacteria die in our stomach acid without reaching the relevant destination, the intestines.
Vitakruid always wants to go one step further in promoting health. Symflora® Original has become a product that underlines this vision. A total probiotic formula that excels in terms of quality and price.
*Cfu/g The abbreviation (kve/g) comes from the English abbreviation (cfu/g), which means colony-forming units per gram. In Dutch, we have coined the term, colony-forming units per gram. The colony count or colony-forming units per gram represent the number of probiotic colonies present in one gram of the product. One gram of Symflora® Original contains 109 (cfu/g), so one sachet of 2 grams contains two times 109 (cfu/g).
