Vitakruid Symflora Original Pre- and Probiotics 8 strains Eight probiotic strains, supplemented with prebiotics for optimal survival and metabolic activity.
Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that naturally occur in our intestines. In the product, they exist only in an inactive state to ensure their shelf life. When these 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, strengthens them, and gives them a better chance of survival within our digestive system. Vitakruid has ensured that prebiotics are already included in Symflora® Basic for optimal probiotic effectiveness!
Multiple tribes
Numerous bacterial strains can affect gut flora. But which one should you choose for a good probiotic? Research shows that a multi-strain probiotic is more effective than one with just one strain (Hechard et al., 1990). With this knowledge in mind, Vitakruid has chosen a formula with no fewer than eight strains for Symflora® Basic!
Stability
Vitakruid has chosen to package Symflora® Basis in sachets. This packaging choice offers several advantages over other packaging methods. The sachet ensures optimal protection of the product against moisture, light, and air.
Survival
Crucial to 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 digestive system.
Metabolic activity
The same study also showed that the (cfu/g)* in Symflora® ensures high metabolic activity. In short, metabolic activity refers to the level of activity that bacterial strains achieve within our digestive system without causing damage.
Passing the survival and metabolic activity tests are relevant indicators for selecting a good probiotic. The impression is often given that the number of colony-forming units (CFU/g)* is decisive. The more (CFU/g)*, the better the product. However, this is a misconception. After all, what's the point of a large amount (CFU/g)* if the bacteria all die in our stomach acid without reaching their destination, the intestines?
Vitakruid always strives to go the extra mile in promoting health. Symflora® Basis has become a product that underscores this vision. A complete probiotic formula that excels in both quality and price.
*CFU/g The abbreviation (CFU/g) comes from the English abbreviation (CFU/g), which means colony-forming units per gram. In Dutch, we have adopted the term "colony-forming units per gram." The germ count or colony-forming units per gram represents the number of probiotic colonies present in one gram of the product. One gram of Symflora® Basis contains 109 (CFU/g), so one 2-gram sachet contains two 109 (CFU/g) sachets.
