Vitakruid Symflora Original Pre- and Probiotics 8 strainsHigh-quality pre- and probiotics in user-friendly capsules
Do you find handling powder from sachets inconvenient? Now you can choose our probiotics in capsule form, where 3 capsules are equivalent to one sachet of Vitakruid's Symflora® Basis product.
With eight different probiotic strains
In our well-known – and broadly applicable – Symflora® formula, we combine no fewer than eight different bacterial strains. 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. No one becomes world champion with ten attackers, right?
Prebiotics
We have also added prebiotics to Symflora® Original, which are dietary fibers for the bacteria in our intestines. In food, we find prebiotics in vegetables, fruits, and grains. These indigestible dietary fibers stimulate the growth of bacterial strains. This also contributes to the bacteria having 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 number of living bacteria that ultimately reach your intestines. When passing through our gastrointestinal tract, bacterial strains are exposed to digestive juices such as stomach acid and bile. Some probiotics do not survive the acidity of the stomach, resulting in a low survival rate. Symflora®, however, 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 evidenced by research from Winclove probiotics in collaboration with Maastricht University. This means that the bacterial strains largely pass through the digestive system undamaged, and their activity remains intact. The probiotics thus 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 coined the term "kolonievormende eenheden per gram" (colony-forming units per gram). The viable count or colony-forming units per gram represent the number of probiotic colonies 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 are equivalent to 2 billion probiotic colonies.
With ProbioAct® technology
The ProBioact® technology guarantees the stability, survival, and metabolic activity of the probiotics. Bacteria are fragile. The technology contains nutrients specially selected to ensure that the probiotics survive the various digestive juices in the gastrointestinal tract and that they are shelf-stable at room temperature.
