Why is live probiotic Symprove different?

Symprove is different for the following reasons:

• It contains 4 varieties of live activated probiotic bacteria.
• Symprove is a next generation probiotic due to the way the 4 types of live activated probiotic bacteria are produced, delivered and get to work. The bacteria are grown on a pasteurised extract of germinated barley. This is carefully optimised to create the best possible environment for the naturally occurring bacteria. The germinated barley extract, which is gluten free, is then processed to produce the water-based probiotic drink Symprove.

This production process and delivery system (format) is unique to Symprove and as a result it is a patented process. This has 2 distinct and completely different advantages for you.

1. When you drink Symprove, its format or delivery system, gives the probiotic bacteria the best possible chance to reach your gut successfully, passing straight through the stomach, without triggering digestion.
2. The probiotic bacteria in Symprove start to multiply within 20 minutes of being swallowed - that’s fast. Other probiotics cannot do this.

These are some of the reasons why people choose to drink Symprove. They also know what Symprove specifically does for them.

What happens with other probiotics?

If you walk the dairy aisle of any supermarket, you’ll notice a large selection of probiotic yoghurts and drinks vying for attention. These contain a single strain of live probiotic bacteria. Symprove contains 4 times as many varieties of good bacteria providing an increased ability to maintain healthy digestive functions.

You’ll think we’re stating the obvious but remember dairy products trigger digestion in the stomach. This is a tough environment for delicate probiotic bacteria. They’ve still got some way to go in your digestive system, before reaching their desired destination, where they can begin to establish.

Sachets, capsules and tablets contain freeze-dried bacteria. The manufacturing process of freeze-drying, deactivates probiotic bacteria and can actually damage, or destroy many of these delicate friendly bacteria. If they survive this process, before they can do anything for you, they must absorb water – or rehydrate. Only once this rehydration has happened, do freeze dried bacteria have a chance to start to multiply. These steps all take place in the hostile environment of the stomach which is a lot to ask.

On top of this, these rehydrated probiotic bacteria now have to make the journey to the intestine, where they are needed. This entire process has taken several hours and many of these delicate bacteria or microorganisms are weakened or destroyed. Furthermore, the time taken for this process to happen may mean the bacteria have travelled beyond the point where they are needed.

As you can imagine, this is a difficult challenge for probiotic freeze-dried bacteria. We’ll leave you to decide whether a next generation probiotic will give your digestive system a better chance.
