We were obsessed with the gut microbiome and the power of live and active bacteria long before itwas trendy. Our long commitment to an evidence-based approach can be seen in our research programme of independent clinical trials with leading universities including UCL and King's College London.
The UK’s no.1 live and active water-based bacteria food supplement
Developed by scientists, Symprove’s patented water-based solution is designed to deliver over 10 billion colony forming units per shot.
Backed by over 15 years of independent research
One powerful solution...
Unlike freeze-dried bacteria, the friendly bacteria in Symprove's water-based solution are alive when you consume them and ready to get to work straightaway.
Alive
Symprove's bacteria are alive when they enter the body
Survive
They can survive when they pass through the stomach
Thrive
They can reach the lower gut and thrive there!
Our ingredients
Live bacteria
Symprove contains four species that occur naturally in your gut. We selected Lactobacillus for its resistance to acid, and all of them for the way they work in synergy and encourage each other to grow.
Germinated barley extract
This clever grain works as a catalyst for fermentation. It helps to speed up the growth of the live bacteria, and keep the numbers steady for Symprove's shelf-life. (We source a gluten free barley, ensuring Symprove meets EU regulations).
Water
Friendly bacteria love living in water! So water, coupled with the way you take Symprove on an empty stomach, helps limit our bacteria's exposure to digestive juices that would otherwise kill them.
Designed for your gut
Our aim is to support a healthy balance of bacteria in your gut. Discover more about the gut microbiome, how it works and how Symprove can support your gut.
