Vitakruid Symflora Baby Probiotics for Mother & Baby

Vitakruid Symflora Baby Probiotics for mother & baby

For the important first year of life
At every stage of life, there is a probiotic that meets the needs of that period. For Symflora® Baby, the probiotic strains have been selected based on the requirements during the important first year of life.

The probiotics can easily be added to formula milk and expressed breast milk or smeared around the nipple when breastfeeding.

Happy mother, happy baby
Symflora® Baby is suitable not only for babies but also for (expectant) mothers. This probiotic can be used from week 32 of pregnancy and during breastfeeding. The nutrition and supplements you take during pregnancy and breastfeeding are passed on to your baby.

Four strains with scientific backing
Research shows that a probiotic with multiple strains is more effective than a probiotic with just a single strain. You can compare it to a team of people with different backgrounds. With their various qualities, they can help and complement each other.

The first bacterial strains that colonize a baby's intestines are mainly bifidobacteria. With this knowledge in mind, Vitakruid has chosen a formula for Symflora® Baby that includes no less than four bifidobacterium strains.

High survival rate after 24 hours
Important for the quality of a probiotic is the survival rate of the bacterial strains after passing through our digestive system. During digestion, the probiotics are exposed to various substances – such as stomach acid and bile – that aid in digestion. There are probiotics that do not survive the acidity of your stomach, resulting in fewer live microorganisms actually reaching your intestines.

Probiotic activity more important than Kve/g
A study by Winclove probiotics in collaboration with Maastricht University shows that the (kve/g)* in Symflora® remains relatively stable after passing through our digestion. In other words, the number of probiotics you take has a high survival rate. They largely pass through the digestion unharmed and therefore also have a higher metabolic activity. Metabolic activity refers to the activity level that bacterial strains achieve within our digestive system without being damaged.

For selecting a good probiotic, passing the survival and metabolic activity tests are relevant benchmarks. It is often said that the number of colony-forming units (kve/g)* is leading. The more (kve/g)*, the better the product. However, this is a misunderstanding. What is the importance of a large amount of (kve/g)* when the bacteria all die in our stomach acid?

*Kve/g The abbreviation (kve/g) comes from the English abbreviation (cfu/g), which means colony-forming units per gram. In Dutch, we have made the term; kolonievormende eenheden per gram. The germ number or the colony-forming units per gram represents the number of probiotic colonies present in one gram of the product. One gram of Symflora® Baby contains 10^9 (kve/g).

With ProbioAct® technology
Bacteria are vulnerable, which is why Vitakruid has chosen the ProbioAct® technology. This involves selecting nutrients that contribute to the survival, metabolic activity, and stability of the probiotics. The technology guarantees that the bacterial strains are stable at room temperature and that they survive the digestive juices in the gastrointestinal tract.

Sachet protects against moisture, light, and air
For the packaging choice of Symflora® Baby, sachets have been selected. This packaging form has several advantages over other methods. A product in a sachet remains optimally protected against moisture, light, and air.

The probiotics in this product exist only in inactive form to ensure their shelf life. When the bacteria come into contact with water, they become active again.
