Vitakruid Symflora Junior Pre- and Probiotics for children

Vitakruid Symflora Junior Pre- and Probiotics for children
Pre- and probiotics for children between 1 and 12 years
At every stage of life, a different probiotic is suitable that meets the needs of that phase. For Symflora® Junior, probiotic strains have been chosen based on the needs of children from 1 year old. The junior formula can be easily and safely added to water.

What are prebiotics?
Prebiotics are the dietary fibers for the bacteria in our intestines. These indigestible dietary fibers can be found in foods such as grains, vegetables, and fruits. Prebiotic fibers stimulate the growth and function of the bacteria, giving them a better chance of survival in our bodies. In our Symflora® Junior, we have included prebiotics for optimal activity of the probiotics.

Six strains with scientific backing
Scientific research shows that probiotics with multiple strains are more effective than a probiotic with just one strain. This can be compared to a team of people with diverse backgrounds. Their different qualities enable them to help and complement each other.

Bifidobacteria are dominant in the intestines of a newborn baby, but the composition of the microbiome changes over time. In the first three years of life, a child's gut flora reaches a stable state, with the strains bifidobacterium and lactobacillus being the most prevalent. Therefore, we at Symflora® Junior have chosen a formula with six bacterial strains of these two types.

High survival rate after 24 hours
Crucial for the quality of a probiotic is the extent to which the bacteria withstand the digestive system. During the digestion of food, the bacterial strains are subjected to various digestive juices, such as bile and stomach acid. The acidity of the stomach can cause certain probiotics not to survive, resulting in fewer live bacteria ultimately reaching your intestines.

Probiotic activity more important than Kve/g
Winclove probiotics, together with Maastricht University, published a study showing that the (kve/g) in Symflora® at the end of the digestive system is relatively constant. This means that the number of bacterial strains you consume has a high survival rate. They have a higher metabolic activity because they generally remain intact after digestion. Metabolic activity also refers to the level of activity that bacterial strains achieve during the digestion of food without being affected.

When selecting good probiotics, the survival and metabolic activity tests are relevant benchmarks. It is often thought that the amount of colony forming units (kve/g) is important, but this is not entirely true. What is the value of a large number of (kve/g) when the bacterial strains do not survive our stomach acid before they reach the endpoint?

Kve/g The abbreviation (kve/g) comes from the English abbreviation (cfu/g), which means colony forming units per gram. In Dutch, we have created the term; kolonievormende eenheden per gram. The germ count or the colony forming units per gram represent the number of probiotic colonies present in one gram of the product. One sachet of Symflora® Junior contains 2 x 10^8 (kve/g), which is equivalent to 200 million colony forming units.

With ProbioAct® technology
The ProbioAct® technology contains specially selected nutrients that contribute to the stability, survival, and metabolic activity of the probiotics. This is important as bacteria are vulnerable. This technology ensures that the probiotics are shelf-stable at room temperature and that they are resistant to the various digestive juices in the digestive system.

Vitamin D for children
The Health Council advises a daily amount of 10 mcg of vitamin D for children. The junior formula contains 5 mcg of vitamin D, so you already get half of this recommendation!

Sachet protects against moisture, light, and air
We have chosen to package Symflora® Junior in sachets. This has several advantages over other packaging methods. For example, the product remains optimally protected against light, air, and moisture in a sachet.

Moreover, the probiotics in this product are only in inactive form to ensure their shelf life. When the single-celled organisms come into contact with moisture, they become active again.

Vitamin D:
- has a positive effect on the immune system of children
- also contributes to a good immune system in children
