Vitakruid Symflora Femme Probiotics for womenProbiotic food
Fermented products are an excellent source of probiotics. They are the result of a natural fermentation process in which bacteria, fungi, or yeasts are added. Yogurt, for example, is made by adding lactic acid bacteria to milk. Cabbage turns into sauerkraut after fermentation.
Some processing methods kill the probiotics in food. Most dairy products, for example, are pasteurized, which means the probiotics do not survive.
Foods with probiotics:
- Yogurt (with live cultures)
- Kefir
- Raw milk
- Traditional buttermilk
- Raw milk cheeses
- Miso
- Sauerkraut
- Kombucha
- Pickles (fermented in brine)
- Tempeh
- Kimchi
- Natto
- Sourdough bread
- Apple cider vinegar (with the mother)
Probiotics for women
Symflora® Femme is a probiotic specially developed for women. It is safe to use even during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, the first choice from week 32 of pregnancy and during the breastfeeding period is Symflora® Baby! The nutrition and supplements you take during this period also reach your baby. The probiotic strains in Symflora® Baby have been specially selected for the important first year of your child's life.
First in the Netherlands with patented Quatreflora™
In the Netherlands, Symflora® Femme is the first probiotic with Quatreflora™. Quatreflora™ is produced from the patented strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-3856. This unique probiotic yeast has been developed according to the latest scientific insights and has been clinically tested.
User-friendly capsules
Symflora® Femme is easy to take orally thanks to the user-friendly capsules. Since the probiotics remain intact, there is no need to apply them locally.
Arrives alive at its destination
Symflora® Femme stands out from the other products in our Symflora® line. It does not contain a bacterial species, but a yeast. Additionally, there is no ProbioAct® technology in Symflora® Femme. But there is a good reason for this!
Yeasts have a tough cell wall that protects them against the acidic environment of the stomach. As a result, the yeasts remain intact and arrive alive at their destination. Probiotic bacteria such as Lactobacilli, on the other hand, are less resistant to stomach acid.
No ProbioAct® needed
ProbioAct® is a technology that guarantees the stability, survival, and metabolic activity of probiotic bacteria. This technology is not needed for yeasts, as they are naturally resistant to stomach acid.
Suitable for vegans
Probiotics are often grown on dairy products, making them unsuitable for a vegan lifestyle. However, Saccharomyces cerevisiae is grown on a plant-based medium, such as sugar beets or sugar cane. Therefore, Symflora® Femme is also suitable for vegans!
