What is prebiotics?
Prebiotics are the dietary fibres for the bacteria in our intestines. These indigestible dietary fibres are found in foods such as grains, vegetables, and fruits. Prebiotic fibres stimulate the growth and functioning of 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.1 This is comparable to a team of people with various backgrounds. Their different qualities enable them to assist and complement each other.

The bifidobacteria are dominant in the intestines of a newborn baby, but the composition of the microbiome changes over time.2 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 common. For this reason, we have chosen a formula with six bacterial strains of these two types for Symflora® Junior.

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

Probiotic activity more important than CFU/g
Winclove probiotics, together with Maastricht University, published a study showing that the (cfu/g) in Symflora® remains relatively constant at the end of the digestive system. 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 undamaged after digestion. Metabolic activity also means the level of activity that bacterial strains achieve during food digestion without being affected.

When selecting good probiotics, survival and metabolic activity tests are relevant indicators. People often think that the number of colony-forming units (cfu/g) is important, but this is not entirely true. What is the value of a large number of (cfu/g) when the bacterial strains do not survive our stomach acid before reaching the endpoint?

CFU/g The abbreviation (cfu/g) comes from the English abbreviation (cfu/g), which means colony forming units per gram. In Dutch, we have made it the term; colony-forming units per gram. The germ count or colony-forming units per gram stand for the number of probiotic colonies present in a gram of the product. One sachet of Symflora® Junior contains 2 x 108 (cfu/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 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 advice!

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 in a sachet remains optimally protected against light, air, and moisture.

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

Claims
Vitamin D:
- has a positive influence on the immune system of children 
- also contributes to the good resistance of children
