When you think about a supplement containing live bacteria, a capsule probably seems like the obvious choice. It is convenient, familiar and easy to take.
So why did Symprove choose something different?
The answer starts with a simple question.
What happens to live bacteria between the bottle and your gut? Live bacteria are living organisms Bacteria are living microorganisms. Like other living things, they have specific conditions in which they survive and thrive. Many supplements containing bacteria use freeze drying to put the bacteria into a dormant state.
Symprove takes a different approach.
Its bacteria are suspended in a water based solution, allowing them to remain alive and metabolically active.
Why does water matter?
The stomach creates a challenging environment for live bacteria because of its acidity. Symprove's formulation was designed to help its bacteria survive this journey. The bacteria undergo a precision fermentation process using germinated barley extract before being placed into the water based solution. Independent research has investigated the ability of Symprove's bacteria to survive stomach conditions and reach the lower gut alive.
How do you take it?
We recommend taking a 70ml shot first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, followed by a 10 minute wait before eating or drinking.
It is a small ritual.
Shake.
Pour.
Drink.
Wait.
Then get on with your morning.
Why consistency matters
Your gut microbiome is not something that changes overnight. It is a complex ecosystem influenced by diet, lifestyle, medication, age and many other factors. That is why Symprove recommends giving your gut time to adjust and trying it consistently for at least 12 weeks. We can report that 94% of customers feel a difference within three months, although individual experiences naturally vary.
There is something reassuring about keeping things simple. One small ritual, every morning, designed around the science of getting live bacteria where they need to go.
