Symprove Programme
What is Symprove?
Symprove is a water-based formulation that contains four unique strains of live activated bacteria. Because of this unique formulation Symprove will not trigger digestion, meaning the bacteria are able to:
Arrive to the gut unharmed and in full strength
Survive the harsh acidic environment of the stomach
Thrive in the gut to colonise successfully
Symprove helps to support the gut microbiome and balance gut bacteria.
The 12 week programme
We want you to use Symprove for at least 12 weeks. It can take time for your gut bacteria to go out of balance, and it can take time to re-balance it.
Some people will feel the effect before others, but a minimum of 12 weeks will give you the best chance of re-balancing your gut and noticing the difference.
If you have purchased all 12 bottles in one go, please ensure you start your 12-week programme straightaway because of the shelf-life of the product.
What differences might I see over the 12 week programme?
A minority of people report some ups and downs as their bodies adjust to the Symprove bacteria. This is perfectly normal so don’t be alarmed and continue to take Symprove daily.
Most people report a positive feeling within the first few weeks, although it can take longer.
It is important to take Symprove for the full 12 weeks in order to experience the best results from a healthy balance of gut bacteria.
The research
Symprove has a strong Research & Development Programme and is constantly improving its products. We are researching two main areas. Firstly, the effectiveness of the delivery system, where we work extensively with independent laboratories and Healthcare Professionals to make sure our delivery system is as good as it can possibly be.
Secondly, for over 10 years, Symprove have invested heavily into research with leading independent Health professionals.
How is Symprove made?
Symprove is made in a controlled environment through a series of carefully controlled stages. First we boil specially selected grain to create a wort. The wort is purified and sterilised and following this, the temperature is controlled in sterilised vats and the four strains of bacteria are carefully introduced. The live bacteria begin to divide and once the required levels are reached, the process is halted and Symprove is ready for bottling once it’s been tested by an independent laboratory.
Throughout every stage, the bacteria are carefully nurtured as they are living organisms. The bacteria we use are high purity laboratory cultures which are unique to Symprove.

Is this a Probiotic?
You can call it what you like, but the Advertising Standards Authority has ruled that the word "probiotic" is a health claim, so we can no longer describe products containing bacteria like this to be probiotics.

This flavoured probiotic contains sucralose, which I have read is a harmful ingredient for the body. I am disappointed that Symprove have added this. Also, my super sensitive boy didn’t like the taste so it took hours to get it down, but I expect most children would find it ok. We have discontinued using it as I want a product without a harmful sweetener, thus i cannot comment on its efficiacy.

Hi Jo,
Thanks for your review. While the Mango and Passionfruit Symprove does contain a small amount of sucralose, the Original flavour does not. The Mango and Passionfruit is far more popular than the Original, as most people find it more palatable.
Like you, I am very cautious about sucralose. In this case, the reason for using it with Symprove is because a natural sweetener would activate the digestive process before the probiotic reaches the colon which would render it less effective. Even though sucralose in large amounts seems to be a problem for some people, we have not seen this.
We are sending you some of the Original Flavour in the hope that your son will take one or the other. I hope this helps.
Best wishes Lucinda

Thank you so much for sending us the unflavoured Symprove. Although my son wants a little fresh juice added to it (which i am aware is not ideal), [removed by moderator due to health claims]! We still have another two months to go to complete the 3 month programme, but I am feeling heartened by the progress.
