Q: Are there any side effects or precautions I should be aware of?

Most people don't experience side-effects. A few find there are niggles when they first take it. But this is usually just a sign that the bacteria are where they need to be, and getting to work. Often these niggles take the form of changes to your Poo. Either constipation or mild diarrhea. But as your body adjusts to Symprove these should quickly disappear.

Q: What are the safety controls in place in the production of Symprove?

Symprove is made in a controlled environment. This means the company is incredibly careful about hygiene, temperature controls and how they handle their live bacteria. The production process is patented and they take quality control really seriously. They want to make sure that our quality and purity is spot on. Symprove UK is an ISO 9001:2015 certified company. This means that their internal quality management systems are held up to internationally approved standards.

Q: Is there any research into Symprove?

Yes, lots! Symprove is backed by over 20 years of research. During this time we’ve collaborated with some of the UK’s top scientists – and we’ve taken part in lots of large independent studies. We’ve also seen some amazing breakthroughs. One study by University College London saw Symprove outperform seven other leading products in its ability to arrive alive, survive and colonise the gut. In fact, it was the only product that passed all three tests!

Question 3

How is Symprove made?

Accepted Answer

Symprove is made in a controlled environment through a series of carefully controlled stages. First they 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 4 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 they use are high purity laboratory cultures which are unique to Symprove.

Yes. Symprove does not contain any animal products in the formulation so it is suitable for people on a vegan diet.

Question 7

Can people with food allergies drink Symprove?

Symprove is gluten-free according to the Codex standard of <20ppm. Whilst barley, which contains a form of gluten, is used to make the liquid in which the Symprove bacteria thrive, the production process is carefully controlled to limit the release of gluten from the barley, and the barley grain is not included in the finished product.

Compliance with the Codex standard for gluten free is confirmed with regular testing of batches of our finished Symprove products.  Symprove does not contain any dairy product, so it is suitable for people with cow's milk allergy.  Moreover, it contains no artificial colours or flavours.
