We think what Symprove has achieved for liquid probiotics is amazing. They have proven that liquid is best! We have a lot to thank them for…and there are some big differences between what we make and the Symprove product. Firstly the microbial strains… Symprove have four different microbial strains: L. rhamnosus, E. faecium, L. acidophilus, and L. plantarum and they do not state where these are derived from. And microbz probiotic has fifteen different microbial strains: bacillus subtilis, bifidobacterium bifidum, bifidobacterium breve, bifidobacterium infantis, bifidobacterium longum, lactobacillus acidophilus, lactobacillus bulgaricus, lactobacillus casei, lactobacillus fermentum, lactobacillus plantarum, lactobacillus rhamnosus, lactococcus lactis, saccharomyces boulardii, saccharomyces cerevisiae and streptococcus thermophilus all derived from nature (soil). Then what is also added…. The rest of the list of ingredients in Symprove are vitamin C, a chemical preservative and natural flavourings. Microbz probiotics contain malt or molasses to aid the fermentation process, and between 12 – 50 (depending on the product) traditional herbs and minerals derived from natural sources and used for centuries to treat inflammation or immune conditions. It is a probiotic and micro dose of herbal medicine. And then there is the price… A month of Symprove probiotics can cost between £40 - £70 A monthy of microbz probiotics cost between £23.50 - £31.50.
