We hold that same belief today, but have stayed curious in the years since, dedicated to researching the microbiome and developing the Symprove formula. 1986 Unhappy with existing animal feed, farmer and Symprove Ltd founder Barry Smith developed his own feed based on germinated grains - a form of probiotic. After witnessing the impact of this on his animals, Barry was encouraged to take the technology to people. The seeds of Symprove were sown. 1996 Based around a barley, a natural grain which has undergone fermentation, Symprove (known as Multigerm at the time) becomes available on the agricultural market and is found to have a positive effect on a range of animals. Two leading vets encourage its use in humans. 2002 Backed with funding for clinical research into human health and food supplements, the formula is refined for human use and Symprove was born. 2010 Following a period of research and clinical studies, Symprove is launched as a food supplement, available to the public for the first time. 2014 Symprove’s production and bottling facilities in Farnham, Surrey – where every bottle of Symprove has ever been made - are upgraded to meet growing demand. 2015 Research is undertaken by the University College of London. They find that Symprove withstands all three phases of their testing – arrival in the gut, survival and the ability to thrive. 2018 Using a Simulator of the Human Intestinal Microbioal Ecosystem (SHIME), research confirms the live bacteria in Symprove is able to arrive, survive and thrive in the gut, as well as providing greater insight into how Symprove is able to influence and support the gut microbiome. Our philosophy At Symprove we believe that living your best, feeling your best and looking your best starts from within. Living well means eating well, taking some exercise, and also enjoying good gut health. Research shows that these three things are inter-linked, and all have a massive impact on our wellbeing. And so if you live well, you should feel well, and if you feel well you will look well. This is what we mean by Inside out thinking. Meet the team Barry Smith Founder Barry founded what was to become Symprove Ltd over 30 years ago after noticing a significant difference in the health of his cattle when fed grain treated with bacteria. After leading vets suggested the product could have benefits for humans, Barry led a research and development programme to produce a formula suitable for human consumption. The resulting food supplement became Symprove, which was launched as brand in 2010. Clinical research by leading academic bodies, including University College London and King’s College Hospital, London, has proven that Symprove arrives, survives and thrives in the gut, improving the balance of the gut microbiome. Barry is an expert in using food technology to manage wellbeing. He has previously run his own market garden business and was a medic in the British Army.
