2. Every shot contains billions of live bacteria to help balance your microbiome

What's in it?

Live activated cultures of: L. rhamnosus NCIMB 30174, E. faecium NCIMB 30176, L. plantarum NCIMB 30173, L. acidophilus NCIMB 30175 (cfu unspecified). Other ingredients: Water, Extract of germinated barley, Vitamin C, Acidity regulator; Trisodium citrate; Preservative: otassium sorbate

*price per month based on 12-month subscription

What does the research say?

The strains in Symprove appear to survive stomach acid but this was shown in an animal model and not humans

A randomized, controlled trial showed that Symprove may be helpful for symptoms of IBS (abdominal pain and bowel habit)

A randomized, controlled trial showed that Symprove may be helpful for symptoms of uncomplicated diverticular disease (constipation, diarrhoea, and back pain)

A randomized, controlled trial showed that Symprove may be helpful for ulcerative colitis, but not Crohn’s disease (reduced intestinal inflammation in ulcerative colitis only)

The Verdict

Symprove may be helpful for some symptoms of IBS and diverticular disease. It may also be helpful for reducing inflammation in ulcerative colitis
