Vitakruid Symflora® Femme (90 capsules) contains 500 mg Quatreflora® per capsule, a patented yeast strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (CNCM I-3856). The formula has been specially developed for women. Unlike the other products in the Symflora® line, Symflora® Femme does not contain bacterial strains but a yeast. The yeast strain is cultivated on a plant-based medium, such as sugar beet or sugar cane. This makes the capsules suitable for vegans. You only take 1 capsule per day, so one package lasts for 90 days.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a yeast species that has been used for thousands of years in the making of bread, beer, and wine. It is one of the best-studied micro-organisms in the world. There are many different strains within this species, each with their own characteristics.
No. Baker's yeast belongs to the same species, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but consists of other strains. Symflora® Femme contains one specific patented strain: CNCM I-3856.
Yeasts and bacteria are both micro-organisms, but they are very differently structured. A yeast is a single-celled fungus with a cell nucleus and a sturdy cell wall. A bacterium is smaller and does not have a cell nucleus.
ProbioAct® is a technology Vitakruid uses in products with bacterial strains. According to the manufacturer, this technology is not needed for yeast, because yeasts naturally have a sturdy cell wall.
CFU stands for colony-forming units. It is the unit that indicates how many living micro-organisms a product contains. Each unit is one cell that can multiply into a colony.
Bacterial strains are often cultivated on a medium of dairy products. The yeast strain in Symflora® Femme is cultivated on a plant-based medium, such as sugar beet or sugar cane. The capsule is also plant-based.
