Here are the explanations of two words:
Probiotics refer to substances that can selectively promote the growth and reproduction of one or more beneficial bacteria (probiotics) in the intestinal tract of the host, and inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria through the increase of the reproduction of beneficial bacteria, so as to achieve the purpose of regulating intestinal flora and promoting the health of the body. This substance was first discovered by Bifidobacterium factor. Such as various oligosaccharides or oligosaccharides. Common ones are lactulose, sucrose oligosaccharide, cottonseed oligosaccharide, maltooligosaccharide and soybean oligosaccharide. These sugars are not digested and absorbed by human digestive system, nor are they decomposed and utilized by intestinal flora. They can only be utilized by beneficial intestinal flora such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus to promote the growth and reproduction of beneficial bacteria and inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, thus achieving the purpose of regulating normal intestinal flora. Other organic acids and their salts, such as gluconic acid, calcium gluconate, and some Chinese herbal medicines, such as ginseng, codonopsis pilosula, astragalus, etc. Or tea extract can also play the role of prebiotics.
Synbiotics, also known as synbiotics, refers to the combination of probiotics and prebiotics, or the addition of vitamins and trace elements. It can not only give full play to the physiological bacterial activity of probiotics, but also selectively and rapidly increase the number of such bacteria, making the role of probiotics more significant and lasting.
As a new generation of microecological regulator, synbiotics combines probiotics and prebiotics, which can play their physiological functions at the same time, make probiotics and prebiotics coordinate with each other, fight diseases and maintain the microecological balance of the body.
"Synbiotics" brand
Guangzhou Synbiotics Co., Ltd. (Guangzhou) was established in 1999, and was wholly owned by Synbiotics Pharmaceutical (China) Co., Ltd. in 2003. Its logistics and testing center is located in Guangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone. The company has nearly 600 employees and 59 offices all over the country. Since 2000, together with French Lallemand Group, we have promoted the concept of probiotics and a series of nutrition and health products under the brand of "Synbiotics" in China. The first probiotic product promoted by Synbiotics-Synbiotics Children's Probiotics Granule, after more than two years of functional experiment, declaration and registration, has obtained the import certificate of health food in China. After entering the market formally, Synbiotics won the favor of the market with its excellent quality and remarkable efficacy, and became the first brand in China children's probiotic market. At present, the production of R&D and "Synbiotics" brand products comes from professional factories in France that meet GMP standards. Products are directly imported from abroad and put on the market after being tested by China Import Inspection and Quarantine Bureau to ensure the high quality of products. In 2005 alone, the number of children's probiotic granules imported from Guangzhou Baiyun Airport Customs was as high as 50 tons, ranking first 100 after paying customs duties, and selling more than 30 million bags.
Lallemand Group has more than 90 years of yeast production history and more than 70 years of probiotic research and development history. There are two independent R&D centers and 65,438+03 factories in the world, with an annual turnover of more than 800 million US dollars. With the patented technology of PROBIOCAP and STAR, it is in the leading position in the production, development and application of yeast and probiotics in the world. In the first quarter of 2006, Synbiotics France and Synbiotics Pharmaceutical (China) Co., Ltd., subsidiaries of Lalemant Holdings, invested 20 million yuan to build a probiotic GMP factory in the first phase of Guangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone. The factory was completed and put into operation in the first quarter of 2008, and its cleanliness will be the highest in the health care industry at present. It is expected that after the second phase of the project is completed in 2008, it will become the largest factory in China probiotic health food industry.
Traditional probiotic products are mainly treated by freeze-drying technology. These products are sensitive to humidity, temperature and other chemical and physical factors, so their application is limited. Moreover, when they pass through the digestive tract, the survival rate will be greatly reduced because of stomach acid and bile, which is also a long-term concern.
In order to break through the difficulties, Lallemand Group's research institutions in France have carried out the following research for a long time: screening of excellent natural strains, research on effective preservation methods, development and application of new product formulas, etc. The special protection technology invented by researchers has greatly improved the stability and viability of probiotics. The main manifestations are: enhancing the resistance to heat, humidity and gastric acid and prolonging the shelf life, which can ensure them to reach the intestine smoothly and colonize the intestinal mucosa.
