"Probiotics" - from the Greek, meaning "for life".  The term is medically referred to as a group of "friendly bacteria" or "microflora".  Trillions of bacteria and other microbes inhabit our digestive tract making it possible to digest food, absorb nutrients, and fight off infections and disease.  Without microflora our entire digestive system would collapse after eating a piece of fruit that hadn't been properly washed.  Intestinal microflora make it possible to fight off toxic bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella and pass waste matter efficiently throughout the body and ultimately regulate a healthy immune system.  Without sufficient microflora available, the nutrients we consume would virtually pass through us, leaving us starving.

Typical probiotic formulas contain competing strains of bacteria.  These strains can be cannibalistic or fight for the same food sources.  Simply adding more strains of bacteria to a probiotic does not necessarily make it stronger, and in some cases can actually have the reverse effect.  Syntol contains 100% complementary microflora in capsule form.  Typical probiotics are sold in tablet form.  Tablets are easier and cheaper to manufacture, but are much less absorbable than powdered capsules in the body, and in some cases require refrigeration to survive.  Syntol uses spore germination technology, a revolutionary new process that delivers probiotic spores rather than living bacteria.  Probiotic spores are dormant life forms that protect the bacteria from acidic conditions, as well as extreme heat and cold.  These spores then attach themselves to the inside of the intestinal mucosa and begin to germinate, forming the probiotic bacteria.  Spore germination technology is an extremely dependable means for delivering probiotics in less than ideal conditions, and they do not require glass packaging and refrigeration.
