The Next Generation
Functional Food - with the Latest Synbiotic!

We have set out to produce a non-dairy synbiotic (probiotic and prebiotic) powder beverage in a ‘whole food’ format because probiotics are rarely available in nature as an isolated ingredient. Instead, they are often encapsulated by fibre. So, we mimic nature by encapsulating a yeast probiotic, Saccharomyces Bourdin with the prebiotic acacia gum. This yeast probiotic was first discovered in lychee and mangosteen skins and used traditionally in South-East Asia while acacia gum is a net-zero ingredient from social enterprises in the African Sahel.

We deliver this synbiotic in a whole food format with proteins and carbohydrates because in this form, they have improved health benefits, higher nutritional quality, sensory properties, shelf-life and viability. Emulating nature gives added advantages. The synbiotic behaves like a controlled release probiotic travelling further down the large colon.This allows fermentation of the prebiotic and promotes the growth of various strains of bacteria in both the small and large intestines, unlike many products. Unlike most prebiotics that does not work beyond the small intestine, gum acacia travels much further down the intestinal tract improving the efficacy of this product.

We used the only yeast with probiotic ability, Saccharomyces bourladii which withstands stomach and bile acids better than live culture. This yeast also continues to act even if the consumer takes antibiotics.
