Listening to your body is very important, and you will be able to tell if your stomach starts to feel a bit off again while experimenting with probiotic-rich foods (especially if you are already taking a probiotic supplement!) If you are taking a probiotic supplement, you are most likely still be ok to eat probiotic-rich food - although we recommend that you discuss starting any kind of probiotics supplements or other supplementation with your NZ healthcare provider first for advice. Most foods where probiotics are found are made through the process of fermentation and are effective at providing the gut with some good bacteria. Foods that are naturally rich and dense with probiotics are: Yoghurt Kefir (A fermented milk drink) Sauerkraut (Fermented shredded cabbage) Kimchi Tempeh Miso Kombucha Pickles Traditional Buttermilk Cottage Cheese Aged Cheddar Cheese Gouda Mozzarella Cheese Natto While we don’t know of any serious side effects of taking our probiotic supplements as per the directions, if at any time you experience discomfort, your body may be telling you that this kind of supplementation is not for you. Always discuss with your healthcare professional before starting any kind of supplementation, especially if you suffer from any conditions.

As previously mentioned, probiotic supplements will vary from vendor to vendor selling within NZ, on what kind of probiotic strain is within the supplement and the amounts. While we can not vouch for the effectiveness of other supplements out on the market, we can vouch for ours!

Supplementation can often be a game of trial and error until you find the correct supplements for your particular body’s health support requirements. Here, at The Good Vitamin Co, we take pride in making sure our supplements cater for as many people in NZ as possible and even have a probiotic supplements product designed specifically for children. We strive to create supplements that are allergy-friendly - meaning no soy, no nuts, no dairy, no gelatin, no gluten and no eggs. This makes them vegan-friendly too! Our range is also Halal certified, making them perfect for almost anyone in NZ searching for the perfect probiotic supplements for healthy gut support. Depending on where you get your probiotic supplements from in NZ, they contain different strains of probiotic bacteria (good bacteria.) The probiotic supplements we supply here at The Good Vitamin Co to our NZ customers contain the common strain of natural probiotic bacteria called Lactobacillus, which is the same probiotic you will find in fermented foods - such as yoghurt. These probiotics work by replacing the good bacteria in your gut, keeping balanced levels by keeping the good bacteria population bigger than the bad bacteria population. Strength in numbers!

You can get a hold of our probiotic supplements from our online store, based right here in NZ. We offer a secure website with bundles of choices of supplements, including our probiotics. The Good Vitamin Co supplies ranges for both adults and children and puts importance on using natural, friendly ingredients with no hidden nasties! Our warehouse ships countrywide, so no matter where in NZ you are, you can get your stock of probiotic supplements delivered to you with ease.

Some children may be allergic to food such as: Gluten, Dairy, Egg, or Nuts. Those children whose allergic to above food may develop symptoms such as: hives, itching, swelling, vomiting, diarrhoea, nausea, trouble breathing, or a sudden low blood pressure. This can be due to an exaggerated immune system to a food protein, and the body triggers an allergic reaction. We want our children to stay healthy and happy, and be active at their ultimate best, which is why our soft chews contain No Gluten, Dairy, Egg, or Nuts.
