And how do probiotic supplements work? Your gut is made up of two kinds of bacteria - good, and bad. When the bad bacteria grow too many, your gut can start acting up. That’s when you need to find a way to increase the number of your good bacteria to overpower the bad ones and regain order. It’s a bit of a warzone in your gut, and the good bacteria’s job is to keep the bad bacteria from staging an uprising to wreak havoc on your insides. When the good bacteria are struggling, you can give the balance a helping hand by consuming certain foods and probiotic supplements to increase the number of good bacteria living in your gut. Probiotics are a useful combination of chosen good bacteria that are effective at supporting your stomach balance, giving your tummy the back up that it needs before and after things go awry. When you start a round of antibiotics for an illness, a doctor in NZ may also recommend probiotic supplements. This is because when you take antibiotics, the antibiotics’ job is to go in and destroy all bacteria (although they there with the intention of killing the bad bacteria to support your recovery). Antibiotics can not tell the difference between good bacteria and the bad bacteria, and so it will eliminate both kinds. By taking probiotics, you are supporting your gut’s natural health by increasing the number of good bacteria so it doesn’t get wiped out completely. In a nutshell, probiotic supplements are a great way to not only support your gut flora every day, but they are also great for helping your balance get back in check after ills and chills or other less than ideal conditions experienced by your body. Depending on where you get your probiotic supplements from in NZ, they maintain 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!

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!
