Good Bacteria Vs Bad Bacteria

Your body is flooded with bacteria. And that’s not a bad thing! Your stomach microbiome is wildly colourful, naturally made up of good bacteria and bad bacteria. Together, these good and bad bacteria form a balance which is the stomach comfort you experience when you’re in good health - otherwise known as equilibrium. Neither bacteria is overpowering the other, so the harmony of your gut bacteria is where it should be. Bad bacteria is exactly what it sounds like - bad! It’s unhealthy bacteria, but your body will never be 100% rid of it - so it’s ok to have some hanging around! Too much of it is often the reason behind any stomach aches, ill stomach health or discomfort. Good bacteria works hard to maintain the population of bad bacteria and keep it low, maintaining a healthy balance. However - there does come a time when the gut bacteria balance gets out of whack. This is due to ills and chills, eating something that you shouldn’t have, or a general drop in good bacteria in the gut. Gut bacteria are often referred to as ‘Gut Flora’, so you will see it mentioned sometimes on this page! If you’re in NZ, and you’re seeking some probiotic supplementations to keep this bad bacteria in check - then you’ve come to the right place!
