At Goodbac, our mission is deeply personal, rooted in a desire to make a difference in people’s lives. The idea came from a moment of need, when my Mum was dealing with a severe flare up of her diverticulitis, compounded with constipation and acne. Her doctor had recommended she take probiotics, and so she turned to me to ask which ones would be best. 

Despite 11 years of expertise in the probiotic world, reading and performing clinical trials, I felt lost in the midst of countless products. It was humbling to realise that expertise did not always translate into practical solutions for our loved ones. 

Turning to research, I poured over scientific studies, searching for which bacteria strains had evidence of benefits for my Mum’s specific needs. Yet, even when I knew which strains she needed, I could not find an existing product containing this combination of strains, and certainly not in any meaningful quantities. 

That is when I had the idea – a probiotics company that empowered individuals to create their own blends tailored to their unique needs and goals. 

What will your blend be?
