First-hand
experiences
If your stomach is sensitive
Goodie is a strong fermented beverage, so for those with sensitive stomachs, we recommend:
DILUTE WITH COLD WATER - it mellows the taste.
ADD IT TO SMOOTHIES - suitable for berry, banana and plant milk bases.
ADD IT TO JUICE - for example, apple juice can help reduce the acidity.
DILUTE WITH MINERAL WATER - some doctors recommend diluting Goodie with mineral water.
✦ IMPORTANT:
Do not mix Goodie with hot drinks, as high temperatures destroy the live cultures.

About Goodie flavour:
Goodie is a naturally fermented drink with no added sugar. It is not lemonade! It has a rich, fermented berry flavour with a slight sour note.
Imagine a combination of kombucha and blackcurrants - not everyone will enjoy it at first, but the gut health benefits are significant.

F.A.Q
Live cultures. What are they?
Live cultures are beneficial micro-organisms that live in the gut and help maintain digestive, immune, and overall health.
Why do we need gut bacteria?
Modern diets are often deficient in a wide range of nutrients, with people often eating fast food, ordering from restaurants, and consuming highly processed products. All this reduces the diversity of good bacteria in the gut. Fermented drinks such as Goodie provide natural bacteria that can help:
- Improve digestion and reduce bloating.
- Strengthen the immune system.
- Improve nutrient absorption.
- Maintain the balance of gut microflora.
- Partially compensate for the damage caused by agrochemical residues in food.
How is Goodie different from probiotic supplements?
Probiotics in capsules often contain only a few species of bacteria and their viability depends on the storage conditions. Goodie is a naturally fermented drink with 96 strains of live cultures, over 90 of which work synergistically and naturally adapt to the digestive system.
Diversity is just as important as concentration - the more strains present, the broader the range of functions they can perform in the gut.
How is Goodie made?
Goodie is produced by natural fermentation, using real berries. It contains no concentrates, preservatives or stabilisers. Fermentation takes place in a controlled environment, ensuring that the live cultures in the drink are preserved.
During the two-week unpasteurised fermentation process, the temperature is kept at 36–37 °C (close to body temperature) creating an optimal environment for the growth of beneficial micro-organisms.
When is the best time to consume Goodie?
It is recommended to take it in the morning before breakfast and in the evening before going to bed, which allows the bacteria to work most effectively. If you have a sensitive stomach, you can dilute with water or mix it into smoothies.
Can I drink Goodie if I have a sensitive stomach?
Yes, but if you have a sensitive gut, we recommend:
- Dilute with cold water or sparkling mineral water
- Blend into fruit smoothies
- Consume with apple or other natural juices
Can Goodie replace medicines or medical probiotics?
No, Goodie is not a medication. If you have serious digestive or health problems, consult your doctor. However, as part of your daily diet, Goodie can help maintain the natural balance of your gut.
How is Goodie different from kombucha?
Both drinks are fermented but Goodie:
- Contains a greater variety of live cultures (96 strains)
- Is made from real berries, not tea-based concentrate
- Contains no added sugar after fermentation
What is Goodie’s shelf life?
Our studies show that Goodie remains stable for 9–12 months when stored correctly - ideally in the fridge.
Why does Goodie sometimes taste different?
As Goodie is naturally fermented, its taste may vary slightly depending on the seasonality of the berries and the fermentation process. This is completely normal and confirms that the product is natural and free from artificial additives or stabilisers.
