Frequently Asked Questions
WHY FOR HER OVER OTHER BRANDS?
Unlike generic probiotic brands that are one-size-fits-all, For Her is uniquely formulated with women’s bodies in mind, especially during the hormone-shifting years of your 30s, 40s and beyond. It supports the gut-hormone connection by targeting bloating, constipation, PMS, sluggish digestion, and the estrogen dominance that so many women face. With a potent blend of diverse spore-based strains and no unnecessary fillers or synthetics, For Her helps restore balance from the inside out — so you can feel lighter, more energised, and finally in sync with your body again.
WHICH STRAINS OF BACTERIA ARE IN FOR HER?
The following probiotic strains have been used in the fermentation process and are cultured from food, not dairy, fecal matter or laboratory bred: Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Lactobacillus Delbrueckii, Lactobacillus Caseii, Lactobacillus Bulgaricus, Lactobacillus Caucasus, Lactobacillus Fermenti, Lactobacillus Plantarum, Lactobacillus Brevis, Lactobacillus Helveticus, Lactobacillus Leichmannii, Lactobacillus Lactis, Bifidabacterium Bifidum, Saccharomyces Boulardii, Saccharomyces Cerevisiae. NO DAIRY, GMO, COLOURS, FLAVOURS, PRESERVATIVES OR FILLERS.
WHAT MAKES FOR HER MORE THAN JUST PROBIOTICS?
For Her is wholefood nutrition in combination with pro and pre biotics.
HOW ARE THEY MADE?
By feeding organic food to a mother culture of good bacteria (probiotics) the food is then broken down, releasing the vitamins, minerals and amino acids for easier absorption, essential for good health and aiding the body to repair at the cellular level.
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES THIS MAKE?
Because we are not what we eat, we are what we absorb, it means we gain greater benefit from taking a quality wholefood probiotic. In addition, the probiotics are in their own food source, which means the good bacteria are alive and well. They lay dormant and are activated when taken, then multiply in the millions to assist in colonising the gut with essential probiotics.
WHAT IS A SUPERCULTURE?
For Her probiotics have been stressed to withstand heat (can survive up to 55ºC), stressed to withstand cold (can survive down to freezing) and stressed to a number of chemicals. This means these probiotics can withstand what others cannot. For example, even after opening they can be kept in a cool dark place. Making them perfect for travelling and easy storage.
HOW LONG DO THEY LAST?
As the label states at least two years, but batches as old as six years have been tested and shown to have almost the exact amount of probiotics as they did originally.
WHY DO I NEED THEM?
Every day our gut bacteria is compromised by pesticides, herbicides, chlorine, fluoride, pollution, stress and antibiotics. It’s essential to replenish our microbiome with the good bacteria daily if we come in contact with any of the above.
CAN I INCLUDE FOR HER IN MY COOKING?
You certainly can, because the probiotics in For Her have been heat stressed and will survive up to 55ºC degrees. They will survive in a loaf of baked bread. But if you are heating to more than 55ºC it’s not recommended and best to sprinkle over cooked food instead.
DO I NEED TO KEEP FOR HER REFRIGERATED?
Good question because many probiotics need to be refrigerated. For Her does not need refrigeration, simply store in a cool, dark place. The probiotics have been stressed to hot and cold so they will survive where others will not. One reason for this is that the probiotics (good bacteria) are lying dormant in the wholefood powder. They stay this way until the PH changes when you ingest the powder, once activated they multiply by the millions.
CAN I MIX FOR HER WITH ANYTHING OR ARE THERE SOME THINGS THAT DIMINISH THE NUTRITIONAL BENEFITS?
Most things are fine but if you are blending, best not mix in commercial/processed orange or lemon juice which may have high levels of ascorbic acid added. Freshly squeezed, 100% juices are ok.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO NOTICE THE PROBIOTICS WORKING?
This is a good question because there is more to For Her than the probiotics. Because the probiotics are food based there is a greater chance of these probiotics having additional benefits. They come with their own prebiotics and the nutritional value from the wholefood ingredients have been broken down to be easily absorbed. You may notice in just a few days the benefits from receiving nutrition at this higher level. The benefits are not only from the probiotics, the benefits come from the combination of pre released nutrients, vitamins, minerals and amino acids that are often not released in a compromised gut. One container is a great start but if you continue on them for a minimum of three months, you will really see the full benefit of taking For Her.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I TAKE TOO MUCH?
If your body is toxic or you are not in very good health, you will notice a reaction to the probiotic immediately. This is why it’s best for first time users to start with 1/8th of a teaspoon until they adjust to having nutrition at the level available in For Her. For example, if you have not had a good diet for a long time, or if you have a compromised digestive system, you may not have been getting the goodness from food for years. To have an over-consumption of nutrition after such a long time will have mild effects—such as loose stools—so best to always start small and work up to 1/2 teaspoon twice daily.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE THINGS I CAN DO TO MAKE THE ABSORPTION OF THE BENDS MOST BENEFICIAL?
Have some first thing in the morning and last thing at night. The morning one activates and the evening one assists you in going to bed with good nutrition and probiotics, to assist your body repairing whilst you sleep.
DO THE BLENDS HAVE A USE BY DATE AND HOW LONG WILL THEY LAST?
Unlike most probiotic supplements, For Her has an extremely long life span. We put two years on the label, but in truth they stay alive and vital for many years. We have tested ‘old’ stock on multiple occassions and found the bacteria count (probiotics) had virtually the same amount of good bacteria that they had when the product was made seven years prior. That means the product was good for over seven years and even product over its use by date is safe to use.
WHAT DOES IT TASTE LIKE?
Everyone has different taste, but to most the taste is similar to a strong Weetbix. But even if the taste is too much at first, because you only use such small quantities is it easily hidden in a smoothie or food.
IS FOR HER COMPLETELY GLUTEN FREE?
Every batch is tested for gluten. For Her reaches international standards for Gluten Free.
DO I HAVE TO MIX INTO A DRINK OR CAN I SPRINKLE THEM ON TOP OF MEALS OR MIX WITH RECIPES?
It makes no difference so either in or on food, mixed in drinks or straight off a spoon, you will still obtain the full benefit of the high nutrient bioavailability in For Her probiotic.
