1. Your gut microbiome changes in perimenopause
Researchers now know that as oestrogen declines, so does the diversity of bacteria in your gut. Moodi's blend delivers 19 billion clinically studied probiotics per scoop, exactly when your gut needs the backup.
2. Most probiotics never make it past your stomach
It's the dirty secret of the supplement aisle. Stomach acid wipes out most strains before they reach the gut, which is where they're supposed to do the work. Moodi uses LactoSpore®, a spore-forming strain studied for its ability to actually survive the journey.
3. Meet your hormone middleman: the estrobolome
Tucked inside your gut is a community of bacteria called the estrobolome, and it helps your body process oestrogen. When your microbiome is thriving, it does its job. When it isn't, things can feel a little off. Moodi's 2-in-1 formula combines pre + probiotics to keep yours fed.
4. The bloat is real, but it doesn't have to be
Perimenopause does strange things to digestion, like sudden sluggishness or sensitivites. It's one of the most common complaints women bring to their GPs, and one of the least talked about. Moodi was made for exactly this: a daily ritual designed to settle things from the inside out.
5. The supplement women genuinely love
Over 150,000 women across New Zealand and Australia have fallen in love with Moodi's Pre + Probiotic Blend. From how it makes them feel to how delicious and easy it is, it's no wonder it has 4,500 5-star reviews!

"Gut health is fundamental to women's wellbeing, yet it's often overlooked."
"In clinic, I see how strongly the gut influences how women feel day to day. I often see products targeting isolated symptoms without addressing the system-level imbalances.
Moodi moves beyond a quick-fix approach and instead supports key physiological systems involved in gut and overall health, particularly the microbiome and gut–brain axis.
The products not only being palatable but enjoyable is an important factor — compliance is a key determinant of clinical outcomes."

Answers to your questions
What is a Functional Pre + Probiotic Blend?
It’s a supplement designed to support normal gut health, stress and balanced mood in all one refreshing blend, with a hint of real fruit!
Is it designed for women in perimenopause and menopause?
Moodi's Pre + Probiotic Blends are designed to support gut health, digestion, and the gut–brain connection — which becomes especially important during perimenopause and menopause as the microbiome naturally shifts. The clinically studied probiotics and prebiotic fibre in every scoop support a thriving gut at any life stage.
What is the gut-brain connection?
Your gut is your second brain. The two are closely connected by a communication pathway called the ‘gut-brain axis’. Signals flow in both directions and influence mood, emotions, and even cognitive function. Changes in the gut can affect how you feel mentally and vice versa. This blend contains two clinically proven probiotics for the gut-brain axis, supporting stress and mood balance.
How do I know if it's right for me?
Everything starts with the gut. Whether you want to overcome digestive discomfort, relieve bloating, support stress, or balance mood, these blends provide your gut with probiotics and prebiotics in one easy scoop to help you feel your best.
Why is fibre so important during perimenopause and menopause?
Fibre supports digestion, regularity, blood sugar balance and feeds the good bacteria in your gut, which all become more important and oestrogen declines. Yet most women aren't getting enough. Each scoop of Moodi delivers 7g of prebiotic fibre, which is about one quarter of your daily needs.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
You can take our Pre + Probiotic blends while pregnant or breastfeeding. We recommend one dose per day.
Is this safe for kids?
It's suitable for teens over 13, for younger children, our Naturopath recommends a 1/2 dose.
Can I take this alongside other Moodi supplements?
Yes, you can! These active ingredients differ from our other blends, so you will get additional benefits taking this too.
Can I take this with just water?
Yes, you can! The Pre + Probiotic blends are designed to be added to a glass of water. We recommend enjoying chilled or with ice.
What time of day should I have this?
You can take the Pre + Probiotic blends at any time of day that works best for you, it won't impact effectiveness.
No sugar? Why use monkfruit?
Monk fruit provides all of the sweetness of sugar without the blood sugar spike or calories. Plus, it's suitable for people with diabetes!
Is Moodi allergen friendly?
Moodi contains vegan and gluten-free ingredients. However, trace elements of milk, gluten, wheat, soy, sulphites, sesame, cashew and hazelnuts may be present.
Are Moodi tubs recyclable?
