Meet your microbes

Lacy the Lactobacillus is a legend at absorbing nutrients, helping to break down food and fight off bad organisms that might cause you harm.


Bax the Bacteroide protects you from pathogens (That’s Bad bacteria and viruses) and supplies good food to the other team members in our gut.


Meet Pat the Prevotella! Pat is a PRO at breaking down carbohydrates. This helps our body process nutrients and store sugar.

Obi the Rhizobia isn’t actually found in our gut, but Obi helps the vegetable foods grow, which are super important to our teammates.
Welcome to the Kidzone!
Get ready to explore the incredible ecosystem of the gut, where trillions of microbes work hard to keep you healthy.
We desperately need a generational shift in gut health here in NZ. The gut microbiome, which forms in the first three years of life, is crucial to long-term health. That’s why teaching kids about gut health is more important than ever. As parents and educators, we need to lay the foundations for lifelong wellbeing early on.
From exploring the fascinating world of microbes to understanding how digestion works, Kidzone helps kids grasp why a healthy gut is vital to their overall health. Empower the next generation of kiwis with the knowledge they need to grow strong and make healthy choices.
