This is the question we get more than any other and we can never answer it on the spot, which frustrates people until we explain why.


Bloating after eating, bloating that hangs around all day, and bloating that arrives with pain point somewhere completely different. So do the versions that come and go with a cycle, and the versions that started three weeks ago versus three years ago.


Same word, four different pictures, four different conversations.


That is why you get questions back before you get a recommendation. We are not stalling and we are not upselling. We are trying to work out which of several very different situations you are in, because recommending the wrong thing wastes your money and your time.


The shelf reflects that. Probiotics add bacteria. Prebiotics feed the ones already there. Enzymes work on the meal itself. Fibres do something else again. They are not alternatives to each other, they are answers to different questions.


The important part first. If it is persistent, painful, or it came with any other change you have noticed, please see your GP before you buy anything at all. Some things need investigating rather than managing.


For everyone else, come and tell us which one you are.

There’s a reason mint tea has traditionally been the cup people reach for after a meal.

Mint has long been used to support digestion, particularly when you’re feeling overly full, heavy or uncomfortable after eating. The simple act of drinking something warm can also make it an easy addition to your after-meal routine.

TeaGood Digest is a loose-leaf mint and floral blend designed to support comfortable digestion after meals. With peppermint alongside rose petals, juniper berries, orange peel and caraway seeds, it’s a beautiful blend to have on hand when your digestive system could use a little support.

And because it’s loose leaf, you can easily adjust the strength and amount depending on how you like to drink it.

It’s also a nice reminder that supporting your wellbeing doesn’t always have to start with a complicated routine. Sometimes it can be as simple as putting the kettle on and giving yourself ten minutes.

And something we especially love about TeaGood: 100% of their net profit is donated to charities supporting health, wellbeing and environmental initiatives.

You’ll find this one alongside plenty of other herbal blends, single herbs and native Australian teas on our tea wall at The Nutrition Corner. Come in and have a look, or ask the team which blend might suit what you’re looking for. 🌿

Supplements aren’t a quick fix, and two weeks often isn’t enough time to decide whether something is working.

The science is a little more nuanced than “take it and feel a difference.”

How quickly a supplement has an effect depends on a number of factors, including:

• What you’re taking: different vitamins, minerals and other supplements work through different mechanisms.

• Your starting point: if you’re correcting a nutrient deficiency, your response may be different from someone whose levels are already adequate.

• The dose: taking the right amount matters. More isn’t necessarily better, and excessive amounts of some nutrients can be harmful.

• Consistency depending on the supplement and what you’re trying to achieve, regular use over time may be necessary.

• What you’re expecting to notice: not every effective supplement produces a feeling you can immediately notice. Sometimes the goal is correcting or maintaining nutrient levels rather than creating an obvious day-to-day sensation.

So, is 8–12 weeks the magic number?

Not necessarily.

There’s no universal timeline for supplementation. Some effects can occur relatively quickly, while others may take weeks or longer to assess.

The takeaway? Don’t judge every supplement by how you feel after a few days.

Know what you’re taking, why you’re taking it, what dose is appropriate and what a realistic timeframe looks like for that specific supplement.

And remember, supplements can interact with medications and may not be suitable for everyone. If you take medication, have a health condition, are pregnant, are preparing for surgery, or aren’t sure whether a supplement is appropriate for you, speak with a qualified health professional.

Not sure what supplements are right for you or how you should be taking them? Reach out to the Nutrition Corner team. We’d be happy to help you find the right approach for your needs.

Do I really need to take the full dosage on the label is a question we get all the time, and the answer is yes.

The recommended dosage is not picked at random. It is generally based on the amount used in research, the formulation of the product, and the amount required to actually deliver the intended effect.

If the label says three capsules a day and you are taking one, you are not really giving the supplement a fair chance. You might still be taking it every day, but you are getting a fraction of the intended dose and potentially a fraction of the benefit.

This matters even more when you are following a supplement protocol. The dosages are part of the plan. Taking half the recommended amount, skipping days, or changing the dosage yourself makes it difficult to know whether the protocol is actually working for you.

And then we get to the expensive part.

Buying a quality supplement and deliberately underdosing it because you want to make the bottle last longer can end up being a false economy. You spend the money, take it for weeks or months, and potentially never get the full effect you were taking it for in the first place.

So yes, take the dosage on the label, unless your doctor or another qualified health professional has advised you otherwise.

Otherwise, you are potentially wasting your money.

And, respectfully, wasting my time too 😝

People are often surprised that a health food shop sells water filters, and the reason is the same reason we sell cleaning products and cookware.

What you drink all day is worth as much attention as what you take once a day. Most Australians get through around two litres of tap water daily without ever thinking about what is in it.

When is a jug the right choice? When you want to start without plumbing anything. It sits in the fridge, needs no installation, and you can take it with you if you rent. Under-sink and whole-house systems exist for people who want to go further.

It is a really simple way to make sure the water you drink and put into your body has been filtered before it reaches your glass.

If you have been thinking about filtering your tap water but are not ready for a plumbed-in system, a filter jug is an easy place to start.

A day on the floor at The Nutrition Corner sounds a lot like this.

We hear all of it, every day, and we honestly love it. A question means someone has finally decided to do something about their health, and that is the first step to healthier living!

Which one have you asked us? Be honest below.

The thing almost nobody checks when buying magnesium is not the brand and it is not the price. It is the form.

And there are actually two things that word covers.

The first is what the magnesium is bound to.

Magnesium is never sold on its own, it is always attached to something else, and that changes how well it absorbs and how it sits with your digestion. Two bottles both saying magnesium can be completely different products.

GLYCINATE is bound to glycine, an amino acid. Well absorbed and the gentlest on digestion, which is where we usually land with anyone who has struggled with magnesium before.

CITRATE is bound to citric acid. Absorbs reasonably well and dissolves easily, which is why it turns up in so many powders. It has a noticeable effect on the bowel at higher doses and that catches people out.

OXIDE is the one in most supermarket multivitamins. Cheap, because very little of it is absorbed, and a good portion of what you swallow simply keeps moving through you. That is where magnesium's reputation for being harsh comes from.

L-THREONATE is one of the newer ones and one of the most asked about right now. MALATE is bound to malic acid. MARINE forms are drawn from seawater.

The second thing form means is what it physically comes as, and that matters more than people expect.

Powders let you adjust the amount and mix it into a drink. Capsules and tablets are the simplest to take consistently. Gummies suit anyone who has decided they are done with pills. Sprays and flakes go on the skin rather than in you. And it turns up inside a lot of combination products where you might not think to look for it.

So if magnesium has not agreed with you before, or you felt nothing at all, it is very often a form problem rather than a magnesium problem. Either the wrong binding, or a format you were never going to keep up.
