Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it called Good Wolf?

There’s an old story about the Good Wolf and the Bad Wolf living inside each of us. One represents truth, love, and kindness. The other represents dishonesty, hatred, and fear. 

Which Wolf wins? The one you feed. 

Our probiotic drinks feed your body and mind, and our company feeds the collective Good Wolf through our support of the EPIK Project.

What are probiotic drinks?

Probiotic drinks are fermented beverages that contain live probiotics. They’re fantastic for supporting gut health and improving digestion, and we know you’ll agree that Good Wolf is the best probiotic drink option out there — smooth, clean, and delicious.

Why do probiotics matter?

Because they make your gut happy! And when your gut’s happy, your brain and body are happy, too. Each can of Good Wolf contains two billion of the supplement-grade B. subtilis strain of probiotics.

What’s a functional drink?

Functional drinks are non-alcoholic beverages with added health benefits from bioactive compounds derived from plants and microorganisms. Good Wolf Probiotic Refreshers are functional drinks because each can contains at least two billion live probiotics and is infused with high-quality extracts of medicinal Lion’s Mane mushrooms.

What are adaptogens, and how do they work?

Adaptogens are herbs, plants, or fungi that help reduce your body’s response to stress and enhance your sense of well-being - and who couldn’t benefit from turning down the stress response dial a couple notches?

Good Wolf uses high-quality extracts of Lion’s Mane mushrooms in all our drinks. This adaptogen is high in antioxidants, helps ease stress, and as an added bonus, can improve memory, focus, clarity, and overall brain health.

What ingredients do you use? 

We’re proud to batch-ferment our probiotic drinks with live cultures (B Subtilis) using a base of:

  • Organic Pacific Northwest apple juice
  • Filtered water
  • Natural mineral salt from the mines of Utah

Then, we add: 

  • Organic figs 
  • Organic apple cider vinegar 
  • A variety of fresh + clean juices, herbs, spices and flavor extracts
  • High quality Lion’s Mane extract
  • Supplement-grade probiotics

Do Good Wolf probiotic drinks have electrolytes? 

They do! We use natural mineral salt from Utah’s salt mines in our fermentation process. As a result, our Refreshers contain trace minerals along with sodium and potassium, helping you stay hydrated more easily!

Do Good Wolf probiotic drinks have caffeine?

Nope! Unlike kombucha, Good Wolf Probiotic Refreshers are caffeine-free. This makes our probiotic drinks an ideal option for every age + every time of day. 

Did you know your bottle of kombucha can have almost as much caffeine as a cup of coffee?

Do your drinks have added sugar?

Nope! You can sip with confidence knowing that we never add sugar (or any artificial sweeteners) to our drinks. They’re naturally sweet from juices.

They’re a fantastic kombucha alternative because a bottle of kombucha can have up to 20 grams of added sugar!

Are your Refreshers non-alcoholic?

Yep! All of our Refreshers are classified as non-alcoholic at less than 0.5% Alcohol By Volume. (Did you know orange juice can have 0.5% ABV, too?)

Do they need to be refrigerated?

They do – BUT they’re pretty stable and can go a few days outside of the fridge.

Are your drinks pasteurized?

We gently heat-pasteurize Good Wolf to put the yeast to sleep. This process achieves two important outcomes:

  1. It makes the Refreshers more stable, allowing them to be stored in the fridge for up to a year and kept out of the fridge for a few days. 
  2. It halts the fermentation process, ensuring no alcohol can be produced in the can.

What’s the shelf life of Good Wolf?

They’ll be great for up to a year in your fridge!

What do Good Wolf Probiotic Refreshers taste like?

Super smooth, mildly carbonated, slightly sweet, and totally delicious, Good Wolf Probiotic Refreshers offer all the same health benefits of kombucha without any of that vinegar taste.

Made from a base of organic Pacific Northwest apple juice fermented with live cultures and sea salt, we add a variety of herbs, juices, and real, clean ingredients for four refreshing flavor combos: Hibiscus Lemon, Piña Colada, Marionberry, and Ginger Yuzu.

I don’t like kombucha – will I like Good Wolf?

Definitely!

If you’re all for the gut benefits of kombucha but don’t like the taste, you’ll love Good Wolf Probiotic Refreshers.

Lots of people find kombucha to be too overpowering – the tang, the extreme carbonation, the overly sweet or strong flavors. But you’ll find that Good Wolf is mildly carbonated, super smooth, slightly sweet, and full of flavor without being overwhelmingly acidic.

I love kombucha – will I like Good Wolf?

Absolutely! While you won’t get that trademark vinegar taste found in kombucha, you’ll still enjoy the fantastic flavors and probiotics, this time without added sugar or caffeine.

Plus, you get the added benefit of Lion’s Mane extract for a little decrease in stress and a boost in brain health!
