NextFoods International

NextFoods is a functional food and biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of probiotic products under the GoodBelly brand. Based in Boulder, Colorado, the company was founded by industry veterans Steve Demos and Todd Beckman to bring scientifically-backed digestive health solutions to the mainstream market. Their core technology involves the use of the Lactobacillus plantarum 299v strain, which is one of the most well-researched probiotic strains for gut health and immune support. NextFoods offers a variety of delivery formats, including juice drinks, concentrated shots, and shelf-stable supplements. In 2023, the company was acquired by The Hain Celestial Group, integrating its probiotic expertise into a global health and wellness platform.
