Welo

As seen on Dragons’ Den, Welo (short for We Love) is a Waterloo-based company founded by millennials in 2016. Recognizing the powerful benefits of a daily probiotic, Welo has since created over 15 locally-made bar and beverage varieties that offer all the functionalities of probiotics in a convenient and delicious way.

Its probiotic bars come in both a kids size which contain one day’s worth of probiotics (1 billion live cultures) and a full-size which contain 3 billion live cultures. They are vegan, non-gmo, kosher, nuts/peanuts/corn/soy free and don’t need to be refrigerated, making them the perfect on-the-go-snack for you and your little ones. The kids bars come in school-safe, peanut-free varieties and contain only 2-3 grams of sugar to leave the kiddos feeling energized without the sugar rush. 

Probiotics don’t just help your gut, they also improve brain development, heart health, vitamin/protein absorption, and can even help to fight off infections. Backed by over 20 clinical studies and with over 70% survivability, Welo’s probiotics can be trusted to get the job done.

“We believe in creating super awesome products that do super good things for your body and make a super big difference worldwide. That’s why proceeds from every purchase go towards food, water, or education projects in Kikima, Kenya.”
