Kefir is a cultured, fermented drink with powerful benefits for gut health. Similar to its sister-beverage, Kombucha, Kefir is made using a natural ‘starter culture’ that combines yeast, protein and healthy bacteria which when fermented produces a probiotic beverage rich in beneficial bacteria.
80% of your immune system is located in the digestive tract, so getting the right balance of gut bacteria is key to your overall health. An imbalance can lead to weight gain, insulin resistance, inflammation in your body’s systems, bowel disease and even colorectal cancer.
