Low in lactose

Lactose is a natural sugar found in dairy products. Many people, particularly adults, are unable to adequately break down and digest lactose. Lactose intolerance is the medical term for this condition. Lactic acid bacteria in fermented dairy foods, such as kefir and yogurt, convert lactose to lactic acid, making these meals substantially lower in lactose than milk.

They also include enzymes that can aid in the further breakdown of lactose. As a result, when compared to ordinary milk, kefir is often well accepted by persons with lactose sensitivity. Remember that you can prepare lactose-free kefir by using coconut water, fruit juice, or another non-dairy beverage.
