Powerful probiotic

When consumed, some microbes can be good for one's health. Probiotics are microorganisms that may benefit health in a variety of ways, including digestion, weight control, and mental wellness. Although yogurt is the most well-known probiotic meal in the Western diet, kefir is a considerably more effective source. Kefir grains can contain up to 61 different types of bacteria and yeasts, making them an extremely rich and diverse probiotic source, though this diversity varies. Other fermented dairy products include no yeasts and are manufactured from significantly fewer strains.

Kefir contains probiotics that are thought to defend against illnesses. This includes the kefir-specific probiotic Lactobacillus kefiri. This probiotic has been shown in studies to suppress the growth of a variety of dangerous bacteria, including Salmonella, Helicobacter pylori, and E. coli. Kefiran, a type of carbohydrate found in kefir, is also antimicrobial.
