Why kefir is good for you?

Kefir is good for you as it contains calcium which contributes to the normal function of digestive enzymes. The microbiome has such a significant impact on your health it is now considered its own organ, according to microbiome expert Dr. Dmitry Alexeev, lead researcher for Atlas Biomed.

Kefir has been proven by Aberystwyth University to have ‘non-transient bacteria’ which survives the digestive process.

Kefir contains vitamin A, which contributes to the normal function of your immune system. 70% of your immune system resides in the gut, and the health of the gut microbiome has been associated with the following health issues:
