Probiotics, also known as good bacteria, are live microorganisms that help keep the body healthy and functioning properly. Directly translated from Greek and Latin, probiotic means “for life”.

Some of the actions of probiotics in the body:
-    Help digest food
-    Keep bad bacteria from growing, which otherwise could lead to infection
-    Make vitamins, including vitamin K and the family of B-vitamins
-    Support the cells that line the GI tract by acting as a barrier to prevent bad bacteria from entering the blood
-    Help turn immune cells on and off when needed
-    Help metabolize food and convert it to energy for the body to use or store for later
-    Increase the absorption of certain nutrients

No. Probiotics can be found in certain fermented foods like kefir, yogurt, kombucha, sauerkraut, pickles, miso, tempeh, and kimchi, as well as in pill form. These foods can vary greatly in their number and variety of strains of bacteria - which address different issues in the body - and in the number of CFUs (colony forming units), which is the number of bacterial cells that are viable or ‘live’.

Higher CFU counts increase the chances that a meaningful number of bacteria will flourish in your digestive system.

Delicious, creamy, and not too tart!

Yes. The certified regenerative grass pastures that our cows graze on are more nutrient dense - translating in milk and kefir that has comparatively more nutrients, especially omega-3 fatty acids, which play several important roles in the body. They are an essential building block of the brain, eyes, and cell membranes (a cell’s outer wall), and have been shown to help prevent a number of chronic diseases, including heart disease and stroke.

Yes, our kefir is up to 99% lactose-free and both A1 protein- and gluten-free.

Yes. The milk is vat pasteurized (low and slow) before the probiotics are added.

No. It is non-homogenized, so be sure to give it a good shake!
