Kefir drink? Good for health?

HiEveryone, I just heard about a drink called Kefir probiotic, it's suppose to be good for everything from building your immune system to yeast infection. I have done a little research on it, however, was interested in finding out if all the claims they make about it could possibily be true. Would be very grateful to hear from you. Thank You!

Re: Kefir drink? Good for health?

I drink it and I also give it to my toddler daughter, we use this for prevention in addition to many others things. I am rarely sick and in her 2.5 years of life she has yet to get sick or even a cold or runny nose.

Re: Kefir drink? Good for health?

Thank You Alexa, that is so great to know, reading the info on it, they mentioned to start out slowly because of your body getting use to it. I know there are more and different good bacteria in comparison to yoghurt, my immune system is somewhat compromised due to back surgery and was concerned to introduce it to something knew at this time. Thank You for your response! Blessings!

Re: Kefir drink? Good for health?

I wanted to mention that I never started out eating/drinking it slowly, neither has mu toddler. It will be great to build up your immune system naturally after surgery.
