Sparkling Live Probiotic Kefir 750ml – Yogi Nectar

Description Why our live Probiotics are so powerful Choosing Kefir for its billions of Probiotic Strains Can be an ultra powerful way to restore the beneficial micro-organisms you were born with. The health giving benefits of probiotics are attributed to the character of specific strains. Probiotic strains need to be resilient to survive in the intestinal tract they are living in. The probiotic strains have to withstand human gastric acid in order to make it to the intestinal tract. They also need to be able to withstand human intestinal fluids, and they must be able to colonise the human intestinal tract to be effective as beneficial bacteria. The Lactobacillus probiotic strains found in Yogi Nectar are not only at home in a human gut microbiota but they are often found in a healthy human gut from birth. Yogi Nectar water kefir products consist of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) that include billions of Lactobacillus, L.fermentum and L.plantarum as well as Sporolactobacillus inulinus all beneficial strains that help maintain balance to and restore the human gut microbiome. Now that’s powerful! What’s the difference between Kefir and Kombucha? We are often asked what is the difference between Kefir and Kombucha… Yogi Nectar water kefir is produced by the microbial activity of kefir ‘grains’ (live starter cultures), which have a symbiosis containing over 60 species of lactic and acetic acid bacteria. Some yeast, raw sugar and water is added and the resultant fermentation yields billions of Lactobacillus strains (known to live comfortably within the gastric acid and intestinal juices of the human gut). Kombucha on the other hand, is made from either a green or black tea base. Added to that is sugar, which has been fermented with a type of “tea fungus” called a symbiotic culture of acetic acid (vinegar) and yeast, or SCOBY, for one to two weeks. Generally Kombucha will not contain Lactobacillus strains. It generally contains caffeine as a byproduct of the tea used.
