One of the most significant benefits of water kefir is its rich probiotic content which helps suppress inflammatory responses. While yogurt may be the most well-known source of probiotics in the modern diet, water kefir is actually considered a better source, as it provides a diverse range of bacteria and yeast. which is antibiotic free. In fact, some research shows that kefir grains may contain up to 56 different bacterial and yeast strains including Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, Streptococcus and Leuconostoc … while yogurts rarely have more than 5 strains and most have only 2 or 3 strains - plus may be hindered by the antibiotic treatments which were given to the diary animals in the first place!
