Ditch the energy drink and get yourself moving with a natural alternative. Our Kefir Adrenal Cocktail is loaded with the nutrients to help fuel your body for the day ahead. It starts with Lifeway Kefir, which packs in vitamin D, protein, and pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) — all of which may help put a little pep in your step. Next, we add collagen, which contains the amino acid glycine that helps to convert glucose into energy. And let’s not forget the power of orange juice, which is an excellent source of vitamin C, known to support the immune system and combat fatigue.
The Benefits of Cultured Dairy for Better Health:
Research continues to show the importance of eating healthy foods, including cultured dairy such as kefir, for better gut health, a strong immune system, and to support the microbiome. Fermented foods like kefir hold important value in this line of research due to the link between the gut-brain axis and overall health. Specifically, kefir has been shown to help diversify the microbiome, improve digestion, reduce inflammation, support healthier blood sugar levels, and improve satiety since the bioavailable protein it contains triggers the release of GLP-1.
Lifeway Kefir also contains a variety of nutrients that are vital for healthy bones and overall health: vitamin D3, K, calcium, and vitamin B12. Along with our kefir, we also offer our artisan-made Farmer Cheese, a creamy high-protein cheese made with live and active cultures to support a healthy microbiome that’s easy to spread and contains no added salt for optimal heart-health benefits.
