What is Kefir?

Lifeway Kefir is tart and tangy cultured milk that is rich in probiotics, protein, calcium, and vitamin D. Thanks to our exclusive blend of kefir cultures, each cup of Lifeway Kefir contains 12 live and active probiotics.

The list of health benefits associated with probiotic-rich foods, like Lifeway kefir, grows consistently year after year. Kefir is one of the best cultured foods to enjoy and is easy to use. Here are some of our favorite reasons we love it!

TOP 9 REASONS TO ENJOY LIFEWAY KEFIR:

1
PROBIOTICS
Probiotics are live microorganisms that may provide health benefits when consumed in adequate amounts. The benefits of these good bacteria may include supporting immunity and a healthy digestive system.
2
Immunity
The probiotics in kefir may help support a healthy gut, where 70-80 percent of the cells that make up the immune system are located.
3
Healthy Weight
Kefir is high in protein, which increases satiety and reduces hunger cravings throughout the day.
4
Skin
Kefir contains Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), a popular ingredient in skin care products.
5
Digestion
The live and active probiotic cultures found in kefir may help support digestion.
6
Protein
An 8 oz serving of Lifeway Kefir contains 10-13 grams of natural protein, depending on the variety, making it a great source of bioavailable protein.
7
Lactose Digestion
Our unique fermentation process and specific kefir cultures ensure Lifeway Kefir is up to 99 percent lactose-free and suitable for most people who are lactose intolerant. We also offer lactose-free varieties of Lifeway Kefir.
8
Mood
Kefir is a complete source of protein and contains all essential amino acids, including tryptophan, an amino acid responsible for helping the body produce serotonin in the brain for a healthy, balanced mood.
9
Bone Density
An 8-ounce serving of Lifeway Kefir provides 30% of your daily calcium needs along with vitamin D3, making Lifeway Kefir a great source of both of these nutrients to support bone density.
