Coconut Kefir Water

Ingredients:

  • One packet of Kultured Wellness Kefir culture starter

  • So simple, just follow the instructions on the package and voila!

Coconut water kefir has the potential to increase beneficial short-chain fatty acid, and to increase Bifidobacterium genus abundance! There is some experimental evidence that certain bifidobacteria may actually protect the us from carcinogenic activity of intestinal flora. Whilst evidence is accumulating that short chain fatty acids play an important role in the maintenance of gut and metabolic health.

Microbial short chain fatty acid production is essential for gut integrity. They also directly modulate metabolic health through a range of tissue-specific mechanisms related to appetite regulation, energy expenditure, glucose homeostasis and immunomodulation. Therefore, an increased microbial SCFA production can be considered as a health benefit!!
