The Superior of Probiotics
Coconut is a superfood on its own, promoting a healthy immune system, regulating thyroid function, and has been shown to improve brain and memory function. Derived from coconuts and kefir grains, Coconut Kefir is one of the best probiotics around. Its benefits optimize the health of the gut flora and improves functioning of the digestive system by defending against harmful bacteria. It contains more beneficial strains and organisms than dairy-based kefir, or any yogurt. These probiotics enhance nutrition while keeping your gut happy, making it the perfect addition to your daily diet.
