Kefir
contains live active cultures of normal flora that can repopulate the digestive
tract. Kefir is superior to yoghurt because it is made with transient, less
potent bacteria. The bacteria in yoghurt will last a few days in the digestive
tract, and you need to keep reintroducing them.
Kefir contains more organisms than yoghurt, and the "normal flora" in
kefir is made of very strong strains of micro organisms (unlike yoghurt). Kefir
will repopulate the digestive tract with good organisms. It is considered to be
a more natural way to add good bacteria to the digestive tract, and these
strains are superior to any capsules which might contain organisms that have
been dried. The cultures on kefir are active and growing when they enter the
body. They thrive in dairy and use up the lactose and partially digest the
proteins, making it a product that most people can ingest and benefit from. Even
people with milk sensitivities can usually drink kefir.
