Health Benefits & Detox Power
Probiotics & gut‑brain‑microbiota support
Kefir delivers a powerful dose of probiotics to live good bacteria that support your gut‑brain‑microbiota axis and immunity function. Studies show a strong association between kefir consumption and improved digestion, reduced food allergies, and modulation of the microbiome, even when antibiotic usage or individual health conditions have reduced diversity of healthy gut bacteria in early years or school age years.
Prebiotics + probiotics synergy for digestion
This recipe also taps into prebiotic food sources non‑living, non‑digestible carbohydrates from fruits and greens that probiotics feed on to remain actively working. Together, prebiotics and probiotics balance your digestive system, promote natural functions, and help regulate your gastrointestinal tract for better digestion and a stronger immune system.
Antioxidants, chlorophyll, vitamins & minerals boost
Spinach, parsley, spirulina powder, and chlorella powder pack in antioxidants, chlorophyll, and key nutrients Vitamins A, D, E, Vitamin K, calcium, iron levels, phosphorus to support bone health, nervous system function, and help your body absorb nutrients for lasting wellness. The refreshing citrus and spicy taste of ginger add freshness and aid in detoxification, while studies suggest chlorophyll may help neutralize toxins.
