Kefir, a drink fermented naturally in bags made of animal hides, originated in the Causasus mountains in the former Soviet Union. It has been consumed for thousands of years and has a long tradition of health benefits. A study examined the effect of kefir focussing on the symptoms of functional chronic constipation where the participants drank kefir twice a day for a month. The results indicated that there was an improvement in participants’ stool frequency and consistency and hastened transit of the stool through the colon.

Scientific studies prove that there are many health benefits of kefir, such as, playing an anti-inflammatory role within the body, is an excellent source of many important vitamins, amino acids and minerals, helps to ward off harmful bacteria, helps to support the immune system and promotes healing and enhances intestinal health.

Not only does Kefir improve bowel movement significantly, it also improves digestion, constipation and diarrhoea, promotes a favourable balance in the large intestine, reduces lactose intolerance, enhances calcium absorption and improves stool consistency.

Another clinical study done by National Cheng Kung University Hospital Department of Medicine in Taiwan demonstrated that AB – Kefir was able to shorten times of constipation, reduce the symptoms associated with constipation and reduce abdominal pain, flatulence and diarrhoea. MiBiotix Regular RM supports the microflora balance in the gut by maintaining a healthy intestine keeping harmful bacteria and yeasts in the gut under control as well as producing regular bowel movements and reducing symptoms associated with constipation and diarrhoea.
