Hi there longecity, why is there no thread on Kefir? It is one of the few things out of everything i've tried that has done good to me. My gut is a lot less shittier in only a few days of drinking kefir, more energy, less sore joints, improved mood.

I have waterkefir grains which i feed water and sucranat and a bit of eggshell. I have milkkefir grains from two different sources that i use together, first fed them pasteurized full fat milk and now raw unpasteurized.
What i want to see in this thread is instructions to get the most potent, healthiest kefirs.

Some questions to get started:

-Does the fermenting of any milk (a1/a2/pasteurized/etc.) with kefirgrains destroy the culprits such as bcm7, galactose, etc.?

-what are the most optimal fruits or other additives to add for first or second fermentation?

-which kefirgrains are the best?

-can we improve kefirgrains? Like somehow add new yeasts and bacteria to them.

Ok, so the lactose gets converted into probiotics by the kefir culture..

Kefir has done wonders for my physical and mental health. Out of all the supplements and health interventions that get bounced around the longevity community, kefir gets none of the love nor respect it deserves.
