Why Store-bought Kefir is not nearly as beneficial as our Kefir made from Pure Organic Kefir Grains: (Buyer beware of probiotic scams! If it doesn’t say
“made from live kefir grains”, then it is not real kefir.)
Home-made Kefir from live Kefir grains is far superior to the bottled kind you can buy at health food stores. As
a matter of fact, the store-bought kefir is made so differently than the homemade kind, that it isn’t real kefir at
all, but a weak derivative. Commercial Kefir is made from either a freeze dried powdered form of the culture,
or from a culture made from a culture, which means it has considerably less healing power. Then it must be
pasteurized, which kills the living microorganisms. They put additives in it such as "natural” undefined flavors,
and then add a little commercial “probiotic” to try and replace what was killed by the pasteurization process so
they can label it a probiotic. Totally not the same and not as beneficial as the real traditionally made kefir.
For example: studies have shown that commercial kefir not made with live kefir grains did nothing to lower
bad cholesterol, while the real kefir made using live kefir grains lowered bad cholesterol levels significantly.
The reason why is:
The homemade kefir contains billions of friendly organisms per millilitre, and the organisms are alive and
actively reproducing right up until the kefir is consumed along with ample amounts of kefiran and variations of
the polysaccharide. Commercial kefir does not contain anywhere near the different types of organisms
including yeasts as does kefir prepared with live kefir grains. Certain strains of organisms in the kefir grains
cannot be cultured once they are separated from the microflora. Hence, these organisms are not found in
artificial kefir-starters, or in commercial kefir. We simply do not yet know how to create these organisms. What
their requirements are, and how they interact with the rest of the microflora remains a mystery to scientists and
dairy technologists. (http://www.orhaolam.com/uploads/KefirInShort.pdf)
