Are probiotics in yogurt and kefir really beneficial to your health?
Posted by: Alan in Probiotics, tags: Beneficial, Health, Kefir, Probiotics, Really, Yogurt
Is there any concrete research that these cultured dairy drinks are useful to human health? Are supplements from a health food store just as effective? Can some probiotic supplements be harmful to anyone?

I believe so. The enzymes and probiotics help with your body’s natural flora. That’s what my wife and mother-in-law say; but I like to eat it because they taste good. Try Brown Cow cream on top (maple or vanilla):o)

Yes they are very beneficial in the digestion of food,especially if you have been on antibiotics.The cultures in yogurt help to replace the bacteria destroyed by the antibiotics.These bacteria are what break down the food in your stomach and are VERY important in the digestive process.

Empirical evidence aside, I have approached the capsule supplement versus cultured drinks question by reading the product labels. From my personal experiences, some probiotic drinks claim there are considerably more microflora in their cultured solutions than found in capsular supplements and for that reason I have favored those. However, whether or not this is really true and whether or not this is actually beneficial remains to be more clearly seen. Despite this, whenever I have taken probiotics I have noticed a change and have almost always felt better when experiencing gastrointestinal complaints.

No probiotic is unhealthy..go to a health food store and buy acidollplous and bifidous look for a strong dosage in a refridgerator…probiotics must be in the fridge to stay alive..yogurt and kefir do not supply enough, but some, of what the body needs..children, adults and the elderly benefit from taking probiotics

yes yogurt is good for your health but if exercise gets too hard for you you have to stop doing it because if you faint for exercise over pass you are going to the hospital buddy lol

they can be harmful but if you have had antibiotics for a few weeks eat yogurt and cottage cheese

Yes they are healthy. They are not found in supplement form. Think about it, they are called LIVE cultures. A pill is not a living organism. I eat yogurt often to regularize my system. An occcasional fast is also healthy, but nothing drastic that will hurt you. Don’t skip breakfast in the name of health – it isn’t healthy.
