OHHH ALSO it CONTAINS FOS, which is extremely healthy !!
FOS, short for fructooligosaccharides, (or inulin) is a wonderful, natural dietary fiber derived from chicory roots. Consumed since the time of Hippocrates, FOS feeds and increases the level of ???good guy??? bifidobacteria by up to five times in the gastrointestinal tract. Clinical studies at the prestigious Dunn Nutrition Centre in Cambridge, England, and leading academic institutions in Europe and Japan have confirmed these powerful effects.
Minimum amounts of 1 g/day are recommended. Helios Nutrition???s kefir contains 2g/serving! Additionally, FOS provides an excellent source of dietary fiber. It has been shown to increase the absorption of calcium and other minerals by up to 40%. From a taste point of view, it increases the body and mouthfeel of our kefir, giving it a thick, full milkshake-like texture. Yet, it adds only 2 calories per gram.
