It’s the combo punch that improves gut health

Reading time: 1 minute

What to improve your gut health?  A combination of kefir with a prebiotic could be the most effective way to go.

It’s all to do with the synergy of the combination, and it outperforms individual remedies such as omega-3 supplements and fiber in reducing inflammatory proteins in the gut.

Researchers at the University of Nottingham in the UK tested three different supplements on a group of volunteers for six weeks, and the combination of kefir and a diverse prebiotic fiber mix—a supplement from the Chuckling Goat company—was the most effective in reducing inflammatory markers.

The combination encouraged the growth of compounds such as butyrate, which has anti-inflammatory and immune regulating effects throughout the body.
