                                Kefir can contain up to 50-100 strains of beneficial bacteria and yeast, making it a potent probiotic powerhouse compared to yogurt. With such a powerful effect, it's natural to wonder if you can simply start drinking it without any preparation or if a more gradual method is needed.
