                                Recent research indicates that certain probiotic strains within kefir have evolved unique mechanisms that enhance their survival in the harsh, acidic conditions of the stomach. This resilience is key to understanding how the bacteria in kefir survive stomach acid and deliver health benefits to the gut.
