Vaalia’s new range of all-natural, lactose-free Probiotic Kefir Yoghurt has no added sugar and a boost of billions of gut-friendly bacteria in just one tub.
The traditional drinking format of kefir has been transformed into a creamy, spoonable yoghurt.
Dietician Jaime Rose Chambers said Vaalia’s Probiotic Kefir was an easy, cost-effective, and all-natural way of incorporating a diverse range of gut-friendly bacteria without the need for a supplement.
Made using 14 active strains of gut-friendly bacteria, it offers more bacteria strains than standard yoghurts, and includes probiotics to boost digestion and immunity.
“One of the most important things you can do to improve gut health is have a diversity of healthy probiotic bacteria every day. A healthy gut ensures healthy digestion and bowel function, digestion and absorption of nutrients from our food and, better immunity.
“Studies have also shown links between gut health and mental health, autoimmune diseases, heart health, hormone disorders, skin conditions and some cancers,” Chambers said.
The range includes five flavours – Plain, Vanilla, Strawberry, Mixed Berry, and Mango.
“A healthy microbiome is one that has a high number of different strains of gut friendly bacteria.
“The more diverse the gut bacteria, the better able they are at supporting gut health functions. The way we get the diversity of strains of bacteria is by eating a range of plant foods including fruits, vegetables, wholegrains, nuts, seeds, legumes, and lentils as well as eating probiotic-rich foods every day, such as Vaalia’s Probiotic Kefir Yoghurt,” Chambers said.
Vaalia Probiotic Kefir range is available at Woolworths and independent supermarkets for a RRP of $5.80 (700g) and $2.30 (150g).
