Our story...
Kefir Cymru is a family business from Y Felinheli, in Gwynedd, North Wales.
As a family of five persons we started to take cow’s milk kefir regularly in 2013. Over this period of time we have noticed many health benefits with one family member being able to stop taking all medication for an inflammatory bowel disease after several years.
As we couldn't get cow's milk kefir locally we started producing it ourselves, using local pasteurised non- homogenized milk.
The day to day management of Kefir Cymru is undertaken by Helen who, after a successful career in television production, has now turned her lifelong interest in nutrition into running the business.
How kefir boosts your health...
Kefir is a fermented milk drink full of good bacteria.
The human gut is a micro system of bacteria commonly called the “gut biome”. Left to itself, the gut biome will contain a healthy balance of immune supporting bacteria. However processed food, sugars, some medicines and stress can distort the balance in the biome and this in turn may be contributing to the rise of many auto-immune diseases in modern human populations.
Drinking cow’s milk kefir daily can help to restore bacterial diversity and balance in your gut biome and there is increasing evidence to suggest that the more diverse the bacteria in your biome the better it will be for your health.
Our kefir is made using live grains and local cow’s milk from Llaethdy Llŷn, Pwllheli. We believe that using local ingredients makes a superior kefir drink.
At Kefir Cymru, we believe in reducing the use of plastic, therefore your cow’s milk kefir will arrive in glass bottles.
If you are taking immunosuppressants or warfarin please seek medical advice before taking kefir. The effects of such medicines may conflict with how kefir affects the body.
