Healthy gut, happy life!
| August 1, 2018We believe that you can transform your health & happiness via gut health.
The gut is said to be the 2nd brain, its responsible for producing 90% of your serotonin and makes up 80% of immune your system. All of our products are designed to optimise gut health, but we’re especially excited about our coconut water kefir with added amino acids.
The science:
Kefir is a naturally fermented drink, containing probiotics. Kefir is traditionally made with milk, but we use coconut water so that our offering is dairy free and provides you with electrolytes, alongside probiotics & the benefits of our amino acids.
Why amino acids?
Amino acids are often called the “building blocks” of protein because when amino acids get assembled together, they form a protein.
We get different forms of amino acids from different protein sources in our diets, however with our modern diet, a lot of people lack the variety and quality of protein to be getting enough essential amino acids.
Consume this kefir with amino acids to bio-hack your way to optimal wellness.
Mood
L-Theanine: Counters anxiety & enhances sleep.
L-Trytophan gets converted into serotonin in the body-the happy hormone, which is present in both kefir and the aminos.
Energy & concentration
Kefir is a source of several B vitamins, which are needed for a wide variety of health purposes. Your brain, nerves, mood and energy levels all need B vitamins to function properly. B vitamins are also the key players in a biochemical process call methylation, which is needed for optimal immune function.
Gut health
L-Glutamine is an amino acid that’s helpful in healing a damaged gut, and is a key component to helping repair a leaky gut, whilst also stabilizing the immune system and helps against stress, depression and anxiety.
Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens M1, a specific bacteria strain from the kefir grain culture, has been shown to help in colitis cases by balancing the immune system and calming inflammation in the body.
Immunity & general health
L-lysine-This amino acid helps fight viruses- cold sores and mouth ulcers can be a thing of the past if you’re achieving your RDA.
If you have enough C and lysine, you can make ample amounts of procollagen that then gets converted to the different types of collagen to help enhance your skin and appearance.
Coconut kefir contains vital minerals that hydrate the body on a cellular level, including potassium, sodium, chlorides, calcium and magnesium, whilst supplying you with probiotics help maintain a healthy gut and 80% of our immune support resides in our gut.
We offer 500ml drinks available in piña colada, cherry and peach flavour.
