🧠 Gut-Brain Connection: Calm Your Mind From the Inside Out

A healthy gut is the foundation of a healthy brain—and certain microbes in kefir soda help support this powerful connection.

⭐ Bifidobacterium longum

• Reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression
• Strengthens the intestinal barrier (important for leaky gut)
• Supports healthy immune responses
• Improves digestion and reduces inflammation

Studies show it’s reduced in people with poor metabolic health, chronic inflammation, and even after antibiotic use. Drinking kefir soda can help replenish it daily.

💪 Defense Against Harmful Pathogens

Kefir soda is packed with protective strains that actively fight off harmful invaders.

🛡 Leuconostoc mesenteroides

• Found in sauerkraut and kefir grains
• Inhibits pathogens like E. coli and even viruses like H1N1
• Boosts immune resilience and initiates fermentation

🔬 Lactobacillus delbrueckii

• Enhances nutrient absorption
• Prevents diarrhea and supports IBS relief
• Closely related to L. bulgaricus and L. lactis

🦠 Beneficial Yeast with Powerful Perks

Most probiotic drinks contain only bacteria. Kefir soda is special—it also contains probiotic yeast, and it’s a game-changer.

✨ Saccharomyces boulardii

• Survives stomach acid and resists antibiotics
• Fights Candida by reducing gut pH
• Clears harmful microbes by binding to them and removing them
• Used for C. diff, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and traveler's diarrhea
• Improves gut lining integrity and reduces inflammation

Note: S. boulardii feeds on sugar during fermentation, lowering sugar content and increasing probiotic count. Drink it between meals or with low-sugar meals for best results.

🍇 What About the Sugar in Kefir Soda?

One of the things I love most about kefir soda is how the good bacteria and yeasts consume the natural sugars during fermentation. After just 4 days of fermenting with our Kefir Soda Starter, the sugar content drops by about 82%—and you can really taste the difference! The longer it sits in the fridge, the less sweet it becomes as the microbes keep working, turning your soda into a lightly tart, bubbly probiotic drink.

Here’s the estimated nutrition for 1 cup (240 ml) of kefir soda made from 100% grape juice after fermentation:

• Calories: 27
• Carbohydrates: 6.48 g
• Sugar: 6.12 g
• Protein: 0.5 g
• Fat: 0 g
• Vitamin C: 20% DV
• Potassium: 250 mg

So you still get the nutrients from the juice—like vitamin C and potassium—but with far less sugar and a lot more probiotic power.

🍾 Does Kefir Soda Contain Alcohol?

Like many fermented foods, kefir soda does contain a small amount of naturally occurring alcohol. Because we dilute the juice with water before fermenting, it changes how the fermentation process works—and helps keep the alcohol content low.

We’ve tested our kefir soda and found that, just like kombucha, it typically contains between 0.5% and 1.2% alcohol. However, this can vary based on several factors, such as the type of juice used, the duration of fermentation, and even the temperature of your home.

Measuring alcohol in bubbly, fermented drinks is tricky. Carbonation can interfere with testing tools like hydrometers by making the meter float higher than it should—resulting in an artificially high reading. In some cases, naturally occurring acids and sediment can also be mistaken for ethanol, leading to misleading test results.

We are continuing to work with our labs to obtain the most accurate readings possible. However, based on current testing and fermentation standards, kefir soda falls within the same range as kombucha.

📦 Easy to Make and Customize

All you need is:

• 1 packet Kefir Soda Starter (or ½ cup from a previous batch)
• 2 cups 100% fruit juice or coconut water (look for one with 28+ grams of carbs to feed the microbes and ensure a bubbly ferment)
• 2 cups filtered or spring water (do not use distilled)
•  32-ounce thick glass bottle made for brewing 

Ferment 3–5 days at room temperature. Pop the top daily to release the pressure (so it won't explode), then enjoy cold and bubbly!

Bonus: You can reculture with ½ cup of finished soda to start your next bottle. It ferments faster the second time—ready in as little as 12 hours!
