Their website should direct you.
We have it now at Kroger's and Costco here.

They have a coupon you can get once a month on that site too.
I've been doing my CE all month and today, I had PROBIOTICS!
How timely.
The kefir from Lifeway has about the same organisms as the
preferred product, VSL #3 which is recommended by doctors.
http://www.vsl3.com/
The Kefir has more strains than VSL#3 however, and is off by one of the strains (not included).
This is a short list of what they do:
Quote:
Probiotics interact with the intestinal epithelial cells to induce protective proteins and regulate apoptosis (cell death); compete with pathogenic bacteria for both binding sites on the intestinal wall and for nutrients; enact bacteriocidal actions, including lowering intestinal pH by producing lactic, acetic, and/or propionic acids, as well as organic acids, bacteriocins, and hydrogen peroxide; and modulate inflammatory signaling systems, including enhancing phagocytic activity, producing immunoglobulin A, and stimulating cytokine production.
Probiotics produce short chain fatty acid metabolites that play roles in fermentation, which aid digestion.
Probiotics synthesize vitamins, especially vitamin K and those in the B vitamin group.
Probiotics increase mineral absorption.
Probiotics detoxify carcinogens.

(not sure you can access this site, but I will put the link in anyway.)
BTW the inducing cytokines in the GI wall is beneficial.. they are protective. Cytokines elsewhere may be inflammatory. But in the GI tract they are a barrier to invasion.
