Can you overdose on probiotics? Just a thought.......

The liquid Kefir is not expensive. The website also has coupons you can retrieve once a month. I also get the smaller bottles at
Costco now in a 12 count box. I started at 4oz a day and now I use about two little bottles a week. It will also recolonize your female areas as time passes, and reduce burning/itching and other discomforts most women are prone to.

It continues to ferment and grow in the bottle. Shake it well before pouring. It typically comes with an expiration date of about 2months ahead or so. As it ages it gets a bit more acidic, but with the fruit added, that is not so obvious as the unflavored one I started with. I believe in the long run it is far superior to any yogurt for re-establishing colonies in the GI tract.
I like Chobani for the high protein content, but I don't use it often, when I do the Kefir instead.
