Abstract in brief

Kefir is a fermented milk drink made with a mix of beneficial bacteria and yeasts, with its nutritional content influenced by factors like milk source and fermentation process.
Scientific research suggests that drinking kefir can promote health by improving digestion, reducing cholesterol and blood sugar levels, fighting inflammation, and possibly preventing certain diseases, though more clinical studies are needed.
While most current evidence comes from lab and animal studies, kefir remains a popular, affordable probiotic option with potential health benefits that warrant further scientific investigation.
