Abstract in brief

The study found that kefir supplementation can change the composition of gut microbiota in mice, with higher doses leading to more significant shifts, and this was associated with improved gut health.
Kefir intake increased mice's exercise performance by extending their swimming endurance and enhancing grip strength, while also reducing fatigue-related substances like serum lactate, ammonia, BUN, and creatine kinase after exercise.
The benefits of kefir included increased tissue glycogen, an important energy source for exercise, suggesting kefir helps improve energy storage and reduce physical fatigue in mice.]
