If you’ve always been intrigued by kefir, then we’ve got great news for you. Graham’s The Family Dairy has launched the brand-new ‘Goodness Kefir’ - a cultured, fermented milk drink that’s loaded with probiotics, to provide all kinds of health benefits for your gut.

Lactose-free, and containing 13 strains of live, friendly bacteria, Graham’s Goodness Kefir is high in protein, calcium and vitamins B12 and B2. It’s similar to yoghurt, but with a thinner consistency, so it’s perfect for enjoying as part of a healthy breakfast or on-the-go if you’ve got a busy morning routine. Goodness Kefir is made with Scottish milk, billions of live cultures and carefully-sourced fruit. It’s also available in three delicious flavours: Natural, Cherry and Papaya, Passionfruit and Cayenne.

Shockingly, 59% of the UK’s population are currently suffering from a gut health condition, and if you’re one of them, stats show that drinking kefir daily could help to ease your symptoms. Graham’s has sourced case studies from sufferers of gut health issues from across the country, and shared with us how kefir has helped to ease even the most uncomfortable of symptoms.

Amy Ford is a 30-year-old IBS sufferer from East Lothian, who explained: “I was officially diagnosed with IBS in 2011. My symptoms could be quite debilitating, with the worst being severe constipation, bloating and cramps. I tried everything to help, including a low FODMAP diet and over-the-counter medicines, with varying degrees of success. A family member recently suggested that I try kefir, and within 48 hours I experienced a total reduction of my symptoms. I do not need to take anything else now for my IBS. To have a completely natural dairy product is ideal, drinking kefir daily has literally changed my life.”

Graham’s Goodness Kefir drink is now available in Aldi stores across Scotland, priced at just £1.75 - and for those in Aberdeen, there will be free sampling for commuters at the train station on February 26, so you can get your hands on the drink for free and try it out for yourself.
