Gut health is really important but it can often be over looked, especially id we aren’t suffering from any symptoms that may indicate our gut health needs our attention until it’s too late. However, Biotiful have created some fantastic products that taste great and make looking after gut health effortless.
Why is gut health important?
It is believed that gut health may be connected to every organ in our body. This is because there are bacteria and other micro-organisms in our gut, known as gut microbiome, that help to break down food and turn it into nutrients for your body. If the food is not broken down properly or the nutrients absorbed effectively then this is knows as bad gut health which has been linked to
- issues with the immune system
- mental health problems
- autoimmune diseases
- endocrine disorders – such as type 2 diabetes
- gastrointestinal disorders – such as irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease
- cardiovascular disease
- cancer
- sleep troubles
- digestion issues

Biotiful Kefir Protein review
Kefir Protein is made using a unique combination of high-protein quark and gut-friendly kefir, containing 30g of natural It comes in a pot similar to a yoghurt can be eat alone as you would a yoghurt, however, the beauty of the Kefir protein is that it can also be used in other ways too.
It has a thick and creamy texture so is great for using as the base for a sauce or dip. Or you can opt for one of the flavoured ones and eat it with some fruit or even mixed with oats and left over night to create a delicious over night oats for your breakfast.
It is richer in live cultures and higher in protein than conventional yogurt, it’s light, highly nutritious and great for those that want to take back control of their gut healthy as part of their journey to become a healthy parent.
We were sent three of the Kefir proteins to review, an original, a vanilla and a cherry. Of the three I preffered the vanilla but loved the versatility of the original.
