Original Water Live Kefir Grains w/ Activator Booster from The Spirit of The Forest

Transform plain water into a sparkling, probiotic-rich tonic with our Original Water Kefir Grains with Activator Booster. These living crystalline cultures naturally carbonate sugared water in 24 to 48 hours, creating a refreshing fizzy drink packed with billions of beneficial bacteria and yeasts.

What Are Water Kefir Grains

Water kefir grains look like small translucent crystals. They are a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeasts (SCOBY), believed to originate from the sugary water of the prickly pear (Opuntia) cactus in Mexico. They feed on sugar and produce lactic acid, carbon dioxide, and trace ethanol — leaving behind a probiotic-rich, low-sugar, naturally sparkling drink.

Why You'll Love It

• Dairy-free and vegan: the perfect probiotic for anyone avoiding dairy
• Gluten-free and caffeine-free: safe for sensitive diets
• Naturally low in sugar: the grains consume most of the added sugar during fermentation
