Kefir has many reputed health benefits. It has antibiotic and antifungal properties. In addition to beneficial bacteria and yeast, kefir contains many vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes. Particularly calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, B2 and B12, vitamin K, vitamin A and vitamin D. Tryptophan, one of the essential amino acids abundant in kefir, is well known for its relaxing effect on the nervous system. Because kefir also has an abundance of calcium and magnesium, also important minerals for a healthy nervous system, kefir in the diet can have a particularly calming effect on the nerves.

Thanks timezone for the info! I didn't realize kefir had so many healing properties - vital minerals, TRYPTOPHAN! I want some water kefir grains! I saw a site that sold them once. They're $18 USD... wonder if I should order some from there. what did you pay for yours?
