The Functional Benefits of Ziwa Products

Fermented food such as yogurt, sauerkraut and kefir have gained reputation for their health benefits. Among the many health-related properties of fermented foods, effects on immunity, on gastro-intestinal health and on blood pressure are noted. Also the process of fermentation breaks down the lactose (sugar) in the milk thus improving the lactose intolerance. Our Ziwa products contain live probiotic strains (S. Thermophilus, L. Bulgaricus, L. Acidophilus).
