As far as I know (from my experience working in a health food store) is that Kefir is very similar to yogurt, so I am guessing that the nutrients are about the same. Protien, calcium ect. HOWEVER! what makes kefir special is it's abundance of microorganisms or "pro-biotics" as they are called. These include acidophiolis,biffidious (ok I honestly can't spell them) anyway, these are important for your digestive track. basically they get depited, mainly through the use of anti-biotics and poor diet, but these are very important in supporting your immune-system. As I am sure you know a large percentage of our immunological functioning takes place in the digestive system. The probiotics destroy "bad' bactiria, and also eat excess yeast in our systems. Kefir is also really tastey! However, if you belive you may need a probiotic boost. I would suggest taking capsules that contain them, this way the probiotics won't be killes by your stomach acids. Also, if you are lactose intolerant capsules are a good alternative. Of course this information is not intenned to be perscriptive only a personal suggestion, based on my personal, and albeit, limited experience. But as a personal testimony, I saw a marked improvement in my overall health and even lost a few pounds after I started consuming probiotics on a daily basis.
