Fermented Dairy & Bone Health

Story at-a-glance

• Fermented dairy like kefir helps rebuild bone by boosting osteocalcin and lowering bone breakdown markers, which results in stronger bones

• The probiotics in fermented dairy actively balance bone-building and bone-resorbing cells, helping prevent and even reverse the progression of osteoporosis

• Research shows that regular kefir consumption increased hip bone density by 5.5% in just six months, offering real gains in areas most vulnerable to life-altering fractures

• Beneficial bacteria in fermented dairy lower inflammation and oxidative stress, which are two hidden drivers of bone loss that most conventional treatments overlook

• Dairy contains C15:0, an odd-chained saturated fat that helps boost metabolic health, protects cells, and supports healthy weight — all while strengthening your bones
