I just received some samples in the mail. I am a huge fan of probiotics and when I found out about Tula’s® CocoKefir I was very excited to try a natural probiotic fermented with pure and raw coconut water! I am now making my smoothies with CocoKefir!
If you know about the importance of taking probiotics and how beneficial they are for your health then CocoKefir is the product for you. It is a live probiotic which means it’s more powerful and effective than probiotics in pills or powder forms.
An estimated 70% of your immune system resides in your gut!

My experience with probiotics:
My son started showing signs of reflux when he was about 6 months of age. At around the same time he also started getting sick often: fevers, respiratory infections, and cold after cold. We were at the doctor constantly! We will always come out with more and more medications: broncho dilators, steroid treatments, antibiotics, proton pump inhibitors, anti-reflux medications, and pain relievers.
I started to think about ways to boost his immune system and find natural alternatives to cure his reflux and his numerous respiratory problems. This is when I found out about the wonders of probiotics. Taking probiotics and eating clean helped boost his immune system and overcome the terrible reflux he suffered from as a baby and toddler.
I am now making smoothies and adding CocoKefir! Probiotics are so benefecial for our kid’s health and a taking them at an early age will set a great foundation for their future digestive health! A well-functioning GI tract will have the proper nourishment to grow and protect against disease. Getting kids gut up and running efficiently is crucial!
What are probiotics?
Probiotics are micro-organisms, specific bacteria, fungi, and yeasts that are natural, necessary component of the digestive tract. They are beneficial to the body and an integral part of our immune system. When the biodiversity of these beneficial organisms is in balance, they help with digestion, nutrient absorption, and form the front line of our immune defense.
Antibiotics are strong medications and will kill all bacteria: good and bad. After a round of antibiotics for 10 days you kill the beneficial bacteria within your intestines. When you do so, you upset the delicate balance of your intestinal terrain. Taking probiotics is also essential for restoring healthy bacteria after a round of antibiotics.
Probiotics in Yogurt
Some brands of yogurt actually contain live cultures and some do not. Most store bought yogurt products are highly pasteurized and contain sugar which already interferes with keeping the cultures alive. For the “good” brands that contain active live cultures, you would need to consume dozens of canisters of yogurt daily to obtain the amount of beneficial probiotics in a single high-potency probiotic supplement like Tula’s® CocoKefir.
Why is CocoKefir such a good probiotic?
CocoKefir products are true fermented foods teaming with live probiotics swimming in a healthy food matrix (the raw coconut water and/or meat) that supports them. They are vigorously alive at the time of consumption.
Probiotics in pill or powered form are in a dried, dormant, hibernation-like state. Upon entering the body, these dormat organisms must go through a complex metamorphosis in order to “come to life”. It is actually questionable how many accomplish it. Taking CocoKefir is way more powerful because it is a live fermented food- raw, unpasteurized with no preservatives.
Each 4 ounce serving of Tula’s Cocokefir and Cocoyo contains 30 to 50 billion cfu probiotics.
Probiotics can also help treat ADHD, Autism, and food allergies naturally in children!
Studies show that targeted nutrition and taking probiotics can result in significant symptom improvement! Proper digestion plays an important role in mental, emotional, and physical health! It is referred to as “The Gut-brain connection.” It is through the digestive system that the brain, muscles, glands, and every part of the body are fed. Probiotics are the reinforcement that is sent into your gut to help maintain the proper balance of natural flora!
The founders of Tula’s® CocoKefir are also concerned parents. They have firsthand experience the importance of gastrointestinal health, having helped their daughter Tula with a focus on her gut health.
*UPADTE.- The company is no longer in business and the links to their website are no longer active. You can see my other posts if you are looking for a good probiotic supplement. Thank you.
