Thank you for the responses. Kefir and like products are immediately acted upon in the stomach and the friendly bacteria is acted upon by the gastric juices, acids, etc. How much of the friendly bacteria actually makes it to the intestines where it is most needed? That is why I mentioned I would like a delivery system with a timed release feature so the probiotic would be released primarily in the intestines, not the stomach.
