Q Is ABKEFIR™ the same as AB-Kefir?
A
Yes. ABKEFIR™ is the brand name and AB-Kefir is the product and ingredient name; they refer to the same thing.
Q Is AB-Kefir a probiotic or a postbiotic?

Q What is symbiotic fermentation and SYNTEK™?
A
Symbiotic fermentation means the strains are cultured together rather than grown separately and blended, so they interact as a community like traditional kefir. SynbioTech's SYNTEK™ technology runs this process at scale.

Q What are postbiotics?
A
Postbiotics are the beneficial metabolites produced by probiotics during fermentation, such as organic acids, bioactive peptides, exopolysaccharides, and vitamins. AB-Kefir is rich in these because of its symbiotic fermentation.
Q How does AB-Kefir support gut health?
A
AB-Kefir supports the gut through several complementary mechanisms at once: rebalancing the microbiota, resisting unwanted bacteria, and strengthening the gut barrier, which together support comfortable, regular digestion.
