Incorporate more probiotics in your life with water kefir, a natural beverage that is easy to customize with simple ingredients.
Water kefir grains (tibicos) are a symbiotic relationship between yeast and bacteria. They are plump, translucent grain-textured bacterial cultures that convert sugar into healthy probiotics, enzymes and electrolytes. They emit CO2 which adds pleasant carbonation to the drink. Water kefir can help boost the immune system, enhance gut health and calm bloating.
Water kefir grains are a living bacterial culture that can be used time and time again. When cared for and used properly, Happy Gut Water Kefir grains will keep producing delicious water kefir for you and your whole family to enjoy over and over again. Our live, plump grains are the best option when starting your brews. Dehydrated grains are shelf stable for up to 2 years and are a great option if you won’t be starting your brew immediately after your grains arrive.

Grains stayed alive
Coming up on my 3rd year of successful benefits and 'brewing' kefir. Having some difficulty getting the dehydrated version of my replacement grains to ferment but what DOES work is the customer service and great attitude from this Canadian company.
I live in Quebec. I already know water kefir. I bought these grains alive, but I was worried they would arrive in poor condition given the 7 day summer transport across Canada. However, as soon as they arrived, I immediately made a first fermentation. 24 hours later I had lots of little bubbles in my jar. I filtered and made a second fermentation. Less than 24 hours later, I have an excellent result. I am very satisfied!
Got the grains and have already made my first batch! Love it so much!
Fermenting is a new hobby to me and after looking around Happy Gut seemed like the best provider of water kefir grains—plus they're Canadian. The grains work well, and I have a fermented drink inside of four days, unlike with the weeks-long slog of kombucha making (no shade, kombucha). The grains haven't multiplied yet but that's probably because the atmosphere is still a bit chilly. My drinks are carbonating, so I'm not worried. I've tried some standard flavour combinations (mango passionfruit, citrus, pineapple) and some pretty out there ones (pine lemon, anyone?), with even more ideas sparking after reading the Happy Gut recipe book. Customer service is friendly, and as a copywriter I appreciate the laidback, friendly, optimistic tone of their communications. The only change I would make to the whole process is to include a tracking number on the shipped grains, but the shipping itself was pretty quick, so I can't complain.
