Fortunately, kombucha offers various probiotic strains and a high quantity.
Kefir
Similar to kombucha, kefir delivers probiotics, and more than one strain.
That alone is good for digestion.
But also, another recent study in the journalNutrientslooked at kefir specifically.

So, stay hydrated by aiming for about 1512 cups a day, men.
