Bioactive Compounds from Kefir and Their Potential Benefits on Health: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Despite evidence of health benefits from kefir administration, a systematic review with meta-analysis on bioactive compounds associated with these benefits is still absent in the literature. Kefir is fermented milk resulting from the metabolism of a complex microbiota in symbiosis. Recent researches...
