Can you drink turmeric ginger kefir every day?

What is Turmeric ginger kefir?
Turmeric ginger kefir is a spiced take on kefir, a fermented milk drink traditionally associated with the Caucasus. Turmeric brings an earthy note, while ginger adds a warm, lively edge to kefir’s familiar tang. It is usually pourable, with a consistency closer to a drinkable yoghurt than a thick spoonable one.
Across the world, it can be sipped chilled on its own, served with breakfast or enjoyed as a snack; in the Caucasus, plain kefir is the more traditional form. It provides protein and calcium as well as live cultures typical of kefir. If you prefer a milder flavour, blend it with plain kefir, or pair it with fruit without adding sweetener.
