Doctor D’s Sparkling Probiotic

Doctor D's Sparkling Probiotic is a Louisville, Colorado maker of sparkling kefir water, a live-fermented probiotic drink made with organic fruit juice and organic cane sugar. The company says it is dairy-free, gluten-free, vegan and free of artificial ingredients, and it describes its drinks as a milder-tasting alternative to kombucha.

The business began in 2014, when a couple running a health clinic started brewing kefir water at home and later teamed up with a neighbor who is a master brewer. The drinks are sold at grocery and natural food stores, where they are usually found in the healthy drinks cooler or the produce section, and the website has a store locator. They are meant to be kept refrigerated. The business is based at 168 Ctc Blvd.
