Every Girl On TikTok Wants To Join The Coconut Cult — But An Expert Has Mixed Feelings About The Viral Probiotic Yogurt

Rao advised that those with pre-existing conditions, like autoimmune disorders, should be more cautious about incorporating highly concentrated probiotic foods into their diets. Kovacs reinforced Rao’s point, emphasizing the yogurt’s “super-potent” formula: “[Coconut Cult is] not your average grocery store yogurt. Our yogurt is a living food. For most people, that potency is what makes it transformative,” Kovacs told BuzzFeed. “But if someone has a compromised immune system, autoimmune conditions, or other health concerns, they should absolutely check with their doctor before diving in,” she said.Rao clarified, however, that these considerations aren’t limited to people with medical conditions. Even healthy individuals can respond differently to the same probiotics. Findings from the Human Microbiota Project, for example, showed a wide range of gut bacteria in stool samples of healthy people (those with no underlying conditions).
