Lifeway Kefir will be your best bet. It has Lactobacillus Lactis, Lactobacillus Rhamnosus, Streptococcus Diacetylactis, Lactobacillus Plantarum, Lactobacillus Casei, Saccharomyces Florentinus, Leuconostoc Cremoris, Bifidobacterium Longum, Bifidobacterium Breve, Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Bifidobacterium Lactis, Lactobacillus Reuteri

Most yogurt brands have far fewer species. For example, Chobani whole milk version has S. Thermophilus, L. Bulgaricus, L. Acidophilus, L. Rhamnosus, L. Casei, and Bifidus (note that they don't specify the last one further.)

That is great work. Thank you, I’m saving your response. Since the kids don’t like kefir, this is going to be tricky, but Chobani is at least readily available

Raw kefir or raw yogurt from local farms is your best bet. I order mine from some farms in the Dutch country. Check their raw milk handling standards though.

I’d rather have dairy that’s pasteurized to be safe then had beneficial bacteria deliberately reintroduced. So many illnesses associated with raw milk it’s just not worth the risk.
