What is it good for?

Kombucha is a fermented tea drink made with a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY). It's known for its slightly acidic, effervescent taste and potential health benefits.

Here's what kombucha is good for:

  • Gut Health: The fermentation process creates probiotics, which may improve digestion and support a healthy gut microbiome.

  • Antioxidants: Kombucha contains antioxidants from the tea used in the fermentation process. These antioxidants can help protect cells from damage.

  • Hydration: It's a refreshing and hydrating beverage option.

  • Energy Boost: Some people experience a mild energy boost from kombucha due to the presence of B vitamins and caffeine (though usually in small amounts).

  • Alternative to Sugary Drinks: Kombucha can be a healthier alternative to sodas and other sugary drinks, as it's lower in sugar (especially if you choose brands with added sugar wisely). However, it's important to check the label for sugar content as some brands can be high in sugar.
