What is Kombucha 

 

Kombucha is fermented black tea made with a SCOBY (that’s a symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast).

​

I can tell you it looks challenging (when it’s being made), tastes great and many claim it is incredibly good for you and recommend drinking it daily as a general tonic!

Kombucha, the beverage the ancient Chinese called the “Immortal Health Elixir” has been around for more than 2,000 years and has a rich anecdotal history of health benefits like providing support for a healthy immune system and supporting healthy joints and cartilage. 

​

Kombucha is used to aid detoxification - detoxification helps livers and aids immune systems. One of Kombucha’s greatest health benefits is its ability to help to detox the body. It is rich in many of the enzymes and acids your body produces and/or uses to detox your system, thus helping to reduce your pancreatic load, easing the burden on your liver. Kombucha is very high in Glucaric acid which recent studies have shown helps you to a healthy immune system.

 

Kombucha helps with joint care - Kombucha contains glucosamines, which are one of the essential building blocks for healthy joints and cartilage. Glucosamines are needed for synovial hyaluronic acid production. Hyaluronic acid functions physiologically to aid preservation of cartilage structure and maintain healthy joints. Hyaluronic acid enables connective tissue to bind moisture thousands of times its weight and maintains tissue structure, moisture, lubrication and flexibility and lessens free radical damage, while associated collagen retards and reduces wrinkles.

 

Kombucha aids digestion and gut health - because it’s naturally fermented with a living colony of bacteria and yeast, Kombucha is a probiotic beverage. This has a myriad of benefits such as improved digestion, fighting candida (harmful yeast) overgrowth, mental clarity, and mood stability. 

 

Kombucha helps with immune boosting - Kombucha is extraordinarily anti-oxidant rich, and anti-oxidants are great at boosting your immune system and energy levels.
