What You Didn't Know About Kombucha
Channel: Neily on Nutrition
Date: 2021-05-07

Kombucha is a fermented product originating from China thousands of years ago. It's often marketed as a probiotic and promises many health benefits. But does it live up to promises?

Kombucha teas are promoted to improve digestion, strengthen the immune system claim to be detoxifying, help with diabetes, fight cancer, reduce risk of heart disease, high blood pressure. And the list goes on and on. Despite the claims, there's no evidence to suggest it's significant for human health at this time. 

Just like dietary supplements and fermented foods and other functional foods, they're not all created equal. So do your due diligence when looking for a brand that you like.
