Limited evidence suggests kombucha tea may offer benefits
similar to probiotic supplements, including promoting a healthy immune system
and preventing constipation. Kombucha is good source of probiotics, which can
promote gut health and prevent constipation. It can also help keep hydrated,
which is important for improving stool consistency and promoting regularity.
Since kombucha is unpasteurized and contains small amounts of caffeine and
alcohol, pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid it as well.
Kombucha tea has emerged as a substance that protects the
liver from damage; however, its mechanisms of action on the fatty liver remain
unclear. Kombucha contains live bacteria and organic acids, which if consumed
on a regular basis may help to aid digestive issues such as excess gas and
bloating. Kombucha tea and other fermented foods are full of antioxidants and
probiotics, or live bacteria, that boost the health of intestinal cells,
improve immune function, and aid in food digestion, among others.
Known for its health benefits, kombucha can be found in the
Japanese market. Kombucha has been present in Germany for 35 years and it is
Europe's largest kombucha market. In Europe, kombucha is rated significantly
high among consumers in terms of its taste and affordability. By the early 20th
century it had spread to Russia, then other parts of Europe and Germany.
Kombucha is now homebrewed worldwide, and also bottled and sold commercially.
