This video reviews the HUGE NEW body of research on KOMBUCHA TEA HEALTH BENEFITS, focusing on the effects of Kombucha Tea on GUT HEALTH and the GUT MICROBIOME. #kombucha #kombuchatea #kombuchalover

We start by discussing the three key ingredients of Kombucha Tea tea (from the tea plant), sugar, and microbes. You'll learn about the different types of tea that can be used to brew Kombucha and the role that sugar plays in the fermentation process. We'll also take a closer look at the beneficial microbes, including Kombucha yeasts and bacteria, that are responsible for creating new bioactive compounds during the fermentation process. Newlyformed healthpromoting compounds in Kombucha Tea include bacterial cellulose, acetic acid, glucuronic acid, antioxidant phenolic compounds, and vitamins and minerals.

Next, we'll explore the effects of Kombucha consumption on GUT HEALTH. You'll learn about how Kombucha can support beneficial communities of bacteria in the gut and suppress harmful ones. We'll also discuss the potential benefits of consuming Kombucha for improving digestion, reducing inflammation, and boosting the immune system.

We will also go over the reasons to be CAUTIOUS when researching Kombucha Tea, including the high variability in fermentation conditions used in various experiments, the ability of LOWQUALITY TEA to produce LOWQUALITY (not very bioactive) KOMBUCHA, the loss of probiotic potential due to transportation and storage, and a lack of human experimental trials.

We conclude with a potential SOLUTION to some of these issues surrounding Kombucha Tea – it's to Brew your own 'Booch! By brewing your own Kombucha, you can guarantee that highquality ingredients are used and that beneficial probiotic properties of the Kombucha are not lost with storage and transport.

This video will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of what the NEW body of scientific research is telling us about Kombucha Tea and its potential health benefits. So, whether you're a seasoned Kombucha drinker or new to the world of fermented tea, you won't want to miss this informative, educational, and (dare I say) ENTERTAINING video.
