Kombucha

So I know Kombucha has been around for a very, very long time however I have just recently acquired a taste for it. It is an acquired taste but it does not take long. There are many different brands and so far Synergy is my favorite. There is a local company in Santa Cruz called Kombucha Botanics that is a close second. The benefits of this fermented tea is quite lengthy.

Kombucha is known as a Chinese tea or a plant. It's actually a living culture of beneficial microorganisms. During fermentation, essential nutrients form like active enzymes, viable probiotics, amino acids, antioxidants and polyphenols. All of these combine to create an elixir that immediately works with the body to restore balance and vitality. Kombucha has been used for hundreds of years throughout the world as a daily health tonic.

I am definitely hooked. I feel really good after drinking it and hopefully it is doing some good for my body. I try to drink one a day if possible and now my son is hooked on it as well. It does actually help as a appetite suppressor and it is suppose to help boost your metabolism.

Try some I think you will be hooked too.
