Immune Support
Kombucha is typically produced through fermentation by a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY). This fermentation process results in the presence of live bacteria and yeast in the final product. These probiotics can support gut health, which is closely linked to the immune system. A healthy gut microbial flora can positively influence immune function.
Kombucha is usually made from black or green tea, both of which contain compounds like catechins and theaflavins. These compounds have been associated with potential immune-boosting effects. Furthermore, it contains antioxidants, such as polyphenols, that can help strengthen the immune system by combating oxidative stress in the body. Reducing oxidative stress may contribute to overall health, including immune health.
