Forever young kombucha

A non-alcoholic, natural drink that positively impacts health, made from tea fungus. It is created by brewing tea, which is then fermented by a symbiotic culture of yeast and bacteria (SCOBY), resulting in kombucha.

In the initial stage of production, for the acetic acid bacteria and yeast that form SCOBY, sugar serves as an essential nutrient medium and initiates the fermentation process. During fermentation, most of the sugar is converted into alcohols and acids.

By the time the final product is ready, only trace amounts of sugar remain. This is significantly less compared to the sugar content in many other non-alcoholic beverages and juices available in stores.

One of the key benefits of kombucha is its effect on blood sugar levels. Studies show that regular consumption of this drink may help stabilize glucose levels in the body.
Scientists from several American universities conducted a study that proved kombucha can lower blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. The results were published in the journal Frontiers in Nutrition.

How does it work? Kombucha contains a range of active ingredients, such as organic acids and enzymes, which may help the body process carbohydrates more efficiently. This can lead to slower absorption of sugar from food and maintaining a stable blood sugar level.

Kombucha is a low-alcohol beverage, meaning it contains no more than 0.5% alcohol. In reality, these amounts are significantly lower than this threshold due to the presence of bacteria, which convert the alcohol produced during yeast fermentation into beneficial organic acids.

There are articles online that repeat American sources, claiming that the maximum amount of kombucha one can consume is 116 ml. However, it is important to note that this measurement refers to kombucha vinegar, not the FYK drink. The content of organic acids, including acetic acid, in our beverage is actually lower than in vinegar, which we also produce. Consequently, this article is misleading and is unfortunately often mindlessly repeated on various websites.

In reality, drinking kombucha is not harmful to health, and it can be consumed daily, even in large amounts, such as several or even dozens of bottles. Over the past few years, we and our children have been drinking more than 2 liters of kombucha daily, we feel great, and we can't imagine life without it.
