Several “health foods” have recently emerged as the demand for “healthy alternatives” in popular foods is increasing. One popular health food that has emerged is Kombucha, which is a fermented tea. Kombucha products make claims like consumption helps maintain a “healthy gut”. Kombucha contains billions of probiotics, which are live bacteria and yeasts that appear to have health benefits in the human body. Probiotics may help the body have a healthy balanced level of live microorganisms. The major probiotic in kombucha products appear to be Bacillus coagulans, but several other bacteria capable of fermentation are found in kombucha as well. Lactobacillus nagelii, Gluconacetobacter, Gluconobacter, and Komagataeibacter are other strains of probiotics that are found in kombucha.
