I have a healthy work hard/play hard balance and a huge part of what keeps me balanced is Kombucha. I was introduced a couple of years ago and at first hated the taste. I forced myself to keep drinking and the effects are wonderful. I have more energy, I never get sick and is the best cure for any hangover.

This is a delicious fermented drink full of probiotics. It is a refreshing alternative to sugary sodas or unhealthy fruit drinks. It is made with green or black tea and sugar that has gone through the process of fermentation, which feeds on and digests the sugar, leaving little to no sugar left but increasing the presence of good bacteria and probiotics in the drink. The kombucha is then left as the "original" flavor or puree/extracts are added to create interesting and fruity flavors, including gingerberry, raspberry, gingeraid, citrus, and more! If you have never tried kombucha before, you may want to drink it little by little at first. Because it is fermented and consists of good bacteria, you may experience detoxifying effects if you consume a large amount and you haven't attempted to detox before. If this is the case, add a bit more each time. It is not dangerous, it is a rush of probiotics and good bacteria in your body, and sometimes, it needs to push the bad toxins out as a result.

This is by far one of the best inventions of man! between the health benefits and a wide variety of tasty flavor options, this invigorating drink is a family favorite! Talk about your healthy version of soda, this is one of the best! My husband used to drink one to two of these before going on board when he worked on a fishing boat. It would keep him hydrated and focused, and perhaps best of all, it PREVENTED his seasickness. This is a great fizzy pro-biotic drink that I would highly recommend to anyone (fishing or not). It can calm your stomach, relieve morning sickness or seasickness, and it can even prevent illnesses by giving your body the strength and ability to fight it off itself, naturally. I do wish it wasn't so much money, but I am glad it's in a glass bottle and not a plastic one. I've heard that is the best way to bottle live cultures. A couple of the flavors I would say have an acquired taste to them, however, most of them I love the flavors of.

When I first tried Kombucha tea I was a little hesitant. It definitely is unlike any other drink I've ever had. It isn't like an iced tea, and it's a bit vinegar-y. I really like the flavors, and I think GT has the biggest variety. Kombucha is really healthy, I just wish it were a bit more affordable! I don't know of anywhere you can buy a case for cheaper, just by the bottle. I like the gingerberry or the cranberry flavor. I'm also a fan of the Chia varieties, and they always make me feel better after a rough night.

For the last few years I have had frequent stomach problems such as ulcers, gas and bloating. The ulcers aren't so much a problem anymore but gas and bloating are. I saw it in the natural foods section of cub foods and decided to try it. It helped so much!!! :)The gas in my stomach was so bad i couldnt function and it just fizzled away over an hour after I drank half a bottle. I continue to use it on occasion for the health benefits and as needed for digestion:) If I could afford to buy it every day, I would. Cub carries original, cranberry and grape. I always drink grape flavor... :) Also I swear it makes me "happy" LOL may just be the <0.5% alcohol giving me a slight buzz. The first few times that I drank it I felt some kind of "pinching" going on in my stomach. It worried me at first but then I decided its more likely just "healing" my stomach. It says on the label to finish within 3 days of opening but I have never had a problem leaving it in for like 3 weeks before finishing it. For what it is, it is not likely that it will "spoil" right? Still fizzy and tastes the same 3 weeks later.

I have been drinking kombucha for 4 years now. I have four small children and they get colds frequently. If I drink at least a bottle of kombucha a day I do not get sick. I also have great energy and stamina. If I am going to be busy all day or in a stressful situation I make sure I have my bottle of kombucha with me. My favorite flavor is the Cosmic Cranberry. I love the tart juicy taste. I also like Passionfruit and Original. I don't care for the more sweet flavors of Guava, Grape or Mango. Each bottle of ombucha is packed with probiotics and B vitamins. I love the natural fizz. It's like soda pop, except healthy! I have personally written to the company and they were very nice and they even sent me coupons. My children like to drink it and if it was cheaper I would let them have it more. I will also make it myself and add it to the store-bought to stretch it a little. Yummy and worth the price!
