Kombucha Is a Great Source of Probiotics
The community of bacteria in the gut form a formidable force in the maintenance of balance amongst several factors. Certain bacteria help in preventing inflammation, another group is important for digestion. In the preparation of kombucha, bacteria and yeast in the SCOBY form a thin film across the surface of the tea. Left for days to ferment the tea, the bacteria might increase the population of bacteria in the tea. Other species of bacteria easily grow in the provided medium, and when ingested, they possibly help in improving the bacteria flora in the body. [2]
