So what is Kombucha?
Quite simply, it is a fermented sweet tea. The fermentation process begins with the introduction of a SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast). The SCOBY feeds on the sugar and the caffeine in the brew so there remains very little of either in the finished product and so makes a delicious tangy/sour beverage which is an excellent alternative to sugar and caffeine laden drinks.
Kombucha is perfect for anyone who wants to look after their well-being by reducing their intake of sugar and caffeine. Kombucha contains no additives or preservatives or any chemical nasties and it is also suitable for Vegetarians, Vegans and people who are gluten or dairy intolerant. It is low in sugar and calories (typically just 45-50 calories per bottle) making it a healthy choice for people who care what they are consuming. Due to the brewing process, Kombucha does contain a low level of alcohol but this is typically below 0.5% abv & so is classed as a soft drink.
The History
The origins of Kombucha go back to 221 BC and was first brewed in Northern China and Russia (known as tea kvass). Kombucha has been known to have a highly beneficial effect on fighting degenerative diseases such as arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome, acid reflux and even cancer.
Whilst we are not promoting Kombucha as a ‘cure’ for anything, there is lots of anecdotal evidence that it will certainly improve many health conditions. Over recent decades, the food and drinks that we consume have been pumped with additives, preservatives, chemical stabilisers and anti-biotics. We believe that these additives which have been used to increase shelf life, have had a profound effect on our microbiome – did you ever hear of Irritable bowel syndrome 20 years ago?
Happy Customers
Having suffered with arthritis in my feet for some years, I was advised to try Nutra Kombucha, an old Chinese remedy. Having tried it for a few months, I have found a remarkable change in my ability to walk. I no longer limp and overall feel years younger. It is remarkable stuff and I will continue to use it for as long as I am feeling the benefits.

After having a hip replacement and starting to recover, I was then diagnosed with inflammatory
Arthritis. This was painful and uncomfortable and I found going up and downstairs slow and awkward… I was recommended to try Nutra Kombucha… after 2 months I really can’t believe how well I feel and how my life is back to normal. There is still a little ache in my wrists but a lot of the time I forget about it as it is so minimal.

I have a condition called C.M.T. There is no cure or treatments to relieve it, it causes chronic fatigue and constant pain. I know there is no treatable help, but with Kombucha, which is purely natural, I have found has helped me and relieved to a good degree, the fatigue and pain. It also gives me a feeling of wellbeing within myself.
