Kombucha is perhaps one of the most popular fermented probiotic health tonics on the market, promoting high levels of B Vitamins, antioxidants, and detoxifying properties. Doctors of both conventional and natural medicine agree that probiotics have positive effects on digestion, metabolism, immune system, and mental health.
