Kombucha is easily found in the refrigerated beverage section of health food stores. Having been around for some 2,000 years, it certainly has longevity. Kombucha is a live drink. It is created through a process that combines yeast and a bacterial culture, which is why you might want to buy it, instead of making your own.

The FDA has not studied the drink.
I find that it helps digestion and increases energy.
My favorite brand is Synergy and my second favorite is the Kombucha Wonder Drink. I’m not sure if you can be neutral about the beverage. It has a sharp, tangy, pucker your taste buds kind of taste. Be careful if you shake the bottle, you’ll have fizz everywhere.
