Kombucha Daily Dose, Health Benefits and Precautions:
Most people prefer between 250ml and 400ml per day:
Most people experience great benefits drinking kombucha and have no adverse side effects. A small percentage of people experience bloating, nausea, infections and allergic reactions when drinking kombucha. Because kombucha has a high level of acidity, it’s possible that this can cause problems for people with digestive problems like stomach ulcers, heartburn or sensitivity to very acidic foods. If you are concerned about these issues, start drinking a small amount in moderation and gradually work your way up to drinking more in order to see if you have any negative reactions to it. Stick to about 250ml per day or less, especially in the beginning.
People who have severely compromised immunity due to certain viruses like HIV/AIDS need to be careful about consuming kombucha since there is always a possibility that the yeast can grow harmful bacteria that can cause illness. Before more formal research is conducted showing that it’s completely safe, pregnant women are advised to err on the safe side and avoid kombucha — or at least to enjoy it in small quantities. Kombucha is brewed using black tea and sugar, which when fermented, turns into alcohol in very small amounts (only about 1 percent of kombucha is believed to be alcohol). For people with existing diabetes, kombucha likely won’t cause much of a problem considering it’s very low in sugar (about two grams per eight ounce), but it’s worth being careful and monitoring blood sugar levels and related symptoms. For those with digestive problems (like IBS) or anxiety disorders, the low level of caffeine in kombucha is also something to be conscious of since caffeine can sometimes aggravate these conditions if consumed in excess. There has been one incidence of severe acidosis in the 1990’s that was associated with kombucha consumption, although no causal link was ever established. (24)
Final Thoughts Kombucha has been around for millennia, touted as a miracle health elixir (particularly by the Chinese). While nothing is a “miracle cure” for disease, the powerful antioxidants in kombucha contribute to its anti-inflammatory, gut-healing and even potential anticancer properties. Due to the way kombucha supports a healthy gut, it can help to relieve gastrointestinal issues, improve mental health and fight dangerous bacterial infections. Drinking kombucha may help in managing diabetes, protecting the liver and maintaining a healthy heart. To avoid any negative side effects, it’s recommended that you start by drinking very small amounts of kombucha and work your way to larger quantities.
