I was instantly impressed with the fact that kombucha was loaded with probiotics, antioxidants and a broad spectrum of B-vitamins (including vitamin B-12, which is pretty much impossible to get from non-animal sources.)įor my first bottle I just so happened to choose GT’s Synergy Brand Organic Raw Kombucha Gingerade flavor (I later learned this is actually one of the best of the commercial brands).
My husband wandered off (I’ve noticed this is what most other doctors do too when they hear about a health claim that is being linked to food.) It’s not that Andy doesn’t have an open mind…it’s just that I tend to keep an even “opener” mind when it comes to health foods and everything else “alternative.” I immediately snatched the Kombucha ( GT’s Synergy brand) bottle from the shelf and read the label and the list of ingredients. Ding, ding, ding…these claims were peaking my interest. When I asked, the customer insisted it was an energizing and detoxifying beverage that was used for medicinal purposes in China, Japan and Russia. I had no idea what in the world kombucha was and neither did Andy.
As I lingered a bit longer looking at the brightly colored Kombucha bottles another customer asked which Kombucha flavor I liked best.
I was standing with Andy in a Whole Foods Market store in San Diego trying to figure out which chilled beverage I should buy when I noticed Kombucha. What is kombucha? This was my question back in 2011 when we were on a family vacation in California.
