Fascinated by the many beneficial effects of kombucha, Spanish scientists conducted a thorough review of its nutritional profile. They determined that the various bio-active compounds in the fermented tea worked together to achieve their effects.
The review was conducted by researchers from the University of Monterrey, who published their findings in the journal CyTA – Journal of Food.
Although kombucha is safe overall, the researchers noted several contraindications. They therefore recommended performing controlled human studies to determine the fermented tea’s full range of effects on human health.
