Temperature and Time are key--The colder it is, the longer the best by dates.

All Craft & Culture brews are prepared fresh and flat upon delivery and the best by dates for them are entirely dependent on how they are stored after delivery as they are raw products and will continue to ferment on their own. All storage guidelines below are approximate.

Guidelines on Storing Raw Kombucha and Milk Kefir :

• STORE COLD AT 2 DEGC:Food safety guidelines recommend setting fridges to 2-4 degree celsius. A home refrigerator may operate within a wide range from 1-10 degree celsius. 
• GAS BUILD UP MAY OCCUR RAPIDLY:when stored at temp higher than 2-4 degC. Gassy brews are indicated by bottles with distended caps. 
• DO NOT STORE IN A WINE CHILLER / WINE ROOM:The temperature can be around 10-15 degC and will cause gas buildup rapidly.
• LOW pH MEANS Kombuchas and Milk kefirs safe to consume even when kept for a while / or when they turn fizzy. The organic acids produced create a low pH environment that is unsuitable for harmful bacteria and mould when kept in closed, clean conditions. 
• HOW TO OPEN WHEN GASSY / CAPS ARE DISTENDED: Chill until very cold, then open with extreme care at the sink (as overflow or spraying might occur). To be on the safe side, enclose in a plastic bag when opening to prevent messes. Do not shake the bottles vigorously before opening. Once opened, pour into a glass and consume as normal.

For Kombucha:

• Up to 3 days at room temperature (non chia seed kombuchas) 
• Up to 1 week at 8-10 degC fridge
• Up to 2 weeks in a 5-7 degC fridge
• Up to 1 month in a 2-4 degC fridge (IDEAL)
• Freezing: Extends the shelf life by several months but might cause kombucha to lighten in colour. Nutritional benefits remain the same.

DO NOT attempt to open any chia seed kombuchas when the caps are distended. Please discard. Chia seed will spray and make a mess

For Milk Kefir:

• is stable for 8 hours at room temperature - However, pls chill as soon as you can. 
• Up to 4 days in a 8-10 degC fridge
• Up to 1 week in a 5-7 degC fridge
• Up to 3 weeks at 2-4 degC fridge (IDEAL)
• Freezing: freezing extends the shelf life by a few months but will cause the clumps to separate and the consistency to become runnier. Blitz in a blender to smoothen texture before consuming. Nutritional and probiotic benefits remain the same (Acceptable but not recommended)

Natural Skin Care :

We create our products in small batches and use natural preservatives, for example fermentation bacteria like Lactobacillus (How cool is that?). We do not encourage the use of our products after more than 6 months after purchase. More “Use By” details are available on product containers and pages. For more FAQs on natural skincare, please visit here.

Alternatively, Craft & Culture also offers GIFT CARDS that can be redeemed any time. Please click HERE for more options

How and When to Consume:

Kombucha and Kefir can be taken together or separately at all times of the day,  but we recommend in the morning on an empty stomach. Research shows that doing so renders the foods consumed later to be more bioavailable for absorption into the body. 

Do not shake the bottle vigorously before opening as contents could overflow.

If your immune system is weak / have existing gut, digestive and health issues:

• start with 1/2 bottle (250 ml) and observe for any DETOX REACTIONS (diarrhea/ constipation/ headaches/ hives etc). For more information click HERE or HERE
• If you have detox reactions after consuming, your existing conditions may temporarily worsen. This is normal and expected. For additional support, please contact us and we'll be happy to share more information with you.
• If you experience a detox reaction, stop for the day, hydrate with water and continue with 1/2 a bottle the next day and until the detox reactions cease. Once the detox reactions lessen, proceed with one bottle a day to repopulate the gut with good bacteria and yeasts. 
• If there are no reactions, proceed with one full bottle a day for at least 2 weeks.

If you are pregnant or nursing: 

Please refer to our section HERE or HERE

*Ps. Do note that information provided by Craft & Culture is not intended to treat or diagnose physical medical conditions. In the event that any adverse reactions occur, please exercise good judgement and decide if medical attention is required.

Disclaimer: All experimental benefits listed can vary from person to person. Our products are helpful for many but may have no effect on some.

Candida Die-off Effects

If your gut health isn’t optimal, sometimes when you first start consuming milk kefir or kombucha, you may experience the “Candida Die-Off”. This happens when you introduce probiotics into your body and yeast cells are rapidly killed, a die-off (or Herxheimer reaction) occurs and metabolic by-products are released into the body.

The Candida yeast cells release 79 different toxins when they die, including ethanol and acetaldehyde. These toxins cause allergic reactions and inflammation that lead to an array of undesirable symptoms.

Die-Off symptoms will vary from person to person, as each will have different degrees of infestation. If you are having severe Die-Off symptoms, reduce your dosage of probiotics. The liver is your main pathway for eliminating toxins, and the Die-Off symptoms mean that it is being overwhelmed.

Die-Off Symptoms

Fermented foods may have different effects on everyone so here is a list of some of the symptoms you might experience during a die-off (otherwise known as a Herxheimer reaction). 

If you already have immunity / health / bloating / constipation / yeast infection issues and are looking to try fermented products to manage them, do note that your existing symptoms could temporarily intensify or worsen for the first couple of days. This is very normal.

Potential Die-Off Symptoms:

- Nausea

- Headache, fatigue, dizziness

- Swollen glands

- Bloating, gas, constipation or diarrhea

- Increased joint or muscle pain

- Chills, cold feeling in your extremities

- Body itchiness, hives or rashes

- Sweating

- Skin breakouts

- Recurring yeast, vaginal, prostate and sinus infections

STOP ALL CONSUMPTION AND SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IF THERE ARE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:

• Fevers
• Wheezing
• Elevated heart rate
• Itching or tingling feeling around the lips or mouth.
• Swelling of the lips, tongue or throat.
• Coughing or shortness of breath.

Coping with Die-Off effect
These symptoms normally clear up within a few days or so, but could last a little longer (so hang in there). However, there are a few things you can do to slow down this reaction or expel the toxins faster.

• Reduce your dosage of fermented products for the day.
• Increase water intake to flush out the toxins faster.
  If you want to feel better, all those byproducts that are released by the Candida yeast need to leave your body. You can give them a push by drinking more water.
• Continue with daily consumption until these symptoms cease to allow the body to detox more efficiently. With time, your gut biome should rebalance
• In the event your detox reactions do not cease within 1 week of daily consumption, please cease consumption. You may be intolerant to the compounds in fermented products.
  
  For example: intolerance to milk proteins in dairy. This is different from lactose-intolerance.

*Ps. Do note that information provided by Craft & Culture is not intended to treat or diagnose physical medical conditions. In the event that any adverse reactions occur, please exercise good judgement and decide if medical attention is required.

[Return of Empty Bottles suspended until 22 July - Pls keep existing bottles until 22 July to hand to our driver]

Craft & Culture accepts returns for our bottles at our store!

We will sanitize all bottles with industrial grade sanitizer before re-use.

Conditions: Bottles have to be cleaned, dried and left uncapped

All wet, damp, dirty bottles that have food/liquid residues in them will be discarded due to food safety reasons. 

PLS NOTE

• -Store Drop off: Pls leave bottles outside our store by hanging on the door handle OR you can also choose to do refills with your own bottles! Please see section on Refill Campaigns HERE
• -Delivery Pickup: If you have an existing order with delivery arranged, we may be able to collect the empty bottles from you. Please msg us first as some of our drivers are freelance and may not return to our kitchen after. Pls note that we are unable to make a dedicated trip to pick up empty bottles without an existing delivery order. 

Beverages

All orders, including subscriptions, once placed are strictly non-refundable.

In the event that there are extenuating reasons, all outcomes are subject to owner's discretion.

Please contact us and we will do our best to help. 

As our beverages contain live cultures, please be aware that slight differences in taste and colour are possible, subject to our climate.

Please refer to cases below (not limiting) that we do not exchange or refund for. Unless grossly misrepresented or errors were incurred on our part, all sales are final. That being said, please feel free to let us know if you have an issue and we’ll be more than happy to resolve them.

Case 1: Everyone's threshold of tartness is different and what may seem tart to some, is not for others.

We do not refund or exchange brews based on sour tastes as all bottles are prepared fresh in our kitchen, with stringent taste/quality guidelines and stored in temperature-controlled conditions before delivery. After being chilled, our brews are stable at room temperature for several hours which is why we are able to delivery our brews without cold trucks or ice packs.

We recommend that if you find our brews too tart, to dilute with water for kombucha or milk for milk kefir to taste.

Case 2: Color differences in Brews

We do not refund or make exchanges based on colour. Our bacteria are live and have different activity rates, so for example, the same batch of rose milk kefir might be pink or perhaps white. Until now, we have yet to solve the color mystery but one thing remains for certain--The taste remains the same!

Case 3: The bottle/cap is bulging slightly.

Not to worry, it's not an indicator that the brews have gone bad. Your product is raw and unpasteurized. When fermentation occurs, natural acids are produced, lowering the pH. This acidic environment inhibits the growth of harmful microbes and mould from forming.

Our brews also contain live cultures that respire, creating gases. These gases saturate the brews and cause natural carbonation! If you see caps that are bulging, make sure you pop the bottle into the fridge and chill it well before opening for a zesty, carbonated brew! Never hake vigorously and never open bulging bottles at room temperature as they will likely overflow.

That being said, do not attempt to open:

• Chia-Seed kombuchas. that have distended caps. They will spray. Please discard.
• All bottles or caps that are heavily pregnant. They will spray. Please secure in a plastic bag and discard.

Case 4: There is some chia on the outside of the bottle / clumped at the neck of the bottle

Our production team fills chia by hand and due to static, there may be cases where there is some chia seed that remain on the bottle surface while filling. While we do quality checks, we might sometimes miss some stray seeds.

lumpy chia seeds are not an indicator of a leak or that the brews are not safe to consume. When fermentation occurs, natural acids are produced, lowering the pH. This acidic environment inhibits the growth of harmful microbes and mould from forming. If there are clumps of chia in the neck of the bottle, please simply shake to mix. Chia are edible wet or dry.

Case 5: My brews overflowed/gushed out when i opened them

The kefirs and kombuchas when kept properly, can last for one month when stored in low temperatures of 2-4 Degree Celsius with no gas buildup or change in quality. 

When there is any overflow due to gas buildup, this is an indicator that storage conditions are warmer than the usual 2-4 degC, which is why the fermentation is proceeding--This does not mean that your brew are unsafe for consumption. Kindly open with care. See HERE or HERE

Case 6: My Kombuchas or Kefirs are fizzy/not fizzy 

Unlike other brands, Craft & Culture’s brews are raw, unpasteurized and intentionally prepared fresh and flat. The best by dates are entirely dependent on how the brews are kept post delivery. 

Please see HERE or HERE for storage guidelines.

Case 7: I'm not experiencing the benefits as mentioned on your website

Disclaimer: The information provided by Craft & Culture is not intended to diagnose physical medical conditions. Our products are not a medicine, and are not intended to cure or treat existing health conditions. All experimental benefits listed can vary from person to person.

Everyone's bodies are unique and different. While our products are helpful for many, there may not have a positive effect on some. Like all natural remedies, it may take some time before you see a positive difference. In the event that any adverse reactions occur, please exercise good judgement and decide if medical attention is required.

Yes, Very Normal!

Long before sodas were invented, when raw unpasteurized bacteria and yeasts respire, gas produced during fermentation made brews like kefir fizzy. This is not an indication that it is not safe for consumption. In fact, kefirs can be enjoyed flat or fizzy! 

As our brews are raw and unpasteurized, fermentation rates are entirely dependent on storage temperatures post delivery. As everyone's fridge temperatures can vary, gas build up can occur resulting in gassy kefirs. 

Please refer to our link on storage temperatures here or here. The colder the brews are stored, the longer they will keep without getting gassy.

Fizzy brews are indicated by distended caps and are safe to consume as the pH after fermentation is low. That being said, please open them with care! If opened when it is not cold, contents may overflow or spray.

Yes, Very Normal!

Long before sodas were invented, when raw unpasteurized bacteria and yeasts respire, gas produced during fermentation made brews like kombucha fizzy. This is not an indication that it is not safe for consumption. In fact, kombuchas can be enjoyed flat or fizzy! 

At Craft & Culture, all our kombuchas are fermented twice under controlled temperatures and are then intentionally prepared fresh and flat before bottling. 

As our brews are raw and unpasteurized, fermentation rates can vary from batch to batch and fermentation can continue, even in the fridge, resulting in fizzy kombuchas. For example, in our peach and grape kombuchas, the active yeasts on the fruit skins contribute toward more active fermentation rates as compared to our other flavours. 

Fizzy brews are indicated by distended caps and are still safe to consume, but please open them with care! If opened when it is not cold, contents may overflow or spray.

If you'd prefer your brews flat and not fizzy, simply open the bottle and allow the gas to escape for 30 min to an hour before consuming!

Kombucha has 3 main stages: 

1. flat and fresh (drinkable, acidity lowest) - highest in probiotic activity due to sugars present for probiotic bacteria to feed on

2. crisp and fizzy (drinkable, tart) - high in probiotic activity

3. full-bodied (yeasty) and vinegary -- the third takes about 6 months, requires some dilution (before drinking) and is used as vinegar for skin, hair, salads, cleaning and more. The probiotic count is lower than the first 2 stages

Yes, very normal!

At Craft & Culture, all our kombuchas are fermented twice under controlled temperatures and are then intentionally prepared fresh and flat, unlike certain brands who have fizzy kombuchas that have been sitting on shelves for months. In fact, that is what we are known for!

Advanced Tip: If you'd prefer your kombuchas fizzy, simply leave your bottles at room temperature until the caps are slightly distended, then chill them before opening! 

• This should take about a week for flavoured kombuchas and about 2 weeks for original kombucha.  
• Do not prepare or open fizzy chia-seed kombuchas as they will make a mess. 
• Always open fizzy bottles when cold, with caution over a sink/ in a plastic bag. Do not shake violently as contents might overflow.

Kombucha has 3 main stages: 

1. flat and fresh (drinkable, acidity lowest) - highest in probiotic activity due to sugars present for probiotic bacteria to feed on.

2. crisp and fizzy (drinkable, tart) - moderately high in probiotic activity.

3. full-bodied (yeasty) and vinegary -- the third takes about 6 months, requires some dilution (before drinking) and is used as vinegar for skin, hair, salads, cleaning and more. The probiotic count is lower than the first 2 stages

Yes, very normal!

Kombucha with chia seeds:

As we make our brews fresh before topping up with chia seeds at the end, there may be times when they have not been fully shaken before delivery and might clump up as they absorb the liquid. 

Just shake the bottle or stir with a spoon to give them some time to hydrate and they'll hydrate and separate fully in your kombucha! :) 

Kefir with clumps: 

After fermentation, the kefir becomes a mixture of milk solids and transparent liquid whey. It is very normal to see clumps of milk solids. If you like your kefir clump-free, either:

• stir with a spoon or
• simply blitz for 30 seconds in a blender and you're good to go.

Yes this is perfectly normal. During the fermentation process, milk is cultured into milk kefir. This results in 2 main layers: a transparent layer called whey and a solid layer called curds. This is not an indicator that the kefir has gone bad. Simply agitate or shake gently and the layers will recombine. 

Temperature and Time are key. 

All Craft & Culture brews are prepared fresh and flat upon delivery and the best by dates for them are entirely dependent on how they are stored after delivery as they are raw products.

• Store all the brews as cold as possible at the recommended storage conditions (here or here) and 
• Consume within the best by date. 

Tip 1: If the bottle cap is distended, place bottle in a covered plastic bag before opening to consume - they have a high probability of overflowing due to gas buildup and may cause a mess.

Tip 2: If you're unsure if your fridge is cold enough, open all tamper-proof seals on  the bottles to vent any gas build up. If you're feeling nervous, please use a cloth to cover the tops of the bottles and open over the sink.

Tip 3: Do Not Shake vigorously. It's normal for kefir to separate into 2 layers. Shaking vigorously forces gas into the liquid and when the bottle is opened, this pressure is suddenly released...in your face. We've been guilty of this in the past!

At Craft & Culture, we use whole cow's milk that is:

• pasteurized, 
• no hormones
• no antibiotics 

Kombucha:

All our ready-to-drink kombuchas intentionally contain added sugar:

• As sugar is a food source for probiotic bacteria and yeasts in Kombucha, making sugarless or no-sugar kombucha starves and inactivate the bacteria, which defeats the purpose of taking raw probiotics.
  In sugarless kombuchas, yeasts become dominant in the brew and the taste will be reminiscent of beer. Drinking liquid yeast in large quantities may also contribute to candida or yeast infections. 
• Sugar present during the fermentation is converted into beneficial substances like amino acids, vitamins etc. On top of that, the overall sugar present is always less than what is added as the brews are contain live bacteria that are respiring.
• Some brands create sugarless kombuchas And/Or kombuchas that have extremely long shelf lives (to eliminate sugar) in the name of health, not fully understanding the implications mentioned above. This is  not what we stand for as medical scientists and brewers at Craft & Culture.
  
  That being said, at Craft & Culture, we make low sugar versions so that our bacteria are vital and healthy and are eager to help you balance your gut biome! Each 250 ml serving of our original black tea kombucha contains less than 3.6% BV of added sugar or about 45 calories, which is comparable to the sugar content of an apple. 

Milk Kefir:

Our original milk kefir comes sugar-free. The sugars that the bacteria consume are lactose sugars, which is why at the end of fermentation our milk kefirs are 99% lactose free and are safe for people who are lactose-intolerant.

Diabetes-Friendly:

-Original Milk Kefir (no added sugar)

Recommendations:

-For diabetics who still prefer to take kombucha, please take half a serving, then wait for 1-2 hours and take a blood glucose test to monitor levels. If the levels are acceptable, try with 1 full serving and repeat. This method allows diabetics to determine what volumes can be consumed safely.

We do not provide ice packs/cooler bags/styrofoam boxes; however you may bring one for your pickup or place your own outside your home if you are away during delivery.

As we ferment all kombuchas and kefirs at ambient temperature for the second fermentation, 

• kombucha can be safely kept at room temperature for up to 2 days before requiring refrigeration while 
• kefirs can be safely kept at room temperature for up to 6 hours before requiring refrigeration. 

Simply pop your brews in the fridge when you're back. 

Check out our section on long term storage here and here.

Kefir and Kombuch, as fermented products, are considered to be Halal in general. 

According to Islamqa for milk kefir and 
Kombucha (click on underlined links): 

Where the concentration of alcohol in the drink is very small, in such a way that it will not cause intoxication no matter how much a person drinks of it. This concentration has no effect, and this drink is halaal. There is no evidence in Islam to suggest that the mere presence of a small concentration of alcohol in a drink – no matter how small it is – makes the drink haraam. Rather the hadith quoted above indicate that the reason for the prohibition is intoxication; therefore whatever drinks cause intoxication are haraam, and whatever does not cause intoxication is halaal.

Please note that fermented products in general (not just kombucha and kefir) contain trace amounts of alcohol as a byproduct. For example: kimchi, soy sauce, tempeh etc.
Overconsumption of these fermented products are unlikely to lead to intoxication.

Craft & Culture's production kitchen, while not Halal-certified, produces only fermented products and fermented brews--we do not process pork, lard and alcohol within our kitchen premises. 

Allergies

Allergies are very common in the developed world. It affects 20% of the population in developed countries and the numbers are set to increase. Allergies arise due to the hypersensitivity of the immune system to common substances in the environment.

These diseases include allergic rhinitis (hayfever), food allergies, atopic dematitis (otherwise known as eczema), allergic ashtma and anaphylaxis. Symptoms may include red eyes, an itchy rash, sneezing, a runny nose, shortness of breath or swelling. Atopic dematitis (eczema) is the most common affliction and affects a person's quality of life.

There has been promising research data that probiotics may be used to help manage these allergy conditions.

The cause of these allergies is due to a compromised immune response, and one of the possible remedies to strengthen the immune system is through the use of probiotics. 70% of the immune system lies in the gut. Therefore, increasing the amount of good bacteria could help to tip the balance towards a more robust immune system.

In 2017, a study has shown that probiotics can prevent children with a higher genetic risk from developing eczema.

A 2016 study also concluded that probiotics may have a positive effect on atopic dermatitis treatment.

Allergies and eczema have to be treated via a 2 prong strategy - internally and externally.

Treating it internally refers to the diet and externally refers to lifestyle changes.

 Changing a diet :

• Avoid any food that has triggered the allergies. Do consult your physician if you have not identified the allergens and triggers.
• Take food that is rich in probiotics.

Changing a lifestyle :

Remove allergens from your environment if you are aware of environmental triggers, e.g. dust mites, pollen, animal hair

• Wear natural fabrics to reduce skin irritation.
• Use natural skincare products if possible, e.g. soaps, lotions, detergents

Food Rich in Probiotics like Kefir & Kombucha May Help

Kefir, Kombucha and other fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimbchi etc are high in probiotics and may help manage allergies and eczema in a holistic way. 

We recommend taking kombucha and kefir regularly and externally, we use topical balms to manage inflammation and itch. See below for am example of significant improvement in eczema conditions.

(From left to right: Original milk kefir, original kombucha, 7 day Milk kefir detox)

(From Left to right: Visible mprovement in eczema at neck area after taking eczema detox, eczema detox, kombucha skin balm)

Probiotics are live bacteria and yeast that add to the "good" bacteria in our gut, supporting a healthy digestive system. The live bacteria in probiotics attach to the gut wall, leaving less space for undesirable or "bad" bacteria to grow. This promotes a healthy balance of bacteria in the digestive system, improving its function.

Some foods are naturally rich in probiotics. These include:

• Milk kefir
• Kombucha
• Sauerkraut
• Kimchi
• Natural cocoa powder

• Miso

Benefits of Probiotics

Eating food which is rich in probiotics may have other health benefits, beyond the potential treatment of allergies and eczema. Experimental Benefits include:

• Relieves allergies and maintains skin health
• Improve immune system, especially related ailments such as chronic fatigue syndrome, herpes, cancer and AIDS
• Tranquilizing effect on the nervous system e.g. sleep disorders, depression, and ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder)
• Improves gut health and intestinal disorders with its cleansing effect
• Beneficial for those on diets as it helps eliminate unhealthy food cravings by keeping the body nourished and balanced.
• Regulates blood pH levels
• detoxifies the liver
• Improves energy levels

For Mums

Can I take Kombucha/Kefir when I'm pregnant?

If you have been taking probiotics before or during your pregnancy, you may continue to take probiotic food such as kombucha and kefir. 

If you haven't, then you may want to consult a medical professional.

In what way is probiotics beneficial to my child and me?

Probiotics in the form of natural food is considered very beneficial to pregnant women and their babies. 

According to women's health specialists, pregnant mothers are exceptionally prone to bacterium strep which can be passed to the baby and can cause an infection. Not only that, nursing mothers may develop such infection in the breast and pass it to their babies through breastfeeding. The probiotics in milk kefir and kombucha can prevent the overgrowth of this bacterium called Group B Beta Strep.

Pregnant and nursing mums are advised to take natural probiotic food in order to absorb essential nutrients, increase immunity and aid the body’s adjustment to hormonal changes. Hormonal imbalances cause problems often in the form of irritating and even life threatening infections, such as yeast overgrowth, caused by depletion of good bacteria. Fortunately, probiotic-filled beverages can help prevent and even treat many such infections.

The experimental benefits are not only for mums but can also be passed on to the unborn child and through breastfeeding to nursing babies.

Experimental Benefits

• Relieves allergies and maintains skin health

• Improves immune system

• Tranquilizing effect on the nervous system e.g. sleep disorders, depression, and ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder)

• Improves gut health and intestinal disorders with its cleansing effect

• Regulates blood pH levels

• Detoxifies the liver

• Improves energy levels

*Ps. Do note that information provided by Craft & Culture is not intended to treat or diagnose physical medical conditions. In the event that any adverse reactions occur, please exercise good judgement and decide if medical attention is required.

Disclaimer: All experimental benefits listed can vary from person to person. Our products are helpful for many but may have no effect on some.

For Nursing Mums

Kefir and Kombucha are exceptionally beneficial for nursing mums as the regular consumption helps to render foods consumed more bioavailable to the body. Kefir and Kombucha also helps to promote better absorption of proteins and amino acids in the mother's body, indirectly providing more nutrients to the baby. 

For Kids

How much can my child consume in a day?

Milk Kefir

• 1 year-2 years: 4 tablespoons. 
• 2-3 years: 1/4 bottle (~60 ml)
• 3-5 years: 1/2 bottle (~120 ml)
• 5-7 years: 1 bottle (250 ml)

Kombucha

• 1 year onwards - 1/4 bottle (~60 ml)
• 3-5 years: 1/2 bottle (~120 ml)
• 5-7 years: 1 bottle (250 ml)

How can it help my child?

Probiotics are widely considered to improve children's immune system so that they fall ill less often, and even when they do, they bounce back within days with little or no medication. They may better focus and concentration in school and tend to be less hyperactive if you replace the soft drinks in their diets with a low-sugar alternative like kombucha.

Extensive research on probiotics show promising results on improving the gut-brain axis and the effects of it when it is being used in treating depressive symptoms.

Kombucha is made with black tea, containing Caffeine. Is it safe for kids to consume? 

Even though Kombucha is brewed with tea, the caffeine levels after fermentation are super low. Why? As the stability of caffeine in water is about 3 days in water at room temperature, the resultant levels after fermenting for 4 weeks means that Kombuchas are Pet- and Child-friendly. Kombucha also imparts unique gut flora which help complement the positive bacteria of Milk Kefir. The sugar content in our brews are about 2-4% by bottle volume. 

Why Probiotics for Dogs and Cats?

Most dogs and cats tend to eat lots of dried kibble and drink not nearly enough water. As a variety of pet foods contain high amounts of processed grains and carbohydrates which break down to simple sugars...kicking yeast and skin infections into overdrive!
