You will find some of these naturally occurring in kombucha. As the yeast ferments in your kombucha brew it creates B1, B6, and B12 vitamins, which have been proven to help stabilize mood. Kombucha also contains Vitamin C, which is known to block the release of cortisol, a stress hormone. Not only is kombucha filled with good vitamins, they are bioavailable, which means it is easy for your body to absorb and utilize. 

How kombucha can reduce anxiety in your body. Creates Balance - Kombucha is an adaptogen, meaning it helps create homeostasis (balance) in the body. This aides in reducing the negative effects that physical and biological stressors can have on us. Adaptogens can help our bodies reduce free radicals that cause oxidative stress and help normalize systems. The trace alcohol and bioavailability also enable our whole bodies to experience the benefits and not just one particular part or system. 

It is becoming increasingly evident that the connection between the brain in our head and the brain in our gut is important for physical and emotional well being.
