New Trial Finds Kombucha Improves Health Markers but Fails to Reduce Stress
A new eight-week trial by Aberystwyth University researchers found that daily kombucha consumption improved certain health-related chemical markers in the blood and urine of 40 participants, but it did not significantly reduce stress levels. While the drink contains beneficial compounds like polyphenols, experts warn that it is not a substitute for a balanced diet and that commercial products vary widely in quality.
