Pasteurisation involves heat. Heat kills the good bacteria so therefore Raw kombucha is more beneficial from a health aspect.

No, at 60°C the good bacteria will go dormant and above that, they will be killed off.

+ I don’t want sugar!

We only use organic raw sugar cane and the SCOBY (the living bacteria) absorbs most of the sugar creating probiotics. From the nutritional analysis our Kombucha’s only have between 10 and 15 calories per 100ml.

Start off with a half a bottle a day for a few days, after that you can have as much as you like.

Although our kombucha is completely safe and it is good to have probiotics and antioxidants when you are pregnant, it is not advisable to have anything raw. Always with check with your doctor.

+ What is the Turmeric Shot good for?

Turmeric is highly anti inflammatory but only works by having enough quantity. We use large amounts of fresh root, in order to make sure it is doing what it is meant to do. It also helps renew liver cells. There are many studies out there on the effects of turmeric bowel disease and various cancers.

+ I have tried other Turmeric drinks that tasted sweeter!

Our Turmeric is formulated by a naturopathic nutritional therapist to achieve maximum health benefits. This is exactly what it does. We treat it as a medicine as that is how it works. Some others sweeten it with apple juice etc which means the parentage of turmeric is less. Feel free to sweeten ours but make sure you have the correct measure with it.

+ Is it safe to take whilst on medication?

Always check with your doctor anyway but in this case especially if taking anti coagulants. Turmeric is known to interfere with Warfarin. It naturally thins the blood so is why we do not recomend it is taken with blood thining madication.

Have one 35ml shot a day for maintenance and to keep inflammation down. If you have a flare up of aches and pains or have joint pain, then have 2 – 3 shots a day, spread throughout the day.

Dandelion Coffee

+ Is there caffeine in the Dandelion Coffee?

Dandelion Root, which is what this is, is amazing for detoxification because it stimulates liver secretions and bile flow. It is a natural prebiotic too which helps support the good bacteria in the gut.

+ How should I drink it?

You can take some out and warm it up, around a third to half of your cup, then top it up milk. We recommend Oat or almond. It is delicious over ice with oat milk too, or cold with coconut water. Some have it black with a dash of MCT oil which works well if on a Keto diet, Or some mix it with a shot of their regular coffee.

General

+ Will your products help me lose weight?

All of our products support the liver and help balance the gut. If these two organs are out of balance it is very difficult to lose weight. So the answer is yes if taken daily alongside a balanced diet and exercise.

+ Do these products need to be refrigerated?

Yes! The Turmeric Shot and Dandelion Coffee need to be refrigerated just to prolong the shelf life, The kombucha needs to be to stop fermentation as it is raw. If fermentation continues, this would cause more gas to build up inside the bottle and eventually blow the top off. Continued fermentation over time would also eventually cause the kombucha to become alcoholic.

+ How long does the product last once opened?

We recommend to drink our products within two weeks once opened. The use by date applies to the bottle if refrigerated and unopened.

+ Which product will help build my Immune system?

All of our products help build the Immune system because they support the liver and the gut which is the core of our immune systems. We would recommend to have a combination of all. However, if you could only choose one, go for a kombucha because of the antioxidants and the good bacteria. 70% of the Immune system is made in the gut. It can still help reduce some infammation too.
