Pregnant or nursing mothers can drink Kombucha but should not do so in large amounts because it is a fermented tea and contains alcohol and caffeine. No baby or fetus has ever been harmed by the mother drinking Kombucha. The tea can be made with decaf tea. Very infrequently some very few new tea drinkers may experience minor intestinal distress which generally passes after their stomach flora adjusts to the tea.
The tea, like anything intended to be consumed, should be carefully prepared in a clean kitchen environment to prevent any contamination by obnoxious bacteria, yeasts or molds.
The fermentation of any beverage can leach metal molecules so the tea should not be brewed in metal containers or in ceramic containers that might contain lead. Stainless steel is OK.
Excessive consumption of the tea when it is very sour may lead to the development of metabolic acidosis. Normal consumption is about 1 to 3 cups per day, there is no prescribed amount to be taken for any particular ailment. Kombucha is not a drug. You can drink larger amounts of the tea but it is generally not a good idea to consume huge amounts of anything.
Kombucha tea is slightly acidic unless allowed to ferment to a more sour state. If you are taking medication that is sensitive to acidic conditions you should consult with your physician before drinking Kombucha and taking the medicine at the same time.

Testimonial - Cancer & Energy: There is no doubt in my mind tht the tea causes remission of cancer, if not cure cancer completely, and it maintains healthy weight without dieting. It also seems to improve overall energy level and sense of well being. I drink it as does everyone in our house. The children drink it also, and no one has been to a doctor here for over 6 years. . . R.K.
Testimonial - General Health & Vitality: I drank Komucha tea for nearly 10 years and what a blessing it was to me healthwise. I had very high energy levels, didn't have to see a doctor apart from routine medical check ups nor take prescription drugs. I always took the mushroom with me wherever I travelled to in order not to have to go for too long without drinking it. However I went to work abroad for a year and a half and took it with me but got careless and forgot the mushroom on my return to Canada.
As a result I was without the stuff for five months and it was one health problem after the other till this day. Psoriasis, hair loss, acne, flu, which I never had since I started drinking the tea, low energy levels and fatigue.I moved to Vancouver recently and was fortunate enough to find someone in the area over the internet from whom I bought the mushroom to start all over again.
It really worked for me and after my experiences over the last 5 months I don't think I could ever go without drinking the stuff again. Never! .". . . S.K.
There has been a lot of misinformation appearing on the Internet about the dangers of drinking Kombucha tea. . . Most all of it is nonsense.
CLICK HERE to read the FDA Warning on Kombucha. You will note that the FDA has found that Kombucha Tea is safe to drink if prepared in a clean manner. . . It's only common sense that you should prepare anything you intend to drink or eat in a clean manner.
There are rumors that people have died from drinking the tea, again nonsense, if this were the case the FDA would have immediately issued new warnings to that effect. No such warnings exist or have ever been published by either the FDA or CDC (Center for Disease Control) I think I can safely say that more people in one year have died from taking aspirin (about 1000 yearly) than have died, IF ANY, from drinking Kombucha tea in its entire 2000 year history.
One such false "death" rumor started in Iowa back in 1995 when two elderly women became "mysteriously" ill (as reported by the local newspaper and quickly picked up by the national press). Both were found to have been drinking Kombucha Tea and the local town paper immediately offered the wild speculation that their illness were related to drinking this "strange tea". The fact that a lot more people in the same town were also drinking the tea and were not getting mysteriously ill seems to have slipped their notice.

Certain supplement companies are now offering Kombucha in capsule or tablet form at high prices on the internet and in health food stores. The consumer should beware of purchasing these products. There is absolutely NO evidence that these types of Kombucha products have any health benefits. These unscrupulous supplement companies are only attempting to capitalize on the popularity and reputation of Kombucha "the living" tea and they could not care less if their product is valueless and will not improve your health.
The health benefits seen from Kombucha are only realized when you drink the "living" tea. Kombucha tea contains live beneficial bacteria and yeasts and is probiotic. Once the mushroom or the tea is dried, the bacteria are killed and you are only left with an inert powder with no medicinal value, you might as well eat cardboard.
Bottled Kombucha tea is now being expensively sold on the internet and in health foods stores but you can make it at home for about 50 cents per gallon. Commercially produced and bottled tea costs about $3.00 to $4.00 per small bottle and is heavily carbonated. Carbonation is not good for your body in large amounts. Kombucha tea is a fermented living tea which quickly turns sour when capped and bottled unless it is pasteurized or kept very cold. Kombucha extracts are nothing more than overly fermented Kombucha tea that has turned vinegary and is another consumer ripoff.
Testimonial - Energy: I just finished my first week with Kombucha and right now I am in the process of starting the brew of my fourth batch. Let me tell you, I was skeptical of all the claims made about this elixir. The key word being was!! If nothing more, my energy level has increased dramatically this week, the tea is wonderful for that. Thank you for introducing me to this wonder tea. . . M.E.A.
Some sellers of Kombucha mushrooms are also trying to convince the consumer that their mushrooms and cultures are better than others. They often give exotic names to their mushrooms such as "Himalayan Kombucha", Real Chinese or "Royal Kombucha" in hopes of selling them at inflated prices. They even may add food coloring to the tea, which the mushroom is grown in, to give it an exotic color.
There is no evidence that any Kombucha mushroom or culture is any more beneficial than another. A few individuals selling Kombucha on the internet even add phony medical degree abbreviations behind their names to convince you to make your purchase from them.
Some others who sell Kombucha products on the internet attempt to sell you more than you need to make Kombucha Tea. They offer expensive kits to make the tea. They are selling you, at higher cost, what you can easily obtain for yourself, regular tea, sugar, and a large glass jar. Kombucha Tea is very easy to make and people have been making it at home for over 2000 years. We provide full instructions on how to do it properly, it is easy to make!
Kombucha America has been providing Kombucha Mushroom cultures for well over a decade. We resent companies that seek to take advantage of people who are seeking a remedy for their health problems by offering worthless Kombucha products at inflated prices or by employing deceptive sales practices. If you are seeking a health remedy it is best that you drink the fresh "living" Kombucha tea which you can easily make yourself at home for FREE!
