Metabolic balancing and detoxification is accomplished through the actions of several acids naturally present in the tea. The first is glucuronic acid, which is normally produced in the liver, a powerful detoxifier. It effects are being able to pull toxins, including environmental toxins such as pesticides, herbicides, from the body. It also helps in the removal of metabolic waste products,
such as uric acid and cholesterol. Research believes that glucuronic acid, a by-product of kombucha, aid in enhancing the body's immune system as part of this detoxifying support. Another acid contained within kombucha is lactic acid. Lactic acid helps to increase the body's energy supply by increasing oxygen levels in the blood and enhancing cellular respiration. It also helps to balance the pH of the blood and supports liver functions. This acid encourages the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestines, which in turn, improves digestion and aids the body in breaking down nutrients.
Kombucha cultures or Manchurian tea also contains other important organic acids such as acetic acid, an antiseptic that inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria. Usnic acid, a natural antibiotic, and gluconic acid which helps to protect the digestive tract. Also contained is malic acid which aids in preventing muscle fatigue and oxalic acid which stimulates energy at the cellular level. This is just the beginning of the beneficial substances contained within the cultured tea. However since the kombucha/Manchurian tea is a living organism the composition is not standardized and may vary from batch to batch. The type of tea used, steeping time of the tea, amount of time that the tea is allowed to ferment, and the strength of the kombucha culture all effect the potency of the finished product. This is one reason to obtain a fresh culture and to use organic ingredients when brewing your own batches of tea.
