Kombucha holds a special place among the beverages. You may find it everywhere from supermarket shelves to workplace refrigerators and even in restaurants and cafés. As this fermented fizzy drink grew in demand, so did claims of its health gains, from improved digestion, metabolism, immunity, liver function, heart health and more.

Researchers believe only randomized, clinical trials on people could help clear up the misinformation and uncertainty over kombucha health benefits.
