Probiotics have become a buzzword in the health and wellness world — but what’s really behind it? Simply put, probiotics are live microorganisms that, when consumed in sufficient amounts, may have a positive impact on health. Let’s take a closer look at what they are and why they matter for your gut.

What Are Probiotics?

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria naturally found in fermented foods like yogurt, sauerkraut, and kombucha. They can help support the balance of bacteria in the gut microbiome — a key part of healthy digestion.

Why Do They Matter for Gut Health?

Our gut is home to trillions of microbes that play a crucial role in digestion, immune defense, and even mood. Probiotic cultures may help maintain this balance and ease common digestive issues like bloating or irregularity.

Our Approach at BOUCHE

While EU regulations currently don’t allow us to label our drinks as “probiotic,” we focus on using live cultures in our kombucha — including strains like Bacillus subtilis, known for their gut-supportive properties. No additives, no gimmicks — just well-crafted fermentation.

The Role of Fermented Foods

Fermented foods like kombucha are a natural source of valuable microbes. And while we don’t use the term “probiotic” in our marketing, we proudly celebrate the rich tradition of fermentation — and everything it brings to your daily routine.

Understanding probiotics and gut health is an ongoing journey. And with every sip of our kombucha — carefully brewed and full of living cultures — you’re taking a small but meaningful step toward balance.
