Key takeaways Kombucha is a fermented beverage made from black tea and something called a SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast). Fans of kombucha say the drink can lower blood sugar, improve cholesterol, boost mood, detoxify the liver, and more. Most of what we know about kombucha’s benefits comes from animal studies; there is a significant lack of human trials proving any clear benefit.
