Kombucha: A Comprehensive Guide to Its Health Benefits

5. Losing Weight
Among the various claims about kombucha, perhaps the easiest to prove is that it helps people lose weight. There are several reasons for this. People drinking kombucha are more likely to lead healthy lives, and the tea is a slightly healthier alternative to drinks like sodas. However, it may have intrinsic weight-related effects, too. In a 2000 study, kombucha inhibited weight gain in mice, even though kombucha-drinking mice ate and drank more in comparison to the control group.
