Where do you find kombucha in Phuket?

Normally you can find kombucha in the grocery store in the chilled beverage section, typically near the juices and beers. You can also look for kombucha in natural food stores or specialty stores that focus on health and wellness products. 7/11 also sell kombucha, but it’s low quality kombucha in terms of not being full of the beneficial probiotic bacterias that give you maximum gut health. We have a tonne of places you can buy KombuchaWOW! from – from high-end hotels such as Marriott Renaissance and Serenity Resorts, through to the many cafes and restaurants around Phuket.

The recommended frequency of kombucha consumption depends on your personal health goals and preferences. Some people like to drink kombucha daily, while others prefer to enjoy it a few times a week. It’s important to listen to your body and adjust your kombucha consumption accordingly. Here at KombuchaWOW! we recommend a maximum of two cans daily for the best gut health and overall health benefits.

Is kombucha good for you?

Yes! Kombucha is considered a healthy drink due to its probiotic content and potential health benefits. However, it’s important to note that not all kombucha is created equal. Some kombucha products contain added sugars or artificial ingredients, so it’s crucial to read the labels carefully. Additionally, you want to really be looking for a kombucha brand that is raw and unpasteurized. This means the drink has all the beneficial bacteria for your best gut health – rather than just be like any other soda. KombuchaWOW! offers a pure and natural kombucha option that you can feel good about drinking.

What is the best time to drink kombucha?

There’s no right or wrong time to drink kombucha, but many people prefer to enjoy it in the morning, as an alternative to coffee. Some people also like to drink kombucha in the afternoon as a pick-me-up, or in the evening as a way to wind down. Remember there’s caffeine in kombucha as it’s base ingredient is tea – so beware of drinking too late if you want a good night’s sleep!
