Benefits of Tibico Fermented Fruit Drinks (FFD's)

Tibico is the only water kefir that is a true fermented fruit drink.

A slow ferment over 10 days, our rich Tibico beverage is not only a full flavoursome fruit drink with all the sugar consumed by the probiotics .... but packs a punch when it comes to health benefits.

Tibico offers various health benefits, including improved gut health, enhanced nutrient absorption, and immune support.

Fermentation increases the availability of vitamins and minerals and removes undesirable compounds such as pesticide residues. The Tibico process even adds new beneficial compounds, such as billions of probiotics, polyphenols, B and C vitamins, GABA (a powerful neurotransmitter) and an abundance of amino acids (the building blocks of all protein).

Here's a more detailed look at the benefits:

1. Probiotic Source:

Tibico, an FFD is rich in probiotics, beneficial bacteria that support a healthy gut microbiome, which is crucial for digestion and overall well-being.
Probiotics also contribute to a stronger immune system.

2. Enhanced Nutrient Absorption:

Fermentation increases the bioavailability of nutrients, making them easier for the body to absorb.
This includes vitamins and minerals, which are better utilised after fermentation when they enter the body's digestive system.

3. Removal of Undesirable Compounds:

Fermentation can break down or remove undesirable compounds that may cause digestive issues.
This includes compounds that can cause gas or bloating.

4. Increased Antioxidants:

Fermentation increases the levels of antioxidants.
Antioxidants help protect the body from damage caused by free radicals.

5. Potential Brain Health Benefits:

Research suggests that fermented foods, including fruits, can positively impact brain health by supporting the production of mood-regulating neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).
This can potentially help improve symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression.

6. Other Potential Benefits:

Fermented fruits may also contribute to weight management, says ZOE.
They can also have a positive impact on cardiovascular health and blood sugar regulation, says ZOE.
