The Take
Synergy Kombucha is not healthy. It is sugared tea sold as gut medicine.
Organic cane sugar feeds the SCOBY during fermentation and leaves residual sweetness in the bottle. Juice concentrates in flavored versions add more fructose without improving the core product.
The Verdict
The raw culture and black tea deliver what the label promises. Everything else is branding that keeps the sugar in the equation.
Skip the bottle. Brew your own with loose-leaf tea and raw sugar.
