Expanding on its suite of gut health-centric products, fermented beverage pioneers MOJO has released MOJO Kombucha Soda; a kombucha with fibre that offers a prebiotic effect to support gut health.
Designed to “support a different aspect of gut health than regular fermented beverages,” MOJO Kombucha Soda is made with prebiotic fibre, the favourite snacks of our good gut bugs. Launching in three delicious varieties, the new range is “perfect for people seeking a tasty low sugar drink or a satisfying alternative to alcohol.”
“We understand that gut health support is far more complex than just probiotics,” explains MOJO CEO, Anthony Crabb.
“Our team set out to create a tasty and convenient way for people to add to the prebiotic fibre in their daily routine, ensuring that our products are helping supporting the health of Australian microbiomes in a way that is new in the kombucha category.
“We’re continuing our mission to help people understand gut health and discover how good it feels when you go with your gut.”
MOJO Kombucha Soda is authentically fermented, low sugar and stevia free and contains 2.5g dietary fibre per serve.
Nutrition Scientist and Dietitian, Dr Joanna McMillan, explains, “Prebiotics are types of fibre that stimulate the growth of healthy bacteria in the gut. They’re found in lots of fruits and vegetables like artichoke, garlic, onion and asparagus, bananas, apples and wholegrains like barley and oats. These fibres can’t be digested, so they pass through the digestive system and become dinner for our good bacteria.”
Dr McMillan says we need good sources of both prebiotics and probiotics for healthy guts.
“Incorporating prebiotic fibre to feed our good bugs means our microbiome can function effectively. Our gut is central to all interaction between our diet and our health. If our gut is not healthy, then we cannot get all the nutrients we need from the food and drinks we consume.”
MOJO Kombucha Soda contains 2.5g dietary fibre per serve/can, is low in sugar, vegan, gluten free, and is NASAA Certified Organic. Available in a 250mL slim can in three varieties Tropical Twirl, Cola Kiss, and Berry Blitz, MOJO Kombucha Soda has a RRP of $2.39 per can or $8.99 per multipack. Available at independent retailers nationally.
