Eve told Express.co.uk just how the drink could boost good quality sleep.
She said: “Like other fermented foods because kombucha can contain microbes that are beneficial for our gut it may have a positive influence on the gut-brain connection and the neurotransmitters that govern our sleep-wake cycle.”
However, she did stress kombucha alone won’t be enough to guarantee a good night’s sleep.
It is still important to maintain other healthy habits for sleep.
Eve said: “Supporting good quality and quantity of sleep requires addressing myriad factors such as hormonal factors, adequate intake of fibre and protein, caffeine and alcohol consumption, device use and stress to name a few.”
