A study on roundworms suggests that the microbes associated with kombucha tea can colonize the gut and lead to a rewired fat metabolism, similar to the benefits of fasting in humans. While some small studies have shown potential benefits for intestinal health, more research, especially in human clinical trials, is needed to confirm these findings and understand the mechanisms behind kombucha's purported health benefits.
