succinic acid

The so-called succinic acid is often used as a supplementary substance that has a positive effect on the human organism. She serves as antioxidant , is said to promote the recovery of the nervous system and slow down the aging of human cells. It also breaks down acetaldehyde, a toxic by-product of alcohol metabolism and can relieve unpleasant hangover symptoms.

When glucose is broken down, gluconic acid is a by-product of the bacterium Gluconobacter. This bacterium is present both in our intestines and in kombucha.

glucaric acid

Glucaric acid occurs naturally in legumes, fruits and vegetables. She can Accelerate body detoxification and rid the liver of carcinogens, excess hormones and other toxins.

enzymes

vitamin C

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) cannot be produced naturally in the human body. It's for them Production of collagen and the construction of connective tissue responsible. It also shuts down aggressive free radicals that can negatively impact the body. It also supports the formation of certain messenger substances and hormones promotes the absorption of iron in the intestine .

Live lactic acid bacteria

The accumulation of living microorganisms can have a particularly health-promoting effect on the human organism. The intestines in particular can benefit from living lactic acid bacteria.
