On the Kombucha wiki page, I plan to contribute more on what the tea can do to benefit mood. I will discuss how the drink is a probiotic and how probiotics clean out your gut. Because serotonin is mainly produced in the gut and a cleaner gut produces more serotonin, Kombucha is a mood boosting drink.

Eyesight Kombucha has been said to help with eyesights problems as well. There was an instance with Donna Schwenk, who is a firm believer in cultured foods and its endless list of benefits. Her husband was told he would need surgery on his eyes for his rapidly growing cataracts. However, after he started drinking Kombucha a few times a day, everyday, the cataracts eventually stopped growing. Though this instance was not fully proven to be the result of the kombucha, the drink was the only change this man made to his lifestyle. Donna has no doubt that Kombucha somehow helped her husband's cataracts but has also posted a disclaimer that her experience should not replace professional medical advice. https://www.culturedfoodlife.com/did-kombucha-heal-my-husbands-eyes/

Mood Benefits This fermented drink also is proven to boost mood by relieving stress and increase general happiness. According to a study done by CalTech, 90% of serotonin (the happy, stress relieving hormone) is produced in the digestive tract. http://www.caltech.edu/news/microbes-help-produce-serotonin-gut-46495 Kombucha is a fermented product, like kefir or greek yogurt, and when something is fermented it contains probiotic. Probiotics are beneficial to health because it cleans out the digestive tract in the body. http://www.health.com/nutrition/info-about-kombucha So when Kombucha is consumed, the probiotics clean and replenish the gut, creating a more efficient environment to create and release serotonin, giving Kombucha drinkers have a happy boost to their day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Srmcgraw1 (talk • contribs) 04:13, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
