EXPLORING THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND NUTRIOTIONAL BENEFITS OF KOMBUCHA PRODUCTION FOR SPORTS AND WORK IN EXTERE CONDITIONS

Abstract

Abstract. This paper explores the nutritional benefits of kombucha, especially for people aged 20-40 who exercise intensely or work in extreme conditions. Underlining the rich composition of kombucha in antioxidants, organic acids, and probiotics, the paper discusses its potential to improve athletic performance, promote early recovery, and improve overall health. The research results show the perspectives of introducing kombucha into the diet of active people not only as a healthy alternative to sugary drinks but also as a strategic choice to promote physical and mental well-being in a challenging environment. The paper calls for further clinical trials to fill the existing knowledge gaps and ensure the safe and effective use of kombucha as a dietary supplement.
