Health-Ade

So you've heard about Health-Ade, right? This isn't just another kombucha brand trying to ride the gut health wave-these folks have been brewing their bubbly magic since 2012, and honestly, they've kind of perfected the art.

Started by a nutritionist, her husband, and her best friend at the Brentwood Farmers' Market, what began as a dream to make the best tasting, highest quality kombucha quickly evolved into much more. And that "much more" is what makes them interesting. They're brewed in Los Angeles and proud to make the best tasting, organic, and highest quality fermented kombucha tea, full of probiotics.

But here's what sets them apart from the dozens of other kombucha brands crowding grocery store shelves: they ferment 100% in glass to prevent plastic and metal leaching, produce in super-small 2.5 gallon batches for premium quality, and flavor only with the highest quality ingredients possible, like raw cold-pressed juice from organic produce. That's not marketing speak-that's actually how they do it.

Their kombucha has between 5-15mg of caffeine per serving, similar to the amount in a cup of decaf coffee. A 16 oz bottle contains about 80 calories, which is pretty reasonable when you consider you're getting probiotics and organic acids that actually do something for your gut health.

Notice how they've expanded beyond just kombucha? They've added SunSip, their gut-healthy soda with benefits, because apparently they figured out that not everyone wants to drink fermented tea all the time. Smart move. Each SunSip can contains 6 grams of sugar or less and 40 calories or less.

They're distributed across 18,000+ stores nationwide and are one of the fastest growing and top performing national brands in the marketplace. That's not accidental-when Millie Bobby Brown says she can't live without your product and keeps her fridge stocked with it, you're doing something right.

The thing about Health-Ade is they've managed to scale without losing that farmers market authenticity. Their mission has always been to inspire you to discover the power of your gut to become your happiest and healthiest self. Sounds a bit grandiose, but when you taste their Pink Lady Apple or Ginger-Lemon flavors, you kind of get it.
