💡 Smart Nutritional Guidance
Consumption advice
Start with half a glass (120 ml) a day with lunch until your digestion gets used to it, then you can drink a full glass (250 ml) to refresh your digestion.
Best preparation methods
Drink it chilled and choose raw, unpasteurised kinds so the probiotics stay alive; avoid brands that add sugar or artificial flavours after fermentation.
Important Nutritional Note
The bacteria use up a large part of the sugar during fermentation to make beneficial organic acids, so the glycemic index does not apply, but a glass (250 ml) still contains about 11 g of residual sugar, which people with diabetes should count.
