Guest guest Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I've read many different places that the 'buzz' is from the B vitamins. I never really believed it until recently I went to the Dr and he wanted to give me a B12 shot. Almost immediately after the shot I had the same 'buzz' experience I get from the kombucha. They would not even let me leave the examine room until it passed. The Dr. said it was VERY common among those who are low in B vitamins to have a shot affect them that way. So, I'm a believer in the B vitamins in kombucha now! Seriously - a bottle of beer has just as much alcohol as one of my bottle of kombucha and a single beer has NEVER giving me a buzz like kombucha. Just my 2 cents, > > I'm new to drinking kombucha, and I'm also very sensitive to caffeine and sugar. The kombucha I'm making tastes very yummy!

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 If you're so concerned about the caffeine, why aren't you preparing kombucha with decaff tea? I'm curious. I personally drink (and have for many, many years)about 6-cups of regular coffee daily. Black, no sugar. I use only quality coffee and never get caffeine buzzes. However, I have experienced a light head rush/buzz and increased energy a few times from KT, so I doubt it's the caffeine doing it(JMHO). > > I'm new to drinking kombucha, and I'm also very sensitive to caffeine and sugar.
