Fermented tea kombucha shows promise in reducing depression-like behaviors, animal study reveals

University of Minnesota, October 20 2026 (Natural News)

Researchers found kombucha consumption linked to fewer depression-like behaviors in mice across different diets.

The fermented tea altered gut bacteria composition, affecting pathways involved in tryptophan metabolism and serotonin production.

Behavioral benefits varied by diet type, with Western-diet mice showing additional anxiety reduction and brain chemistry changes.

Mice on standard diets experienced increased short-chain fatty acids, supporting gut barrier function.
