PROBUCHA is a new digestive health beverage from [Neuro Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cognitive-wellness-gum) that exists as one of few [shelf-stable live probiotic drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balchem-stabilipro) on the market. As the name of the drink suggests, PROBUCHA combines [probiotics and kombucha](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/probiotic-hydration-powder) to offer benefits to support various aspects of health, including daily and digestive health with a prebiotic and probiotic ingredient combination.

The lightly carbonated probiotic drink is naturally flavored with lemon and ginger and shares probiotic benefits from a single ingredient called Bacillus subtilis. Some of the other ingredients in the beverage are apple cider vinegar, curcumin and fermented tea. As the new beverage from Neuro is shelf-stable, it can safely be stored at room temperature and helps to free up valuable fridge shelf space.
