The SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast) needs sugar and caffeine to thrive. During fermentation, it consumes both, and the process is halted at the right time to keep Pro Mojo's kombucha tangy but not overly sour or sweet.

Post fermentation and flavouring, the caffeine level in Pro Mojo’s Kombucha also drops significantly—about 4 mg per 100 ml, compared to 20 mg per 100 ml in regular black tea. So, Pro Mojo’s kombucha is a mildly caffeinated, kid-friendly alternative for those who already enjoy tea or coffee.

Pro Mojo's Kombucha is fermented using organically sourced unrefined brown sugar, which is better than refined cane sugar or white sugar, and has lesser calorie content, with slightly more minerals. As Pro Mojo's Kombucha is slightly longer fermented, which means the amount of sugars left post-fermentation is low, and with NO added sugars or artificial sweeteners; it is not very sweet like a soft drink or soda based beverages available from quite many brands.

Moreover, all flavours of Pro Mojo's Kombucha will have naturally occurring sugars of fruits or honey in them as they are made with 100% natural and organic ingredients using cold pressed juices of fruits or honey (in Ginger Mint Honey and Immuno Punch).

Depending on the flavours, the sugars in Pro Mojo's kombucha post-fermentation and including naturally occurring sugars of fruits and honey; ranges from - 3gms/100ml to 5.2gms/100ml.

So bottom line, yes, it is a healthy, raw and living drink!

If you have never consumed Kombucha before or have taken it sparingly, and now will be consuming it to address some gut issues; then follow the mantra – slow and steady, and be consistent!

Start slowly, but be consistent. Take 25-50ml a day (by pouring it out in a glass and don’t take sip from the bottle directly), for 1-2 days. Let your body adjust, then increase it to 100ml or more, as your body tells you! Remember, it’s a healthy drink, not a medicine!

Our general recommendation for anyone consuming it on a regular basis is to restrict it to 300-350ml a day.

And it is always best to consult your nutritionist or doctor on how often to consume it.

If you're new to kombucha or gut health in general, it's best to avoid drinking it on an empty stomach. Instead, consume it midday or after a meal or light snack, such as fruit, to support better tolerance.

Once your body is accustomed to it, the optimal time to consume kombucha depends on individual response and preference. An easy way to go with is - listen to your body, and consume kombucha at the time that makes you feel the best!

For more detailed understanding about when to consume Kombucha, refer to our blog post - the best time to consume Kombucha.

Traditionally, Kombucha is brewed raw, unfiltered, and unpasteurized to retain its full probiotic benefits. Our kombucha follows the same practice—meaning the live cultures of beneficial microbes remain active and continue to grow naturally.

Regardless of the flavour you choose, every bottle is fermented with a live SCOBY. So if you notice strands floating or sediment at the bottom, don’t worry—that's the natural culture at work. It’s a sign your kombucha is alive and thriving, not spoiled!

As the Kombucha ages (within a bottle or jar), it consumes the naturally occurring sugars in Kombucha - both from the organic unrefined brown sugar we use to brew Kombucha and the simple sugars of fruits or ingredients used to flavour Kombucha. And getting more food, allows microbes to grow more, and thus allowing more microbes to enter your gut, when you consume them!

You can always shake the bottle slightly before opening and consuming, to mix the floating strands of SCOBY and ingredients, and get a uniform drink.

Very short:
Store kombucha in the refrigerator and keep it away from direct sunlight to preserve its quality. Do not freeze it.

Slightly longer:
Like many fermented foods (such as idli/dosa batter or curd), kombucha naturally develops a tangy, slightly sour taste due to live microbes producing acids during fermentation.

Since Pro Mojo’s kombucha is raw, unfiltered, and unpasteurized with active cultures, it needs refrigeration to slow down fermentation and maintain its flavor. However, it’s fairly resilient—leaving it out for a few hours or even a day won’t make it overly sour, so you can easily carry it on your day trips without worry 🙂

Children can definitely drink Kombucha in moderation, but it’s best to choose lab tested brands like Pro Mojo and offer them occasionally — not as a daily beverage.

Yes, but with caution.

Kombucha contains trace amounts of alcohol, caffeine (see above FAQs), and is usually unpasteurized. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, it's best to consult your doctor before consuming it. If approved, choose lab-tested Kombucha like Pro Mojo and drink it in moderation.

The ideal quantity of milk kefir you should consume daily can vary based on individual factors such as your health goals, gut tolerance, and overall diet.

However, based on several studies and expert recommendations, the general guideline is about 1 to 2 cups (240 ml–480 ml) per day for an adult without causing side effects like bloating etc. For children, smaller doses 1/4 to 1/2 cup per day are recommended, depending on age and tolerance.

Like Kombucha, best time for consuming Kefir may vary for different individuals and largely depends on your health goals, but morning on an empty stomach is typically the most effective for probiotic benefits. If you’re focusing on digestion or sleep, before meals or at night may be ideal.

Below is a summary of best time to consume Kefir:

• Morning (Empty Stomach): Best for probiotic effectiveness.

  Consuming kefir on an empty stomach can maximize its probiotic benefits. Probiotics thrive in your digestive system when it isn’t overwhelmed with other foods. Studies have shown that probiotics are more likely to survive and colonize the gut when consumed before food, as this allows them to pass more quickly through the stomach, where they face lower acidity levels compared to post-meal.

• Before or with Meals: Enhances digestion and nutrient absorption

  Consuming kefir before or with a meal can aid in digestion. The probiotic bacteria in kefir help break down food in your stomach and support better nutrient absorption.

• Evening (1–2 Hours Before Bed): Supports sleep due to tryptophan content.

  Kefir’s tryptophan content may help improve sleep. Tryptophan is an amino acid, which is a building block of protein. Your body can’t make tryptophan on its own, so you need to get it from food like milk, cheese, and kefir. Tryptophan helps your body produce serotonin and melatonin (the twin brothers (or sisters?) every adult would have heard of during these days 🙂 — the chemicals that make you feel relaxed and ready for sleep. This is why kefir can be helpful to drink before bed for a better night’s sleep!

Yes, absolutely! Children of all age groups can easily consume it. We have few our customers giving it to their infants when they started weaning their babies, while most give to their toddlers.

Unlike Kombucha, milk Kefir is a food, made from completely natural source - milk - and Pro Mojo's Kefir is made using Akshyakalpa's A2 organic milk - devoid of antibiotics. Moreover, with no other ingredients and with low lactose content, it is perfect for kids.

For more details on how much to give it to your child, read our blog - can kids drink milk Kefir?

Here's a quick guide on how to store milk Kefir:

• Keep Pro Mojo’s Kefir refrigerated at all times. Do not freeze.

• As a live culture, Kefir continues fermenting in the fridge, which may cause slight whey separation (normal!).

• To keep it consistent, “burp” the bottle to release CO2, then mix the whey back in before consuming.

• Always pour the amount you need into a separate container and close the bottle. Wipe the bottle’s mouth (outside) with a clean finger to keep it free of any growth.

• Shelf Life: Pro Mojo's Kefir lasts 15 days when stored properly in the fridge. For best taste, consume within 7 days after opening.

Pro Mojo's Kanji is made using all organically sourced ingredients, and includes the following:

• beets and orange carrots – which give it deep-red purple colour and antioxidants
• mustard seeds – which add spice and help in fermentation
• salt (himalayan rock and pink salt) – preserves and helps good bacteria grow
• spices like red chili, hing (asafoetida), turmeric are added for extra flavour
• mineral water – which is the base in which the fermentation happens

Known as the powerhouse of antioxidants, vitamin C & B12 and being rich in natural probiotics, Kanji supports gut and liver health, improves digestion, improves appetite, reduces sugar cravings, boosts immunity & detoxes the body.

It's a perfect, no sugar, vegan beverage for someone who doesn't want to try other fermented products like Kombucha, Kefir, Sauerkraut etc.

Like other fermented, probiotic foods and beverages, Pro Mojo's take on Kanji consumption is that it depends not only on the age group of the person but also on health goals or condition for which one is consuming it.

So the amount will vary if a healthy adult or a child or a person who is diabetic is consuming it.

Here's a quick reference visual guide for those short on time:

And for those who like to get more details 🙂

Healthy adults: 100–150 ml per day, enough to get probiotics and antioxidants without overwhelming your digestion.

Beginners to fermented drinks: start small - 30–50 ml - for the first 3–4 days, allowing your gut to adjust to probiotics and preventing bloating. Then increase it as per preference or can double it.

Diabetics: 50–100 ml per day, preferably with a meal, as beetroots and carrots have natural sugars — pairing with food helps slow sugar absorption.

People with IBS or sensitive gut: start small - 20–50 ml - initially, monitor your body’s reaction, as fermented foods can trigger symptoms if introduced too quickly.

With low blood pressure: small serving (50–100 ml) occasionally, and not daily, as beetroots may lower blood pressure further in some individuals.

Children (3+ years): generally a tangy, salty beverage is not kid's favourite 🙂 but 30–50 ml diluted with water should be good for those who like it's taste! Moreover, it helps to introduce then to fermented flavors and probiotics, in a slow manner.

Pregnant or lactating mothers: only after consulting a doctor, typically 50–100 ml.

Again, please consult your nutritionist or Doctor or look at your health goals when you consume Kanji and wish to determine 'how much should I drink everyday?'.

Also, follow the mantra - listen to your body - and adjust the amounts as your body tells you!

As mentioned, Kanji has numerous benefits, so it is best to consider the best time to consume Kanji on the basis of what is your health goal.

Short summary:

Kanji is most effective when consumed before meals or mid-morning, aligning with its natural benefits — digestive support, immunity boost, detox aid, and weight management. Regular intake, paired with meals or on an empty stomach, ensures you maximize its probiotic, antioxidant, and nutritional impact.

Detailed version follows 🙂

1. As an appetizer/digestive Aid

• The beauty of Kanji is, it aids both as an appetizer and a digestive aid. It can ease bloating, indigestion, and gas.

• So if you are looking to increase your digestive fire, the best time to consume it is before a meal — roughly 30 minutes prior — can prime your digestive system for better nutrient absorption and smoother digestion.

• Feeling heavy after a spicy or heavy meal? A small shot of Kanji (30-50ml), would be good to help ease digestion.

2. Immunity and detox support

• Rich in probiotics, vitamin C, antioxidants, and organic acids, Kanji helps balance gut microbiota — critical for immune function — while aiding detoxification via liver-supported processes.

• Best time: consuming it mid-morning or early afternoon, when metabolism is quite active is a good idea.

3. Liver health & detox

• Its organic acids (like lactic and acetic acid) and high antioxidant content help stimulate liver detox pathways and support overall vitality.

• Best time: early day, especially on an empty stomach, to aid natural detox rhythms.

4. Skin health & anti-ageing

• Abundant in anthocyanins and antioxidants from beets, Kanji helps fight oxidative stress and supports gut-skin health, giving a clearer complexion.

• Best time: with meals - as it helps buffer acidity while still delivering skin-supportive compounds.

5. Weight management

• Low in calories, high in fiber, and probiotic-rich, Kanji promotes satiety, slows sugar absorption, and supports balanced metabolism.

• Best time: with meals or mid-morning, as a filling, gut-friendly beverage that curbs unnecessary snacking and reduces sugar cravings.

Remember, each individual is different. So, what has worked for your friend or family member, for the same goal or reason; may not be the same for you. So try to experiment and play around with the rules!

Yes, absolutely! It is a safe, with no sugars, completely natural, fermented, probiotic beverage for every age group.

Generally a tangy, salty beverage is not kid's favourite 🙂 but you can follow a kid-friendly approach to offer it to them.

• Dilute & sweeten naturally

  • Mix 1–2 tbsp of Kanji with ½ cup water and a little fresh fruit juice (orange, apple, pomegranate or whatever your kid likes).

  • This balances tanginess with a mild sweetness without refined sugar.

  • Gradually reduce juice over time as they adapt to the taste.

• Serve chilled or as a popsicle

  • Golden rule: cold temperatures mute sourness!

  • Freeze diluted Kanji in popsicle molds with bits of fruit—turns it into a fun, probiotic-rich treat!

• Pair with familiar foods

  • Offer in a small shot glass alongside snacks kids like (paratha, chilla, idli).

  • Familiar food helps mask new flavours!

Please let us know if you have tried giving Kanji to your little ones, to make it appealing to them, and we will be happy to link it here or add it in the list!

Yes! Always store Pro Mojo's Kanji in the refrigerator (4–8 °C) to slow fermentation and prevent excessive sourness or gas build-up. Kindly do not freeze it!

As is true with any raw, unpasteurized, fermented product; if it is left outside, it will become more sour - so is the case with Pro Mojo's Kanji.

So kindly refrigerate your Kanji once you receive it from us (if not in cold conditions) or other organic/grocery stores where Pro Mojo's Kanji is available.

Freezing is not recommended—it may kill beneficial bacteria and alter taste/texture.

As Kanji has a base of water, the rest of the ingredients will settle down and it may appear thin in texture and taste, when ice melts back at room temperature.

Leaving aside the fun of seeing some bubbles/fizz in a completely, non-carbonated beverage :), this is normal in live, probiotic-rich Kanji due to natural fermentation. Open slowly over a sink to avoid spillage.

As Pro Mojo's Kanji is unpasteurised, raw; we recommend consuming it within 7 days to get similar taste as you got on day 1 of opening the bottle.

Make sure the cap is closed tightly and don't take a sip directly from the bottle, instead pour out the required quantity in a glass.

It’s normal — it’s made of beetroot/carrot particles besides turmeric, mustard seeds and beneficial cultures. Just swirl before pouring!

Gently invert or swirl (don’t shake vigorously) to mix the sediment without causing excessive fizz.

Remember, Kanji has sedimentation at the bottom of the ingredients (like turmeric, mustard seeds) and the live culture. The more rigorously you shake it, the stronger the taste of these ingredients will be!

Pro Mojo's Sauerkraut is made using rock salt, which acts like a security guard. It keeps harmful bacteria away while letting friendly ones do their work.

Imagine cabbage leaves throwing a little party in a bowl. When rock salt joins the party, it starts pulling water out of the cabbage (through osmosis) - like a gentle squeeze! This water and salt mix becomes a magic potion called brine.

Now here’s where the real magic begins: the brine keeps the bad germs out, and invites the good bacteria to come dance and do their job - turning plain cabbage into tasty, tangy fermented food!

So, with just salt and a little time, cabbage becomes something super cool and delicious!

The friendly bacteria produce lactic acid, which makes it sour. It’s like lemons - their sourness comes from citric acid. In Sauerkraut, the sourness comes from lactic acid.

Yes - if it’s raw and not pasteurized, like Pro Mojo's Sauerkraut - it’s full of live, friendly bacteria (probiotics)!

Like how a garden is alive with tiny creatures you can’t see, Sauerkraut is alive with beneficial bacteria that help your gut.

Your gut is like a crowded city, full of tiny citizens (microbes). Some are helpful, some are not-so-helpful. Eating Sauerkraut adds more “good citizens” to the city, which can keep things peaceful and balanced.

The probiotics in Sauerkraut help in improving digestion, enhancing immunity, and nutrient absorption.

Start small, like planting seeds in a garden. Begin with a spoonful a day so your gut “city” can get used to new citizens. Gradually increase to a few tablespoons. Too much too fast may cause gas and bloating.

Best with meals - like inviting a helper to the kitchen when you’re cooking. It aids digestion when food is being processed.

Keep refrigerated at 4-8° C, submerged in its salty juice (brine). Use a clean, dry spoon every time to take out the required quantity.

Yes, mostly. It’s safe for children, adults, and elderly- but in small amounts. It's actually a good way to help kids introduce to salads.

Like spicy pickles - good in moderation, but not for everyone.

Note: People with high blood pressure (because of salt) or histamine intolerance should check with a doctor.
