Is anyone else curious about the currently popular GTS Organic & Raw Kombucha at Costco? Review for Costco GTS Organic & Raw Gingerade Kombucha.The drink dates back thousands of years and across cultures, though its actual country of origin is unclear. Please note that this review was not paid for or sponsored by any third party. I purchased this product with my own money and the opinions in this review are strictly my own. I am not affiliated with Costco or any of its suppliers. Hi, It’s Natalie from with another review! Costco West generously lets me post a guest review here, but if you want to read more reviews or see some Costco recipe ideas, please check out my website or follow me on social media! I write these reviews to help my fellow shoppers. There has been a lot of talk about Kombucha recently, particularly the health benefits people gain from drinking it. Kombucha has actually been around for a really long time and is most famous for improving gut health. I had to do some research to find out what Kombucha actually is so I could share that information with you.Ĭostco’s GTS Organic & Raw Kombucha is basically fermented black and green tea as well as enzymes, so like other fermented food it is full of healthy probiotics. It also contains polyphenols, active enzymes and amino acids (things that help healthy digestion and are good for your stomach). A lot of individuals with digestion issues claim this has really helped them feel better and improved their overall wellbeing. I’m a food reviewer, not a scientist, but I wanted to provide some background information! The articles I have read on Kombucha claim it can boost energy, speed healing, reduce glucose levels after a meal, prevent cancer, improve arthritis and inflammation, reduce risk of heart disease and even aid in weight loss. GTS Organic & Raw Gingerade Kombucha bought at Costco is not cheap. I have coworkers that have decided to replace their morning coffee with Kombucha since it has caffeine. If your morning coffee is usually $3 to $5, then I suppose doing that would offset the price, but for me this was definitely a more expensive purchase. I purchased these at Costco for $18.99 Canadian (which is full price). For $18.99 you get 6 bottles that are 480 ml each. I also had to pay a deposit which added to the cost. If I could buy these on sale I think I would feel a lot better about the cost. At farmers’ markets and smaller specialty stores, Kombucha can either be cheaper or less expensive than Costco I’ve seen it at prices ranging from $3 to $7 dollars per bottle. Based on that, Costco is possibly a cheaper option for purchasing Kombucha, especially if it is on sale. In brief there are a ton of claims about the huge health benefits related to drinking Kombucha. Nutritionally each bottle has 60 calories, 0 grams of fat and 4 grams of sugar. The ingredient list is super short: water, Kombucha culture, black tea, green tea and ginger juice.
