Is Sodaly Safe To Drink When Pregnant?

Since day dot, we've been asked if kombucha is safe to drink when pregnant or breastfeeding (hint: it is - well Remedy is, anyway!). But since new(-ish) kid on the block, Sodaly, started to gain some true blue fans, this question has been popping up all over the place!

Let's give our Sodaly lovers the truth about prebiotic sodas and pregnancy. But first, we need to get a decent idea of what a prebiotic soda actually is!

What is a prebiotic soda?

Prebiotic sodas are carbonated drinks with prebiotic-like effects.

Which will mean diddly squat to you if you don't know what prebiotics are! So, what in-all-that-is-good-and-Remedy are they?

As you probably know, your gut contains a LOT of bacteria. Prebiotics are the food source for these bacteria to help them do their jobs better. As we all know, no one’s productive when they’re hungry, including your gut bacteria!

Keeping your gut microorganisms happy with prebiotics is a surefire way to keep them working hard for your overall health.

You can also get prebiotic-like effects from:

• Whole grains
• Leafy greens
• Chickpeas
• Lentils
• Mushrooms
• Bananas 

And a whole lot more! 

What makes Sodaly a prebiotic soda?

A shot of apple cider vinegar a day keeps the doctor away, right? We've been hearing about the benefits of ACV for yonks, but taking a shot of literal vinegar is not quite what our tastebuds find an enjoyable way to start their days!

ACV is a type of vinegar made from fermented apple juice. The process of making ACV includes crushing apples and squeezing out the juice. Bacteria and yeast are added to the liquid to start the fermentation process, which converts the sugars in the juice into alcohol. In the second stage, the alcohol is converted into vinegar by acetic acid-forming bacteria. The acetic acid gives the vinegar its strong, sour aroma and flavour! 

People have been banging on about this sour vinegar for it's prebiotic-like effects that can help promote a healthy gut microbiotia. A balanced gut microbiota can improve digestion and overall health, which is a big reason people start looking for prebiotic food and drink!

But what does ACV have to do with Sodaly, you ask? Simple! 

Sodaly starts with a base of ACV. That’s what makes it a prebiotic soda!

Is Sodaly safe to drink while pregnant?
