The science behind the gut-loving power of fermentation.

Chat bubble: Wait – does fermentation really make food better for you?

Chat bubble: Sure! It pre-digests food and unlocks nutrients.

It’s not magic. It’s microbiology. During fermentation, beneficial microbes break down sugars and starches into simpler, more bioavailable compounds — like organic acids, vitamins, and antioxidants. What you get? Easier digestion, better absorption, and serious gut love.

Boosts bioavailability

Preserves nutrients naturally

Produces beneficial lactic acid

Lower sugars

Supports gut barrier function

Improves mineral absorption

Chat bubble: What even is a prebiotic?

Chat bubble: It’s fibre that feeds your gut bacteria - and our fizz has it.

Prebiotics are fibres your body can’t digest — but your gut bacteria can. Our lemonades retain the fibre from fermented fruit, complemented by inulin—a naturally occurring plant fibre that nourishes your microbiome. The result? A natural, effective boost to your gut balance.
Fermentation feeds the beneficial bacteria in your gut, supports healthy regularity, and creates compounds that survive digestion to reach your colon — where they really make a difference. That’s how our lemonades stay functional, even after pasteurisation.

Chat bubble: Are these drinks actually alive?

Chat bubble: Only our shots contain live cultures – and you’ll feel it.

Our Digest Shots are unpasteurised — meaning they’re packed with live cultures created during natural vegetable fermentation. These microbes help support microbial diversity, immune function, and nutrient uptake, all in a small, fiery dose. No additives, no shortcuts — just gut support that’s alive and kicking. And yes, many feel the difference the very same day.

Chat bubble: Wait, if it's pasteurised... is it still good for me?

Chat bubble: Absolutely. Fibre and nutrients stay – so does the flavour.

We gently pasteurise our lemonades to ensure safety and shelf stability, preserving the prebiotic function. You still get the prebiotic fibre, fermentation-created lactic acid, and naturally preserved nutrients that support digestion. It’s a soft drink with real gut benefits. No added junk. No fake claims. Just fermented fruit doing what it does best.

Chat bubble: How do I know if it’s working?

Chat bubble: Your gut will tell you.

Fermented drinks and live cultures may help ease digestion, reduce bloating, and support smoother, more regular bowel movements. Many people report feeling lighter, more energised, and more balanced — sometimes after just a few days. One shot or sip a day really can spark a gut-friendly shift.
