Zero Drama | Ashwagandha Kombucha 500ml

Coming soon. Limited first run. Pre-order now, ships mid-October.

Zero Drama is the second bottle in the Gut Feeling range, my own house kombucha, made with Ashwagandha instead of the usual fruit and ginger you'll find everywhere else in the shop. If Mane Event is for your head, this one's for the rest of you. Small batch, live, unfiltered, and built for the days that need taking down a notch.

I'm not going to stand here and tell you one bottle of kombucha is going to sort your stress out. It won't. But it's a proper, grown-up drink for the evening that isn't a beer, and that's a genuinely useful thing to have in the fridge.

What's actually in it

Filtered water, cane sugar, tea mix, kombucha cultures, Ashwagandha extract (1%). 5ml of 10:1 extract per bottle, a raw material equivalent of roughly 5,000mg (5 grams) per bottle. Nothing else in there.

One thing worth knowing: if you're on thyroid medication, check with your doctor before making this a regular habit. Ashwagandha can interact with thyroid function, and that's not something to guess your way through.

500ml, not 330ml, on purpose

Same deal as the rest of the range. If you're drinking it for gut health, the usual guidance is around 150ml a day, so one bottle sees you through about three days. It also means it works brilliantly poured into a proper glass as your evening wind-down drink instead of a bottle of wine, same ritual, none of the 2am regret.

The proper stuff

Unpasteurised kombucha, fermented in small batches with Ashwagandha. Cloudy, live and short dated. The murky bits mean you no harm, that's fermentation, not a fault. Serve ice cold. A healthy gut starts with feeding it the right things first. Live. Unfiltered. Banging.
