Antacids only mask symptoms. Your body is asking for a deeper fix.
“Messing with your normal microbes using drugs has its downsides — as we and others showed with PPIs.” — Prof. Tim Spector, epidemiologist and gut microbiome researcher
When unfriendly microbes crowd out beneficial bacteria, they ferment food into irritating gases and lower your stomach’s pH beyond healthy levels. This excess acidity and inflammation loosen the lower oesophageal sphincter (LES) - the muscular gate between stomach and throat - so it gapes open and lets acid splash upward. Re-planting the gut with protective probiotics restores a balanced pH, the LES regains tone, and the fiery reflux finally calms.

Anaerobic Fermentation
100% anaerobic, small‑batch process spawns 30–50 billion CFU per bottle.

Zero Nasty Stuff
Nothing is produced in a lab - no flavourings, no sweeteners, no emulsifiers etc - our water kefirs are 100% all-natural and unadulterated

Gut-Surviving Strains - Alive
Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium + 8 other anaerobes proven to thrive in the human gut

Bio-Available Nutrients
Bio-available nutrients that don't immediately pass through you like multivitamin tablets - including Vitamins, Minerals, Polyphenols, Digestive Enzymes & Amino Acids

Whole-Fruit
We ferment local Herefordshire fruits & vegetables (where possible) - never juices, sweeteners or flavourings.

Raw & Unpasteurised
We don't pasteurise to improve shelf-life - instead we produce a 100% raw and alive ferment. Just as nature intended

Why It Helps Reflux Sufferers
✓ Increases Lactobacillus acidophilus that naturally dampens gastric acid over‑production
✓ Produces soothing lactic & folic acids that act as gentle, natural antacids
✓ Improves digestion speed, reducing pressure on the lower oesophageal sphincter
✓ Low‑sugar, caffeine‑free and lightly sparkling—easy on sensitive stomachs
Meet The Flavours
All our water kefirs are made with locally sourced (where possible) whole fruits fermented from natural raw ingredients in a unique 10 day slow ferment. They are free of sugar, sweeteners, flavourings, infusions and additives... and are packed with billions of live cultures, antioxidants, digestive enzymes, pre-digested nutrients, amino acids, vitamins and minerals that our bodies love!
Water Kefirs
Our Recent Feature on the BBC...
In a world where governments and corporations have stopped listening to the everyday person - where processed food giants sell shelf life instead of real life - we choose to listen.
At Tibico, we believe your gut deserves a voice. That your microbiome matters. That health shouldn’t come wrapped in plastic and preservatives.
So, we ferment. We brew. We culture.
All natural, small batch, and with the kind of probiotics your body actually understands.
Because real health doesn’t come from a lab. It comes from nature - and from people who care enough to listen.
