The Science.

The Tibico process is heavily focused on the microbiology and biochemistry of small batch craft fermentation. The bacteria and beneficial yeasts in our secondary fermentation process feed on the fruit sugars; multiplying by the billions and producing organic compounds that are absolutely essential to the body's metabolism. 

Due to the all-natural approach, the microbial spectrum is more diverse and robust than commercial monoculture probiotic drinks. The use of mineral-rich water, fruit, and no preservatives or sweeteners, encourages a broader expression of native microbes, and that means:

• Higher strain diversity → better gut resilience

• Wider postbiotic range (organic acids, enzymes, amino acids and antimicrobial peptides)

• Synergistic bioavailability of nutrients

Live Probiotics -– Gut Health Royalty

30 -50 billion colony forming units (live bacteria) per bottle (100 million / ml or 2 raindrops).

These are essential for the digestion of fibre... that's all they will live on and without fibre our health will always be compromised

• Improved digestion

• supporting a strong immune system

• Reduced gut inflammation

• Bloating

• Mental health

• Competitive exclusion of pathogens (i.e. they bully the bad guys out)

Beneficial bacteria

Yeasts that can be found in Tibico Water Kefir

• Saccharomyces cerevisiae

• Saccharomyces florentinus

• Zygotorulaspora florentina

• Candida stellata

• Kluyveromyces marxianus

• Torulaspora delbrueckii

These yeasts ferment sugars into ethanol and carbon dioxide (think mild fizz, not drunkenness) and can produce bioactive compounds that support the bacteria and add subtle flavor notes.

New to Tibico? Here’s What You Need to Know

We don’t know your individual medical condition, gut health, or diet—so we can’t give personalised medical advice. What we can do is share what we’ve learned from tens of thousands of customers who drink Tibico every day.

Start Slow – Let Your Gut Say Hello

If you're new to fermented drinks, it's best to start with a small amount—around 100ml per day.

Choose a time when your stomach is at its calmest and least acidic:

• First thing in the morning before breakfast, or

• Before bedtime on an empty stomach

This timing allows the living probiotics in Tibico to mostly survive stomach acid and reach your gut, where the real magic happens.

What Happens Next?

Everyone’s Gut Reacts Differently. Some people feel the benefits almost immediately—better digestion, reduced bloating, and a gentle lift in mood and energy.

But if your gut has been under siege from poor diet, antibiotics, stress, or illness, the good bacteria in Tibico may go into battle against harmful microbes that have taken up residence. This internal turf war can cause temporary symptoms, such as:

• Mild bloating

• Gas

• Loose stools or mild diarrhea

• Cramping or gurgling sounds

Don’t panic. This isn’t a bad reaction—it’s actually a positive sign that your gut is rebalancing. Think of it like a spring clean for your microbiome.

If You Feel Uncomfortable, Pause—Then Restart

If symptoms feel too uncomfortable, stop drinking Tibico for 2–3 days. Let things settle, and then reintroduce slowly again—100ml per day or even less to begin with.

This easing-in phase is short-lived for most people—a few days at most. Once your gut gets used to the new flora, things tend to settle beautifully.

What’s Not Causing the Symptoms?

Let’s be clear: Tibico contains no additives, preservatives, stabilisers, or chemicals. It’s simply a live, wild fermentation of whole fruit, water, and natural sugars—crafted by hand.

So if you’re experiencing discomfort, it’s not a reaction to something artificial. It’s your body adjusting to a very real and very natural shift in your gut ecology.

Once You’re Acclimatised, It’s Yours to Enjoy Freely

Once your gut is used to Tibico (for many people, this happens within a few days), you can enjoy it however suits your lifestyle:

• A small glass with meals to aid digestion

• A cold, refreshing pick-me-up mid-afternoon

• A hydrating boost after exercise

• Even a full glass (or two) whenever you fancy

There are no hard rules once your gut flora is happy. Tibico can become part of your daily rhythm—like brushing your teeth, but tastier.

Final Tip: Listen to Your Gut

Everyone’s microbiome is as unique as their fingerprint. Go at your own pace, and listen to what your body tells you. If something doesn’t feel right, take a short pause. If it feels great—carry on.
