Nexba Kombucha
Nexba Kombucha has been selected as an ABA100® Winner for New Product Innovation in The Australian Brand Awards 2019. The Australian Brand Award for New Product Innovation [NEW] recognises innovative consumer products recently launched to market offering a point of difference from their competitors.
Nexba’s mission is to save lives by tackling diabetes, obesity and gut health. Nexba is revolutionising high sugar and/or artificial categories with Naturally Sugar Free alternatives through first-to-market innovation.
Founded by two young Australian, Troy Douglas and Drew Bilbe in 2010, Nexba has become Australia’s leading Naturally Sugar Free beverage brand. Nexba is sold in over 3000 outlets nationally and recently signed a major distribution deal with supermarket giant, Sainsbury’s, the UK’s 3rd largest retailer.
Nexba has developed a world-first, live bacterial ready-to-drink beverage that provides over 500 million viable and living bacteria (CFU) before consumption, with a 12-month shelf-life. Nexba’s Naturally Sugar Free (no sugar, nothing artificial) Kombucha is the first of its kind, using a globally-patented strain of probiotic – Bacillus coagulans.
This probiotic strain actually survives the journey to your gut where it can make a positive health difference unlike other strains of probiotic commonly found on the market. These common strains are destroyed by the stomach’s acidic conditions before reaching the gut and can’t populate the gut effectively. Bacillus coagulans have been scientifically proven to survive the process and populate the colon at a 30% higher rate than other probiotics.
This is the first Kombucha to be able to be stored at room temperature and maintain its probiotic level. Nexba brews its Kombucha for 40 days to ensure that all the sugar has been consumed during fermentation. The average brewing time is 7-30 days.The by-product of this process is the production of a range of beneficial organic acids, vitamins as well as probiotic microorganisms which all play a part in maintaining gut health.
The Nexba Kombucha range is available in Elderflower & Lemon, Cinnamon & Lime and Mixed Berry flavours. The taste formula was created using the same award-winning proprietary Naturally Sugar Free blend.
