Beet Kvass Benefits

One of the primary benefits of beet kvass is that it is a great probiotic drink that helps to support the liver which is the primary organ responsible for detoxifying substances from our body and environment. The liver dumps its detoxified toxins into the bile which then flows into the small intestine and out of the body through the bowels. This beet kvass is excellent for supporting a sluggish gallbladder and improving bile flow so that those toxins from the liver can actually be escorted out of the body via the bile making this beet kvass recipe a great liver detox drink!
