Bubbles With Benefits: Obi Packs Powerful Probiotics into a Delicious New Low-Calorie Organic Soda
Fermented, fizzy, flavorful and fun - 12-oz. bottle of super soda delivers 20 different strains of water kefir probiotics with just 10-20 calories
SANTA CRUZ, Calif., Sept. 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- "People love the taste of soda, but what if drinking something sweet and fizzy could also mean changing your health for the better?" That's the question Obi Probiotic Soda™ Founder Ben Goodwin asked himself seven years ago when he set out on his mission to make healthy choices affordable and fun.

"As a young teen, I was becoming overweight and unhealthy," said Goodwin. "I made a conscious effort to move from eating a diet heavy in processed foods and experienced a profound shift in my health, wellbeing and personal awareness."
Obi is made from live, probiotic water kefir, organic juices and organic stevia. Each 12-oz. bottle contains billions of beneficial probiotics and less than 20 calories with two to five grams of natural sugar, but tastes just like a delicious soda. Obi comes in four fun flavors: Organic Root Beer; Tart Cherry Vanilla Bean; Valencia Orange & Grapefruit; and Meyer Lemon & Lime. The product is certified USDA organic, certified non-GMO, gluten-free, vegan and paleo, and contains 20 to 40 percent of the recommended daily allowance for Vitamin C.
"I've met thousands of people sampling Obi, and almost everyone -- from millenials to moms -- wants to make healthier choices, but they don't want to compromise on taste," said Goodwin. "We spent five years developing a revolutionary product that is good for you and tastes delicious. Staying healthy should be as enjoyable for people as consuming sugary, processed foods and drinks."
Probiotics are amazing microorganisms that naturally exist in the body and perform critical functions to keep us alive and healthy. Probiotics have been clinically indicated as helping to support digestive function, the immune system and many other aspects of health.
Obi is packed full of powerful probiotics: a water kefir ferment with 20 different strains of probiotic cultures. This unique blend delivers the added benefits of a "symbiotic ferment" – cultures that work extra hard as a united group to produce beneficial compounds like organic acids, vitamins and enzymes that can help to support digestive and immune health.
Obi is available in the refrigerated cold case at Ralphs throughout Southern California, Fred Meyer in the Pacific Northwest and independent grocery and health foods stores in the Northeast, with more stores being added every month. The price per bottle is about $2-$3.
