Elderberry & Date LiveBrine

LiveBrine is the pickle juice from our fermented pickle process. Because more lactobacillus bacteria live in the brine than on the pickles and vegetables themselves, drinking brine is the most concentrated way to consume the live cultures from ferments.

We call LiveBrine a ‘naturally fermented daily gut health elixir.’  LiveBrine is not a beverage like kombucha, which you might drink an entire bottle of at lunch.  Rather, LiveBrine is best consumed in small, concentrated amounts like a shot glass size serving. The easiest way to start with LiveBrine is a morning shot, we call it the Rise & Brine!

Customers tell us they replenish with LiveBrine after a run or hot yoga class, or after working in the yard. They’ll use LiveBrine as a marinade, particularly for chicken. Some customers drink LiveBrine before a meal because its enzymes help them with digestion. Pickle juice is useful when you drink alcohol: take a shot in between drinks (along with a glass of water) to avoid a hangover.

Fermented pickle juice contains 14 billion colony forming units (CFUs) of lactic acid bacteria per serving. A serving is a 1.5 ounce shot glass size serving.  The most abundant types of probiotic bacteria found in fermented pickle juice are Lactobacillus Plantarum, Lactobacillus Pentosus and Leuconostoc Mesenteroids.

Real, salt-water brine from fermentation contains naturally occurring probiotics that are optimal for gut health. LiveBrine also contains electrolytes from its high mineral sea salt which are restorative. Each flavor of LiveBrine contains a unique superfood, with distinct health benefits.
