Reviews
Marina S., 30 years
I suffer from overweight from childhood. At school they constantly mocked me. So the main objective I had – to lose weight by any means. I exercised in the gym, I went for a run, made several diets. But the results were insignificant. A nutritionist advised me to try to lose weight with beet kvas. I never thought it was a tasty drink. I started drinking it regularly. After a year, my body felt relief. So far I have not reached my optimal size, but the result has inspired me to continue to lose weight.

My health suddenly collapsed: I had a hypertensive crisis. I was in the hospital, I started taking pills, after which my digestive system began to work badly. My grandmother advised me to drink beet kvas, which she used to treat hypertension. He did without yeast. At first I tried a bit. But then I got used to and started drinking it on an empty stomach for a month. When I went to the blood vessels check me, the doctors were surprised at how clean they were. Hypertension is no longer worried.

From my childhood I love the KVAS, with which I prepare a delicious Okroshka. I recently prepared it with beet. My doctor advised me to use the red fruit to increase blood hemoglobin. Now I am doing body cleaning with beet kvas. I drink it for 1-2 weeks three times a day, so I feel very good. And the OCROCHKA of such Kvss is wonderful, but it is not necessary to leave salt.
