Why Ginger Shots?

Ginger shots have gained popularity in recent years for their incredible immune-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties. But what exactly makes them so powerful?

Key Ingredients & Their Benefits:

• Ginger
  The star of the show. Ginger is well-known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. It’s been shown to help reduce oxidative stress, fight infections, ease digestive discomfort, and even help with nausea.

• Lemon Juice
  A natural source of vitamin C, lemons support a healthy immune system, aid in detoxification, and promote hydration. They also give the shot a refreshing citrusy punch.

• Apple Cider Vinegar
  Raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar (with the "mother") is loaded with probiotics and enzymes. It helps regulate blood sugar, improve digestion, and offers mild antibacterial benefits.

• Water
  Helps mellow out the intensity and keeps everything smooth and easy to drink.

Save Money by Making It Yourself

Store-bought wellness shots can cost $3 to $5 each. That adds up quickly if you're taking one daily! This homemade version gives you 14 shots for a fraction of the cost—and with ingredients you can pronounce and trust.

Plus, when you make them at home, you’re in control. No preservatives, no added sugar, no mystery ingredients.

Customize Your Shot

These ginger shots are incredibly versatile. Try adding:

• Turmeric – for added anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. Just a pinch of ground turmeric or a small piece of fresh turmeric root goes a long way.

• Cayenne Pepper – for a fiery kick and a boost to circulation and metabolism.

• Black Pepper – especially if you’re using turmeric; it enhances absorption of curcumin, turmeric’s active compound.
