Ginger shot immunity booster health benefits

With this apple, lime, and ginger shot recipe, you are boosting your immunity to strengthen your body's natural defenses.

Why you should be taking ginger shots regularly?

Once you have downed a ginger shot your body feels more alive and energized. We put our bodies through so much every day, itโ€™s important to give back and replenish.

Give yourself a little TLC with regular ginger shots.

Fresh ginger not only boosts your immune system but also contains anti-bacterial effects and is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

Ginger shots are also beneficial if you caught a cold. Double the dose during this time.

    Revitalising! I usually opt for lemons when juicing with ginger but after having tried your variation I can say it is definitely a tasty alternative that I will continue.

      Hi Emily. Delighted you enjoyed the recipe. Yes indeed it works equally as well with lemons. Here in Thailand organic limes are in abundance. Both lemons and limes contain a great amount of vitamin C and anti-oxidants. Good health wishes ๐Ÿ™‚
