FAQ ❓

What is the ginger shot with lemon and turmeric good for?

The ginger shot with lemon and turmeric is known for boosting the immune system, aiding digestion and having an anti-inflammatory effect. This powerful combination brings together ingredients rich in antioxidants, vitamin C and bioactive compounds that help protect the body from colds and flu. It's also a great ally for those looking for more energy in the morning or who want to speed up their metabolism naturally. A tip: taking it on an empty stomach can enhance the effects!

Can I substitute powdered ginger for fresh?

Yes, fresh ginger can be used instead of powdered ginger. It has a more intense and slightly spicy flavor, as well as better preservation of some volatile compounds that can be lost in the powder. To substitute, use about 1 teaspoon of grated ginger for every 1/2 teaspoon of powdered ginger. The important thing is to adjust the amount to your taste. Just be aware: fresh ginger can leave small residues in the drink - straining it can be a good idea.

Who shouldn't drink a shot of turmeric with ginger?

People with gastritis, ulcers, gallstones or taking anticoagulant medication should avoid consuming it without medical advice. Turmeric and ginger can interfere with blood clotting and irritate the stomach in sensitive cases. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should also consult a health professional before including the shot in their routine. If you have any chronic conditions, always check with your doctor or nutritionist.

What is the best time to take the immunity shot?

The best time to consume the ginger shot with lemon and turmeric is first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach. This allows the active compounds to be absorbed more efficiently, as well as helping to "wake up" the metabolism and stimulate digestion for the rest of the day. But there's nothing to stop you taking it at any other time - the important thing is to maintain regularity. Just avoid taking it too late in the day, as ginger can be stimulating for some people.

How do I store the ginger and lemon shot?

You can prepare the shot in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days in a tightly closed glass jar. To maintain freshness and nutrients, prefer dark jars and avoid exposing them to light. If you want it to be more practical, you can also freeze it in ice cube trays and defrost it when you eat it. Just remember: the fresher it is, the more potent the effects of the ingredients.
