Black pepper is added to our ginger turmeric energy shot for greater absorption of turmeric. Would you believe the absorption can be increased by up to 2,000% because of the Piperine compound?
Fat is the last ingredient that helps with the absorption of curcumin. I have chosen Extra Virgin olive oil as it is our favorite fat use, but you can also select butter, coconut oil, or any fat you prefer.
Turmeric Ginger shots benefits.
A morning drink will replace the vitamin C supplements many people take. Naturally, adding vitamins to your body early in the morning enhances your nutrients and gives you a boost without having to take caffeinated drinks.
Benefits of ginger
Ginger, on its own, contains a natural anti-inflammatory compounds, responsible for alleviating joint and muscle pain. At the same time, ginger calms the tummy and helps with digestion, migraines, and morning or motion sicknesses.
Similar to turmeric, ginger is known to have anti-inflammatory, anti viral and anti-oxidant properties. It is also known to improve brain function, heart health, and lower blood sugar.
Benefits of Turmeric
Turmeric, very similar to ginger, has powerful anti-inflammatory benefits and acts as a fantastic antioxidant. Turmeric is one of the most popular herb used in Indian cooking and it has many medicinal values.
Benefits of Lemon
Lemons are a good source of vitamin C, citric acid, and iron, all of which help build immunity and support overall health and wellness.
Benefits of Black Pepper
Black pepper helps to increase the compounds in the curcumin, which is a part of turmeric roots, that means that without black pepper, you may miss out on some of the healthy properties of turmeric. So don’t skip the pepper!
Black pepper helps to stimulate hydrochloric acid in your stomach so you can better digest and absorb the foods you eat. It has carminative properties too, which help to reduce discomfort and gas buildup in your intestines.
This is not a cocktail you want to have during your evening out. But supposed to boost immune system, something pretty strong. And if you can not drink it for some strange reason, add a bit of honey or agave nectar and mix. You can also blend it into a smoothie with nut milk. If you like to consume it as a juice, add coconut water, honey and mix with the shot.
These immune-boosting concentrated shots can then be poured into little individual portion glass vials and stored in the fridge. The homemade ginger shot should last 4-5 days as long as it is properly stored in the fridge.
