Melanie’s Tip

Try having this shot with breakfast, particularly if your meal contains some healthy fats (such as eggs, nuts, seeds, avocado, or yoghurt) for better absorption.

Remember, the biggest differences for improved immunity come from the foundations of: nutrition, getting enough sleep, staying active, and managing stress.

Why these ingredients?

• Oranges & lemons: Rich in vitamin C, which supports the normal function of the immune system.
• Ginger: Contains natural compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
• Turmeric: Contains curcumin, a compound with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
