Are Turmeric Shots Good For You? 5 Benefits of Taking Turmeric Shots

Turmeric (also known as Curcuma Longa) is naturally found in most parts of Asia¹. This plant (mainly the root) has been harvested and used for a variety of ailments as a result of its many medicinal properties. You can find and access this powerful ingredient in teas, powders, extracts, pastes, and juices pretty much anywhere in the world!

Our turmeric shots are a small but mighty elixir made with organic cold pressed pineapple and lemon juice, turmeric (of course) and a hint of black pepper! Wellness shots are a convenient but effective way to enjoy all the benefits of this superfood without any guesswork or hassle!

Why Are Turmeric Shots Good For You? 5 Science-Backed Turmeric Shot Health Benefits

Turmeric has been a common remedy in the cupboards of many eastern cultures for centuries. Even just a tiny amount used internally and topically has proven to be incredibly effective for a number of injuries and imbalances. Its bright yellow color has also made turmeric a favorable choice when brightening foods like mustard without the use of artificial colors or dyes!

Science-backed reasons why we recommend turmeric as part of your wellness routine:

1. Reduces Inflammation: Before there was over the counter anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), there was turmeric!¹ Probably the most common use for this herb is to relieve pain and inflammation.² Today you often see it paired with black pepper to enhance bioavailability of the active component curcumin, which is the part we need to activate this effect.
2. Supports Digestion: Turmeric has been used as a digestive aid for centuries for its ability to reduce gut inflammation, bloating, gas, gut permeability and create balance between the brain-gut axis (the connection between our central nervous system and intestinal health).^1,3
3. Powerful Antioxidant: These are molecules that work hard to fight invaders in the body responsible for disease and cell damage.⁴ Turmeric is a great source of antioxidants, keeping us well protected as we age!⁵
4. Improved Skin: When used topically or internally, many have experienced positive results in promoting skin health for beauty or repairing a number of inflammatory skin conditions including eczema and psoriasis.⁶
5. Antimicrobial: One more reason why we love this golden spice so much, is it’s also an effective natural remedy for fighting bad bacteria (hello immunity)!⁷
