As the New Year begins, many peopler are seeking simple and cost-effective ways to boost their health without resorting to extreme fitness regimes or pricey wellness fads. One trend quietly gaining traction is ginger shots for their health benefits and one brand specialising in such products is NutraZen.
The Cleveland Clinic highlights several advantages of consuming ginger shots, which are typically made from ginger root. Registered dietician Candace O’Neill explains on the clinic’s website: “There are certain enzymes in ginger that can help with bloating, help ease constipation and help with nausea. If you’re dealing with IBS symptoms, this may help to reduce some of your symptoms.”
Ginger can also alleviate pain as ‘research shows that gingerol reduces the activity and synthesis of pro-inflammatory compounds, which are associated with pain’, according to O’Neill. Additionally, it can bolster the immune system, lower blood sugar levels and aid weight loss.
This is where NutraZen’s Ginger Shot Powder comes into play, particularly as the ginger shot trend reaches its peak. The Ginger and Turmeric Shot Powder 100 Servings pack is currently available on Amazon for £8.49 (was £12.99) with the code NUTRAZEN15, which equates to roughly 8p per serving, reports Chronicle Live.
This British-made powder is crafted to seamlessly blend into daily routines, whether it’s stirred into a cuppa, mixed with hot water, or added to juice. NutraZen‘s offering eliminates waste and hassle by providing a long-lasting powdered blend made from authentic plant ingredients.
Each pouch combines ginger, turmeric and cayenne pepper without any added sugar or artificial additives. For the best results, customers are advised to mix one third of a teaspoon into their preferred drink, give it a good stir, and then savour the flavour and benefits.
For those seeking alternatives, Holland and Barrett offers the Rochester Ginger Drink for at £5.59, which has received glowing reviews from over 1,000 people. This non-alcoholic ginger drink – infused with raisins, cowslip and elderflower – can be enjoyed neat, heated up, or even chilled and mixed with soda.
Master of Malt also offers Good Shots Ginger and Turmeric Concentrate for £20.33. This concoction is said to ‘support gut health, immunity and inflammation’, as it is made from a blend of organic ginger, turmeric and lemon juice.
It can be diluted with water or used in smoothies and cooking, according to the site. Meanwhile, NutraZen’s Ginger Shot Powder has garnered a rating of 4.2-star rating from more than 500 reviews on Amazon, where it’s been highlighted as an Amazon’s Choice product.
Also, more than 1,000 shoppers have been snapped them up in the past month, with one saying: “Fantastic value for money, mixed with orange juice. This is just like the expensive pre-made shots but much cheaper.”
Another said: “Lovely, I make a shot every day and like [it] so much I bought another sachet.”
However, some NutraZen customers had minor reservations, with one saying: “Great to use in juices, however you need to stir it for quite some time in order for the powder to dissolve. It has a lovely ginger flavour and you can make it stronger or weaker.”
Despite these minor criticisms, the majority of feedback was positive, with one user saying: “Ideal mixed with apple juice and works out far cheaper than the pre-mixed shots from the supermarket and tastes great.”
