Morning Shots in the Garden of Dreams: The Powerful Benefits of our Ginger, Turmeric, Spirulina & Amla Shots

Morning Shots: The Powerful Benefits of Our Ginger, Turmeric, Spirulina & Amla Shots

How amazing are ginger and turmeric shots for you?

Ginger, Turmeric, Spirulina and Amla have been used for thousands of years because they are AMAZING for you!

But what is it that makes them so amazing… and what happens when you take a Ginger Tumeric shot each day?

The bio-active compounds Gingerol (in ginger) and Curcumin (in turmeric) are powerful antioxidants.

Antioxidants… So What Do They Do?

Antioxidants fix damage from Free Radicals.

Free Radicals have something missing (an electron), the Free Radicals like all of us, want to be complete, but what Free Radicals do is steal what they have missing (an election) from a healthy cell… they’ll take it from the protein, fat or even directly from the DNA of a cell, leaving the cell damaged. Not good.

Antioxidants on the other hand are living in abundance. Antioxidants are not lacking electrons, in fact they have them to spare… and when they meet a free radical they donate an election to them to make them whole.

Antioxidant: Gingerol and Curcumin are in Abundance in Our Ginger Turmeric Shots

There’s no escaping them…

Our bodies create Free Radicals as part of daily living (biological reactions). Free Radicals are also found in: processed foods, air pollution, pesticides and herbicides, even excessive sun exposure generates Free Radicals… as well as lack of sleep, alcohol and intense or prolonged exercise.

This is why consuming antioxidant-rich foods like ginger and turmeric is so beneficial for our well-being.

In fact your body’s immune cells even create Free Radicals to combat pathogens (bacteria, fungi, disease-causing microorganisms) by stealing the pathogens electrons, which damages and neutralizes them.

This process is actually an important part of the immune response, but it contributes to inflammation at the site of the infection. Antioxidants then help to neutralize the excess Free Radicals produced by the immune cells, resolving the inflammation once the threat is dealt with.

Some Antioxidants Like Vitamin C* are truly like MAGIC

*found in all the shots (as lemon) and in super abundance in the Spirulina/Amla Shot

After donating an electron Vitamin C becomes DHA (Dehydroascorbic Acid)… then DHA can be converted back to Vitamin C by certain enzymes inside your body. This regeneration process back to Vitamin C allows it to then go back out and continue neutralizing Free Radicals… what a super power!

Alternatively, once Vitamin C has donated an electron to a Free Radical and become DHA it sometimes goes on a different mission…

Vitamin C in your brain is crucial for neuronal function and neuro protection, but Vitamin C is too big to pass through the blood-brain barrier. However once it has neutralized a Free Radical and become DHA, it can pass through into the brain… then deep inside your brain (just like magic), it turns back into Vitamin C!

Here at the Garden of Dreams, our Spirulina shots have Amla added… Amla is one of the highest sources of Vitamin C in nature. This magical Vitamin plays another amazing role here… because Iron (found in abundance in Spirulina) needs Vitamin C to be absorbed.

This is why Vitamin C often gets called the Master Antioxidant.
