This is a health boost in a glass! Ginger has potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, helps to boost immune function and combat cellular damage. Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, has potent anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial, detoxifying and gastrointestinal health properties, which have been linked to the prevention of cancer cell growth and management of inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, asthma, eczema and inflammatory bowel disease.
