The Benefits and Best Times to Take Elixir Wellness Shots

Immunity Shot

Our Immunity Shot is a potent blend of red Hawaiian turmeric (from our organic family farm in Kauai), ginger, oranges, and black pepper. This combination works synergistically to supercharge your immune defenses.

Benefits:

• Red Hawaiian turmeric contains high levels of curcumin, a compound with powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that modulate immune response ( Source )
• Ginger has antimicrobial effects and has been shown to enhance immune cell activity
• Oranges provide a boost of immune-supporting vitamin C
• Black pepper enhances the absorption and bioavailability of turmeric's active compounds

Best Time to Take: First thing in the morning on an empty stomach to prime your immune system for the day ahead. The ingredients will have time to absorb and support your natural defenses to help ward off any germs or pathogens you may encounter.

Zenergy Shot

Our Zenergy Shot features ceremonial grade Japanese matcha, oranges, peppermint, and apple cider vinegar. This energizing elixir provides a clean, focused boost without the jitters or crash of coffee.

Benefits:

• Matcha contains L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes calm alertness and supports healthy stress response ( Source )
• Peppermint enhances mental clarity and can ease digestive discomfort
• Apple cider vinegar helps balance blood sugar for sustained energy
• Oranges add a dose of antioxidant vitamin C to fight fatigue

Best Time to Take: When you're hitting a midday slump and need a boost, but want to avoid the afternoon caffeine crash. The Zenergy Shot can perk you up and sharpen focus to power through your to-do list. Avoid taking too late in the day, as matcha does contain some caffeine.

Defense Shot

Our Defense Shot packs the one-two punch of ginger and lemon to bolster your body's natural protective mechanisms. This zesty combo supports a robust immune response, healthy digestion, and aids detoxification.

Benefits:

• Ginger contains gingerols, compounds that have potent antiviral and antibacterial properties
• Ginger also has warming properties that can help break a fever and ease congestion
• Lemon provides immune-boosting vitamin C and stimulates digestive function
• The combination of ginger and lemon supports the body's natural cleansing processes

Best Time to Take: At the first sign of feeling rundown or when you feel like you need a little extra support. Taking the Defense Shot in the morning can also help kickstart digestion and elimination to remove any accumulated toxins.

Mayan Shot

Inspired by ancient wisdom, our Mayan Shot combines cacao, oranges, and cayenne pepper for a revitalizing and mood-boosting elixir. The Mayan Shot can help lift brain fog and energize your mind and body.

Benefits:

• Cacao is rich in flavanols, antioxidants that support healthy brain function and mood ( Source )
• Oranges contain vitamin C, which is required for the synthesis of neurotransmitters like serotonin
• Cayenne pepper boosts circulation, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to the brain
• The combination of ingredients supports mental energy, focus, and a positive outlook

Best Time to Take: When you're feeling mentally fatigued or in a funk and need a natural pick-me-up. The Mayan Shot is great as an afternoon energy booster or pre-workout to get you in the zone mentally. Just be mindful of the cayenne if you're sensitive to spice.

Endurance Shot

Our Endurance Shot features a blend of beets, carrots, celery, and lemons to help boost stamina and support physical performance. Whether you're an athlete or just looking to power through a busy day, this shot can help you go the distance.

Benefits:

• Beets are rich in nitrates, which the body converts to nitric oxide. Nitric oxide dilates blood vessels, improving blood flow and oxygen delivery to muscles. ( Source )
• Carrots contain antioxidants like beta-carotene that fight oxidative damage from exercise
• Celery provides electrolytes like potassium to support hydration and muscle function
• Lemons add vitamin C to protect cells from free radical damage

Best Time to Take: 30-60 minutes before a workout or physically demanding activity. The nitric oxide boost from the beets peaks about 2-3 hours after consumption, so taking the Endurance Shot a bit before exercise ensures you'll have optimal levels when you need it most.

Vitality Shot

Our Vitality Shot features an antioxidant-packed blend of red Hawaiian turmeric, ginger, pineapple, black pepper, and lemon. This vibrant elixir promotes overall vitality by supporting digestion, reducing inflammation, and aiding detoxification.

Benefits:

• Red Hawaiian turmeric and ginger provide potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds
• Bromelain, an enzyme in pineapple, supports protein digestion and has anti-inflammatory effects
• Black pepper enhances the absorption of turmeric's active compounds
• Lemon promotes an alkaline body pH and supports the body's natural detoxification processes

Best Time to Take: First thing in the morning or between meals to support overall wellness. The Vitality Shot's ingredients work synergistically to reduce inflammation, soothe the digestive tract, and promote efficient detoxification, helping you feel your best from the inside out.

Making the Most of Your Wellness Shots

While each Elixir wellness shot has specific benefits and ideal usage times, there are some general tips to keep in mind to maximize their impact:

• Stay consistent: The ingredients in these shots work best with regular use over time. Make them part of your daily routine for cumulative benefits.
• Listen to your body: Pay attention to how you feel after taking different shots at different times. Your body's feedback can help you optimize your timing.
• Eat a balanced diet: Wellness shots are a great complement to a nutrient-dense diet, not a replacement. Focus on colorful whole foods to supply your body the full spectrum of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
• Stay hydrated: Shots like the Defense, Endurance, and Vitality can support detoxification, but adequate hydration is key for flushing toxins. Aim for at least half your body weight in ounces of water daily.
• Check for interactions: If you have any medical conditions or take medications, check with your healthcare provider to ensure the ingredients in these shots are safe for you. Some ingredients like ginger and turmeric may interact with blood thinners.

Our line of premium wellness shots offers targeted support for your immunity, energy, digestion, focus, stamina, and overall vitality. By understanding the unique benefits of each shot and timing them strategically, you can harness their power to help you feel your best each day. Here's to your health!
