Raw Turmeric Vitamin C & D3 Shot Box

Otherwise known as ascorbic acid, Vitamin C serves multiple purposes. Most notably it works to protect cells against ‘free radicals’. Vitamin C also helps to maintain healthy skin, bones and cartilage. Simply put, it plays a pivotal role in keeping our bodies functioning properly.

There’s a lot of conflicting information about the recommended daily dosage of Vitamin C. According to the NHS, adults aged between 19 and 64 need to consume a minimum of 40mg of Vitamin C a day. However, this is the lowest requirement. There are no set guidelines on the upper limit of Vitamin C usage, but intravenous doses (more than 90% absorption) of up to 4,000mg per day have been used to treat numerous ailments with great effect.

You can be forgiven for thinking of oranges as soon as Vitamin C is mentioned, but there are a lot of other virus-fighting foods that carry high vitamin C content too. This includes: Tomatoes, Strawberries, Kiwi fruit, Red peppers There’s also a number of Vitamin C-rich foods that may surprise you, most notably: Potatoes, Broccoli, Brussels sprouts , Cabbage. The Turmeric Co.’s Vitamin drink is designed to fit seamlessly into your healthy, balanced diet and is perfect for those who lack the time to prepare and cook time-consuming meals each day.

Vitamin D3 helps your body to absorb calcium. It can also benefit the immune system, warding off infections and illnesses. Various studies have found a link between Vitamin D and improved mood, and while far more research is needed.

This is a question that is commonly asked. It’s important to remember that Vitamin D is a family of nutrients, consisting of Vitamins D2 (ergocalciferol) and D3 (cholecalciferol). Both components of Vitamin D work in much the same way but have different molecular structures.

Similar to Vitamin C, there’s a lot of debate about the recommended daily dosage of Vitamin D3. The National Institute for Health & Care Excellence (NICE) suggests a guideline daily dosage of 400 IU (10 micrograms) for adults. However, according to the BMJ, hundreds of doctors and scientists have recommended much higher dosages of Vitamin D3 (up to 4,000 IU) to combat viruses.

While Vitamin D is widely known as the “sunshine Vitamin” because it is formed in the skin having been derived from sunlight, Vitamin D3 can be specifically taken from a range of foods – most commonly those from animal sources. Rich sources of Vitamin D3 include: Oily fish, Eggs, Cod liver oil , Dairy items such as butter

Although dried turmeric might make a great addition to a curry or tea, its nutritional content has been found to be far inferior to that of the fresh root. This is down to the increased levels of the active ingredient ‘curcumin’ found in the root. In order to get the same benefit you would from one of our shots, you would have to eat far more of the powder than would be realistic as part of a balanced diet.

Although we have other shots that combine some highly nutritious ingredients you won’t find in this one, the ingredients in our original shot are in their own right a fabulous addition to your daily diet.

All of our ingredients begin life as whole fruits or vegetables. We don’t use any juices, syrups or artificial flavourings in our drinks.

Our unique extraction process is designed to ensure that the end product remains in as pure and natural form as is possible. Simply put, our shots are sealed and placed into a tank of water where they undergo a treatment of very high isostatic pressure. This allows us to keep the product fresh whilst retaining as high a nutritional value as possible.

Our process requires the bottles to be sealed before they are treated. For this reason, plastic is the only material that can withstand the pressure of the process. Glass for example will shatter under the pressure. Although we have a recycling programme in place and do everything we can to minimise waste as a business, we plan to switch to a viable alternative immediately once it becomes available. We are always looking to be kinder to the planet, so please do get in touch if you have any further information on potential alternatives.

Our shots are treated with a high pressure cold press. Although this gives our drinks a slightly longer shelf life without compromising the nutritional benefit of the ingredients, they should still be treated as a fresh product. Our shots should be refrigerated immediately on arrival to ensure they stay fresh.

We never add any artificial preservatives, sugars or sweeteners. You’re in good hands!
