Pineapple – Just like the humble fruit itself Pineapple skin is filled with Vitamin C as well!

Turmeric and Black Pepper – did you know the power couple of Turmeric and Black pepper are when combined? They are a match made in heaven. These two ingredients hold incredible healing properties and have been associated for many years to support our health and immunity, especially in Ayurveda. Cucurmin in the turmeric is anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antifungal and has been shown to manage a variety of health conditions such as indigestion, IBS and arthritis.
Now, like turmeric, black pepper also contains anti-inflammatory properties, increases nutrient absorption and clears congestion.
However, having turmeric by itself, the active compound ‘curcumin; is not well absorbed in the body, but once it is combined with the bioactive compound in the black pepper – piperine. The bioavailability of the curcumin is increased by up to 2,000 percent allowing your body to reap the medicinal properties
Ginger – a widely used spice and natural medicine. It is loaded with antioxidants and has active compounds in the ginger known as gingerols which help keep your oral health clean and ward off bacteria. It has also been proven to help support digestion and increase motility. There are ample benefits of ginger to support one’s health.
Cinnamon – is incredibly high in antioxidants and aids in blood sugar regulation. It is also anti-microbial and helps the body fight fight bacterial, fungal and viral infections
