A double blind, placebo controlled study in Japan involving 99 healthy adults looking at the duration of the common cold showed that those taking bioavailable curcumin got better significantly sooner than those taking a placebo.*
Immune Support: The combination of lemon, turmeric, ginger, and Daily Defence create a potent mixture to help fortify your immune system.
Digestive Aid: Ginger, on the other hand, is renowned for its ability to combat nausea, reduce muscle pain, and fight chronic indigestion.
