A budget-friendly ginger shot powder, costing just 8p per serving, is gaining popularity as a simple way to boost immunity and curb sugar cravings. NutraZen's Ginger Shot Powder, available on Amazon, is currently priced at £7.99 for 100 servings, reduced from £12.99.
Registered dietitian Candace O'Neill from the Cleveland Clinic explains that ginger contains enzymes which can help with bloating, constipation, and nausea. She also notes that gingerol, a compound in ginger, reduces pro-inflammatory compounds associated with pain, potentially strengthening the immune system and aiding weight management.
The UK-produced powder combines ginger, turmeric, and cayenne pepper with no added sugar or artificial additives. It can be stirred into coffee, hot water, or juice, offering a convenient alternative to pre-made shots. Users are advised to mix one-third of a teaspoon into their chosen beverage.
Customer reviews on Amazon are largely positive, with a rating of 4.2 out of five stars from over 500 reviews. One buyer commented: “Fantastic value for money, mixed with orange juice. This is just like the expensive pre-made shots but much cheaper!” Another added: “I love this product! I have it every morning and I miss it if I don't.”
For those seeking alternatives, Holland and Barrett offers the Rochester Ginger Drink at £5.59 for 725ml, while Master of Malt sells Good Shots Ginger and Turmeric Concentrate for £20.33 per 50cl. However, NutraZen's powder remains a cost-effective option, with over 1,000 packs sold in the past month.
