Ginger can help you lose weight
Of course, ginger can't work miracles when it comes to losing weight. However, if you incorporate ginger into your daily diet, the root can be very supportive of your weight loss goals. How? Ginger curbs the appetite before meals and can therefore also increase the feeling of satiety. If you drink ginger water before each meal, you are likely to eat less and consume fewer calories throughout the day. The tuber itself contains hardly any calories and you can also avoid the snack craving. Would you like to learn more about losing weight? have a look here.
Ginger can relieve menstrual pain
Ginger contains gingerols. These are secondary plant substances that have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antibacterial effects. Gingerol is said to have a similar structure to acetylsalicylic acid (an active ingredient in painkillers). Due to its pain-relieving effect, ginger can be super for menstrual cramps. It is also said to inhibit the formation of the tissue hormone prostagladin, which is responsible for the unpleasant pulling in the abdomen, among other things. In addition, ginger has a circulatory-stabilising effect, as well as a warming effect due to its spiciness. Apart from menstrual pain, ginger can also alleviate other pains and nausea.
Ginger for digestive problems
Flatulence or digestive problems? Ginger is a great help here too. It contains active ingredients that can stimulate the digestive juices in the stomach and small intestine, making it easier to digest food. The anti-inflammatory effect also reduces inflammation in the digestive tract and as a result diarrhoea and constipation can be relieved.
Ginger as a precaution
Ginger is good for our immune system because of its antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. Some studies even suggest that the use of ginger can reduce the risk of cancer. The risk of diabetes is also said to be reduced by stabilising the metabolism.
Ginger as an energy kick

The story behind our ginger shots
Ginger shots are a real miracle weapon when it comes to health. But what is the story behind our ginger shots?
The idea behind our ginger shots is actually quite simple: ginger is good for our immune system, has a pain-relieving effect and brings an extra boost of energy - With so many positive factors, it was clear that we needed a ginger shot in our range.
Our promise to you is that our products only contain what really belongs in them. For our organic shots, fresh ginger should be used instead of ginger juice, which most other ginger shots contain. For this, we decided to use organic apple juice and lemon.
In our search for the right raw materials to get the most out of the tuber, we found what we were looking for in the high plateaus and mountain slopes of Peru. Fresh ginger is grown there. Decades of experience, careful use of resources and organic cultivation mean that you can rely on good quality here. The fields are supplied with crystal-clear mountain water and do not come into contact with any pesticides or herbicides due to the remote locations.
In addition to the ginger, which is grown in Peru, another part is grown in a small farm in Austria, where the ginger is also processed further. This saves part of the transport route and protects the environment.
After the fresh ginger has been cultivated, it is lovingly peeled and chopped by hand for hours. A lot of heart goes into every single ginger shot. 😊 The ginger is then gently boiled in small quantities and mixed with the other ingredients. The organic apple juice is also sourced from a regional farmer in Austria.
Due to the gentle processing method, the valuable ingredients are fully preserved.
In the next step, the bottles are filled by hand. This ensures that there are plenty of fresh ginger pieces in every single bottle.
Now the bottles are cleaned, labelled, packed and personally brought to us in Mannheim. This way we always have personal contact with our supplier and we can be sure that the shots will arrive safely 😊
From here, we pack the ginger shots with all the other products and send them on their way to you! 😊
