It's punchy hot! Is it meant to be?

Correct, it is PUNCHY!  There's 30g of raw turmeric, 20g of ginger and strong black pepper in each 100ml bottle. That's a lot of kick! You will notice it for sure.

If you're really blown away by the burn, you can add the tonic to water or a smoothie, no worries but typically, most people adjust to the heat and then ... everything else pales in comparison. Embrace the burn!!

Why should I take a turmeric tonic?

The benefits of turmeric are well documented. 

It has been used in India for thousands of years as a spice and medicinal herb.
Recently, science has started to back up what Indians have known for a long time — it really does contain compounds with medicinal properties.
These compounds are called curcuminoids, the most important of which is curcumin.
Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric. It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant.
Chronic inflammation contributes to many common Western diseases. Curcumin can suppress many molecules known to play major roles in inflammation.
