With a vivid, golden hue that shines as bright as the morning sun, turmeric—also known in Latin as "terra merita"—is a plant that everyone may benefit from. Dating back almost 4,000 years ago, turmeric first gained tremendous popularity in India as a dynamic culinary spice that could instantly turn any food base into a mesmerizing yellow color. It then became famous for its medicinal properties in China and Africa.1
In today’s world, turmeric is still considered nature’s golden child—often a primary ingredient in pastes, herbal teas, extracts, and curries. It also naturally exudes a warm, yet mild earthy flavor!
At Suja Organic, our favorite way to consume turmeric is through our best-selling Immunity Turmeric Pineapple Shot! Today, let’s cover all the benefits of turmeric shots and how to incorporate them into your daily health routine.
What are the Benefits of Turmeric Shots?
As we alluded to earlier, turmeric is one of the powerful superfoods that can support overall wellness! Because it contains an active ingredient called curcumin, it offers many soothing properties that may ignite benefits.2
1. Aids in Digestion
If gut health is on the mind, then turmeric may come to the rescue! Curcumin can give the body a little nudge to activate the digestive tract, which can provide a good ‘flow’ to your day.3
2. Antioxidant Effects
Numerous studies have shown that turmeric is one of the most powerful antioxidants around, which may guard the body from certain environmental stressors. Translation: antioxidants support your overall wellness, keeping you strong no matter what season.4
3. Radiant Skin
Whether you ingest turmeric or use it topically, it’s been linked to supporting skin health due to its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties! What’s not to love about glowy, radiant skin all year long?5
4. Immune Health
Curcumin doesn’t just bolster digestive health, it also supports overall immunity! Based on a study conducted on the impact of curcumin on immune response, there’s a direct correlation between turmeric root and a healthy immune system.6

A single turmeric shot with nothing else might seem a bit bland, but when paired with other star ingredients, it can be a tropical sipping sensation.

When’s the Best Time to Drink Turmeric Shots?

Many people find that beginning their day with a turmeric shot is the perfect way to jumpstart their morning. The combination of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds, and digestive support gives your body a nourishing boost right from the get-go. It’s like setting a healthy tone for the day ahead!
For others, the midday slump can be tough to shake, and that’s where a turmeric shot can really shine. Taking one in the afternoon can help propel you out of that energy dip, offering a natural lift without the jitters or crash that often come with caffeine. Plus, the refreshing combination of pineapple, citrus, and turmeric is a great way to stay hydrated and give your body a nutrient-packed boost when you need it most.
