Since I was a child, ginger has always been a common ingredient that we use in our kitchen. I love fresh ginger added to a smoothie or curry and I have a weakness for gingerbread cake and cookies. My favourite drink is a refreshing glass of ginger ale! I have always been a fan of ginger; it’s so versatile and it’s packed with nutritional benefits too. I love finding ingredients that are delicious and are good for you. When asked to try Fighter Shots, a selection of all-natural ginger based drinks, I of course signed up immediately.

Tell me more about the health benefits…
As mentioned, ginger has been researched and studied over the years and has been proven to have nutritional benefits.
- Ginger supports immunity – (The fresh root may even have antiviral effects which is very important, especially now).
- Ginger is anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and a source of antioxidants. Studies even suggest that it can help ease severe inflammation associated with arthritis.
- Medicinal purposes – Like honey, using ginger as a soothing application to your skin can stimulate circulation and soothe burns.
- Ginger root may help to reduce the symptoms associated with motion sickness, such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting and cold sweats. (I often carry ginger sweets with me when I go sailing, should the weather rock the boat!)
- Ginger helps the digestive system – ginger promotes the elimination of excess gas from the digestive system and is known to soothe the intestinal tract.
- Ginger helps the heart – ginger may help manage cholesterol levels, reduce damage to the arteries and lower high blood pressure, all of which benefits the heart and cardiovascular system.
- The soothing effects of ginger can help women with period pain – enough said, it’s a miracle herb!
Why do I like them?
- They taste good (Several different flavours with targeted additional benefits to choose from).
- All-natural ingredients.
- They are good for you – did I mention the health benefits?!
- The bottles are recyclable (or can be reused i.e. as a vase – I put small flowers in mine).
- The bottles are the perfect portion size and great for grab-and-go.
Final Thoughts…
I love the straight-up Ginger. It’s fiery and punchy, but drinkable. I have had ginger shots before that burn the whole way down and are not that pleasant to drink. Fighter Shots have the perfect ingredient ratio; a shot of healthy ginger packed with fiery goodness. I found the beetroot flavour a little too bitter for me, but I do have a sweet tooth, so the Manuka Honey flavour is next on my list to try.
If I lacked energy, felt tired or uninspired, a Fighter Shot would give me the boost that I needed.
These immunity boosting shots support a healthy body, which is even more important during a pandemic.
