These beet wellness shots are great for anyone trying to lower high blood pressure, inflammation, improve circulation, and overall wellness. They are also great for people who workout because they help boost energy levels and deliver oxygen to muscles. 

What Are Wellness Shots?

Wellness shots are small, concentrated drinks, usually 1–2 ounces that are made from a mixture of nutrient-rich ingredients like fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices, and extracts.

They help provide a quick dose of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants for optimal health, boosting the immune system, aiding digestion, and increasing energy levels.

Beet Wellness Shots Benefits

Beets – contains a crucial nutrient called nitrate which is converted into nitric oxide when it enters the body. When consumed, it helps relax and widen blood vessels which improves blood flow, lowers blood pressure, and delivers oxygen to muscles.

Lemon – helps boost the immune system and prevent cell damage and oxidative stress. It’s also a great source of vitamin C and potassium. Adding fresh lemon juice to your wellness shots will also help improve your skin quality and boost collagen production.

Ginger – contains 2 powerful compounds called 6-gingerol and 6-shogaol. Both work by stopping the production of inflammatory compounds and blocking key inflammatory pathways in the body. Ginger also helps with digestion, nausea, and boosts the immune system.

Orange – provides you with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that boost the immune system, support heart health, aid in iron absorption, and help reduce inflammation in the body.
