Turmeric, black pepper and honey offer a powerhouse of health benefits, particularly for boosting immunity. When combined, these ingredients form a potent paste that fights inflammation, enhances nutrient absorption, and provides antimicrobial benefits, supporting overall well-being and the immune system.
TURMERIC contains curcumin, a compound known for its potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. It helps the body combat oxidative stress and inflammation, both of which can weaken the immune system over time. Additionally, turmeric supports liver function, aiding in the detoxification process and overall immune defense.
BLACK PEPPER enhances the absorption of curcumin by up to 2,000%, making turmeric more bioavailable. It also has its own immune-boosting properties, aiding digestion and supporting respiratory health.
HONEY especially when raw, is rich in antioxidants, enzymes, and antibacterial compounds. It helps soothe the throat, fight infections, and promote the healing of wounds due to its natural antimicrobial properties. Honey also has prebiotic effects, supporting gut health, which plays a key role in immune function.
