Ingredients

Ingredient notes:

Oranges: High in Vitamin C and studies show they can reduce markers of inflammation (which are often seen in viral illnesses) and is great for immune support.
Fresh ginger: Ginger has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects based on studies.
Lemon: Also another high Vitamin C fruit to support immunity. Adding in a little of the zest is a great way to get more nutrients as well.
Turmeric + Black Pepper: Curcumin, the main component of turmeric, has been found to have antibacterial properties. Black pepper assists in the absorption of Curcumin.
Honey: Studies have shown honey has antimicrobial and anti inflammatory effects

You can also use fresh turmeric, although it is a little harder to find. Fresh turmeric has more curcumin than powdered.
Add in other ingredients like cayenne pepper or garlic for other ways to boost the nutritional value in these immunity bombs.
