APPLE CIDER VINEGAR: DIGESTIVE AID 

Apple cider vinegar is renowned for its ability to improve digestion by increasing stomach acid production. It contains acetic acid, which can help break down food more efficiently and enhance nutrient absorption, supporting overall digestive health. Additionally, apple cider vinegar has been shown to have antimicrobial properties, which can help balance gut bacteria and reduce harmful pathogens.

GARLIC: IMMUNE-BOOSTING SUPERFOOD 

Garlic is packed with bioactive compounds such as allicin, which is known for its antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties. These compounds boost the immune system, helping your body fight off infections and inflammation. Garlic also contains antioxidants that support the body’s protective mechanisms against oxidative stress, thereby promoting overall health and longevity.

OREGANO: ANTIOXIDANT POWERHOUSE 

Oregano is rich in antioxidants and phytonutrients, including carvacrol and thymol, which have potent anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. These compounds help combat oxidative stress and reduce inflammation, supporting overall health. Oregano has also been shown to support respiratory health and improve gut health by inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria and promoting the balance of beneficial gut flora.

RED PEPPER FLAKES: METABOLISM BOOSTER 

Red pepper flakes contain capsaicin, a compound that has been found to increase metabolism and promote fat burning by stimulating thermogenesis. Capsaicin also provides a warming sensation, which can stimulate digestive fire (agni) and improve circulation. Additionally, capsaicin has been studied for its potential to reduce appetite and support weight management.

ITALIAN PARSLEY: DETOXIFYING HERB 

Italian parsley is a nutrient-dense herb rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron, folate, and other essential minerals. Its diuretic properties help flush out toxins from the body, supporting kidney health and overall detoxification. Parsley also contains flavonoids and antioxidants that protect cells from oxidative damage and support immune function. Moreover, parsley’s chlorophyll content aids in detoxifying the liver and improving digestion.
