Tumeric drinks launched in Ireland
The Turmeric Co has launched its range of shot drinks into Ireland after seven years of development. The brand, founded by former international footballer Thomas Hal Robson-Kanu -- who claims turmeric aided his recovery from a broken leg, is available online and in over 100 Dunnes stores and selected SPARs across the country (RRP €2.99 per shot).
The brand consists of three flavours, with each 60ml shot containing 35 whole grams of fresh, uniquely extracted wet turmeric root.
Nature’s Remedy said the brand is the simplest way of adding fresh, organic turmeric to your diet, and Turmeric Fused with Ginger shot has an additional 2.5g of fresh and organic ginger root. The range is completed with Turmeric Fused with Beetroot, blended with freshly extracted beetroot and combined with flax oil and parsley. Additional ingredients in each shot include watermelon, pomegranate, pineapple and lemon, extracted directly from the fruits.
Each product also includes piperine, an ingredient which the company said enhances the bio availability of curcumin, the active ingredient within turmeric by up to 2000%.
