8 Immune-Boosting Shots to Get You Through Cold & Flu Season

As the cold and flu season approaches, staying healthy and building a robust immune system become more important than ever. Fortunately, Almond Cow offers a variety of delicious and nutrient-packed wellness shots that can help support your whole body, all concentrated into 1.5 ounces. Here’s how each one can help you stay well this season.

1. Glow Wellness Shot

The Glow Wellness Shot is packed with ginger, lemon, and turmeric—three powerful ingredients known for their anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting effects. Ginger also helps soothe sore throats and helps fight off infection, while lemon provides a hefty dose of vitamin C. The addition of turmeric, with its active compound curcumin, helps to reduce inflammation and can aid in respiratory health. This shot is a great way to kickstart your day and give your body a quick, refreshing boost.

2. Power Wellness Shot

Loaded with nutrient-dense ingredients like apple cider vinegar, cayenne pepper, and ginger, the Power Wellness Shot is designed to invigorate and support your body’s natural defenses. Apple cider vinegar contains beneficial probiotics and enzymes that promote gut health, which is vital for a strong immune system. Cayenne pepper adds a fiery kick that can help clear sinuses and improve circulation, while ginger helps combat germs and bacteria. The combination not only stimulates the immune response but also provides a revitalizing energy boost.

3. Wellness Elixir

Okay, it's technically not a shot, but the Wellness Elixir is a soothing drink that combines herbal ingredients such as chamomile, elderberry, and echinacea, which are traditionally known for their immune-supporting properties. Elderberry, in particular, is rich in antioxidants and has been used for centuries to help alleviate cold and flu symptoms. Echinacea is believed to reduce the duration of colds, while chamomile helps to calm and relax the body, promoting rest and recovery. Sipping on this elixir can be a comforting way to stay warm and well during colder days.

4. Cacao Chill Wellness Shot

Chocolate lovers will enjoy the Cacao Chill Wellness Shot, which combines raw cacao, adaptogenic herbs, and a touch of honey. Cacao is packed with antioxidants that help neutralize free radicals, potentially reducing the risk of getting sick. Adaptogens, like ashwagandha or reishi, support the body’s stress response, which can be crucial for maintaining a resilient immune system. This wellness shot provides a comforting and tasty way to unwind while delivering powerful health benefits.

5. Blue Majik Wellness Shot

Blue Majik, a blue-green algae extract, is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making it a superfood that supports overall health. This Blue Majik Wellness Shot also contains ginger and lemon, which boost immunity and add a zesty flavor. The unique blue color and nutrient profile of Blue Majik make it a great addition to your cold and flu prevention routine, providing your body with essential nutrients for optimal function.

6. Love Potion Wellness Shot

Don’t let the name fool you—this wellness shot isn’t just for romance! The Love Potion Shot combines beets, pomegranate juice, and ginger for a potent mix that supports heart health and boosts circulation. Beets are known for their high levels of nitrates, which can help improve blood flow, while pomegranate juice provides a rich source of antioxidants. The ginger adds an extra immune-boosting kick, making this wellness shot a perfect addition to your winter routine.

7. Blueberry Lemon Probiotic Shot 

The Blueberry Lemon Probiotic Shot combines the tangy freshness of lemons with the sweet, antioxidant-rich goodness of blueberries to create a wellness shot that not only tastes delicious but also promotes gut health. Blueberries are packed with vitamins, minerals, and powerful antioxidants that help protect your body against oxidative stress. When paired with the natural probiotics in the shot, these nutrients support digestive health and enhance immune function. Lemon adds a burst of vitamin C, known for its immune-boosting properties, while also aiding in detoxification. The probiotics included in this shot work to balance the gut microbiome, which is crucial for overall health and wellness.

8. Immunity Shots

Designed specifically with immune support in mind, Almond Cow Immunity Shots are a blend of elderberry, citrus fruits, and other natural ingredients known for their immune-enhancing properties. Elderberry is famous for reducing the severity of cold and flu symptoms, while citrus fruits provide a natural source of vitamin C to help fend off illnesses. These shots are an excellent way to give your immune system a little extra help during the most challenging months of the year.
