Turmeric Shots - Benefits, Timing, and How We Make Them

Turmeric has been used for centuries as both a culinary spice and a natural wellness tool. In recent years, turmeric shots have become a popular choice for individuals seeking to incorporate concentrated anti-inflammatory and antioxidant support into their daily routines. 

Turmeric is not just an ingredient at Purée Juice Bar; it’s part of our commitment to creating nutrient-dense, raw, and organic options that deliver real benefits without shortcuts.

Why Turmeric Shots Are So Popular

The bright yellow color of turmeric is derived from curcumin, a plant compound that has been studied for its potential to support joint comfort, digestive balance, and overall wellness. While sprinkling turmeric on food is helpful, a concentrated shot provides a more potent dose in one quick serving.

Because curcumin is best absorbed with a source of fat or piperine (found in black pepper), many turmeric shots are paired with ginger, lemon, or a touch of healthy oil to maximize effectiveness. We use fresh, raw turmeric root at Purée, never powders or shortcuts, to ensure each shot is as clean and bioavailable as possible.

Benefits of Turmeric Shots

While turmeric shots are not a cure-all, many people incorporate them for these potential benefits:

●     Natural inflammation support: Curcumin may help the body manage normal inflammatory responses.

●     Digestive comfort: Combined with ginger and lemon, turmeric can support healthy digestion and reduce occasional bloating.

●     Antioxidant power: Curcumin is a strong antioxidant that helps protect the body’s cells from oxidative stress.

●     Immune system boost: Many enjoy turmeric shots during seasonal transitions to help keep their systems resilient.

The true strength of turmeric shots lies in consistency. A small serving each day can complement a balanced diet and lifestyle in a way that feels both practical and effective.

When Is the Best Time to Take a Turmeric Shot?

Timing can significantly impact how your body responds. Many people find that drinking a turmeric shot first thing in the morning helps them start the day with focus and energy. Others prefer to take it after a meal, since pairing turmeric with food that contains healthy fats may increase absorption.

Here are a few timing tips to experiment with:

●     Morning reset: Take on an empty stomach for quick absorption and a refreshing start.

●     With meals: Combine with healthy fats (like avocado or nuts) to help your body utilize curcumin more effectively.

●     Post-workout: Many enjoy turmeric shots after exercise to help their body recover and feel balanced.

The most critical factor is regularity. Whether you build it into your morning routine or enjoy it midday, consistency is what delivers the best long-term benefits.

How We Make Turmeric Shots at Purée

Every turmeric shot at Purée Juice Bar begins with fresh, organic turmeric root, carefully pressed in small batches to preserve its potency. We combine turmeric with complementary ingredients, such as ginger, lemon, and cayenne, to enhance both flavor and function. 

Because we never use pasteurization or HPP (“cold pressure” processing), the enzymes and nutrients remain intact.

Each shot is bottled in its raw, organic, and cold-pressed form, delivering the powerful compounds of turmeric in their purest form. This approach ensures you are not just getting flavor, but true nutritional value with every sip.

Try Turmeric the Right Way

Adding turmeric to your diet is simple, but choosing a raw, cold-pressed shot makes all the difference.
