Benefits of Moju extra strength ginger gut shot
Each of the four ingredients in this gut shot provide health benefits.
Ginger
Ginger has various health benefits for the gut and beyond.
Digestive health: Ginger can alleviate nausea and vomiting
Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects: Contains gingerol, a substance with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties
Pain relief: Studies have shown it may help reduce muscle pain and soreness due to its anti-inflammatory properties
Lowering blood sugar levels: Studies show ginger can help in managing blood sugar levels
Manganese: Supports bone formation, collagen production and metabolism

Vitamin C
This gut shot includes added vitamin C which supports immune function, aids collagen production for skin and tissue repair, and acts as an antioxidant to protect cells from damage.
Lemon juice
Lemon juice contains vitamin C and flavonoids which are strong antioxidants. It can also improve digestive health (in part due to the fibre it contains) and help in weight control.

Apple
Apple juice contains some vitamin C and polyphenols that act as antioxidants and may support gut and heart health. It contains fibre but not as much as whole apples.
Appearance
As the picture below shows, it has a thick, yellow appearance - almost like diluted paint.
Flavour
The aroma is very strongly of ginger with some apple in the background.
The taste is very fiery ginger - well beyond any gut shot I’ve had before. The first sip stings the entire mouth and throat and is like having a mild chilli drink. And the heat lingers for a little while. But none of this is a bad thing.
In summary, the flavour is exactly as described and if you want and enlivening, fiery gut shot - this is perfect. It may be too much for some, but you were warned ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Cost of Moju extra strength ginger gut shot
I bought a 60ml shot from Spar for £2.99, but you can find better value in larger 7-shot bottles which Sainbury’s sells for £6.95.
Review summary

Factors we consider in our ratings
The factors we consider when doing a review (and the weightings of each of these) may vary depending on the product we are testing, but here are the key general factors we consider when we settle on a rating for a product.
Health benefits
We find out how the product will be good for your health and outline the benefits for you in simple language. This often involves doing research so you don’t have to. We often link to scientific studies or articles summarising scientific findings so you can dig deeper if you want to.
Things detrimental to health
We want to highlight where a product might include something bad for your health - even if the product might be good for you in another way. This could include such things as pointing out certain additives it contains or high sugar levels.
How it’s made
This will vary depending on the product, but we want to see a quality process for making it and quality ingredients. For example, we want to see a kombucha traditionally fermented with lots of different microbial strains and we want to see a yoghurt made with fresh milk and not milk powders.
Price
While we expect quality products to be more expensive, they still have to be priced within reason. On the other side of things, a product which is priced very competitively will get a ratings boost based on the value it provides.
Flavour
For some products flavour won’t be a factor (eg probiotic tablets), but for others, like yoghurt or kimchi, flavour is a key aspect because these products are made to be enjoyed as well as being healthy! We will try to be as subjective as possible and describe the flavour in detail so you can get an idea of whether you would like it or not.
