Ingredients of Moju ginger gut shot
There’s plenty of gut-friendly ingredients including apple, ginger, lemon and Acerola cherry powder. These juices are cold pressed for clean extraction.
It’s good to see there are no preservatives or sweeteners or anything artificial - just four natural ingredients.
I’d like to know the percentage of apple juice and lemon juice, but it isn’t offered.

Flavour of Moju ginger gut shot
The smell is very strongly of ginger.
The taste is fiery and fresh. Along with the fieriness there is sweetness from the apple juice. The tingling from the ginger remains in your throat for a while afterwards - but not in a bad way.
Effects
Through the strong ginger fire, it does give you a kick and a feeling of vitality - so the marketing is on point!
Whether through expectation or not, my stomach did feel settled afterwards.
Cost of Moju ginger gut shot

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 it 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.
