Fire Cider is rich in antioxidants and helps to support your immune system, circulatory system and respiratory health. It also promotes healthy digestion by stimulating stomach acid production and can help to alleviate bloating and indigestion. Ginger and horseradish support digestion, garlic and turmeric are anti-inflammatory and protect against oxidative stress.
It can be used in culinary dishes (salad dressing, marinades, or in place of vinegar in any recipe) and it can be taken as a daily tonic or at the onset of illness.
