Let us continue from our previous posts on Prebiotics and Fiber and on Probiotics. We discussed seismic changes brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic that prompted the growth in healthier trends. Besides having a healthy gut, people are also interested in health-boosting drinks. In part three of our “For Beter Immune Health” series, we will shed light on exciting trends and share which ingredients to focus on for stronger immunity. 

 Since the outbreak of COVID-19, people have placed more priority on their health – spurring the demand for products supporting the immune system. In Indonesia, Jamu is a traditional medicinal herbal drink that is known to boost one’s immune system and maintain good health. It uses fresh and raw ingredients such as tamarind, galangal, ginger, and turmeric.

Health-boosting drinks have had a major impact on the beverage sector with many product innovations claiming to strengthen the immune system. In the UK, Purearth brand launched “Turmeric + Ginger Shot”, a great source of nutrients.

As we have learned in this three part series “For Better Immune Health”, there are many different ways to boost our immune system for improved health. While there are many natural foods rich in prebiotics, probiotics, phyto-nutriens, antioxidants and vitamins, there is also a big opportunity and demand for foods and beverages supplemented with these health ingredients.
