Question 1

What is chlorophyll and why is it important in cold pressed juice?

Accepted Answer

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants responsible for photosynthesis — and it turns out to be remarkably beneficial for human health too. A comprehensive 2023 review in Antioxidants found that chlorophyll and chlorophyll-rich foods possess antioxidant, antimutagenic, anti-cancer, and anti-obesogenic properties. Chlorophyll also promotes liver function and aids in the detoxification of endocrine-disrupting compounds through a process called chelation — binding to harmful chemicals and helping the body eliminate them. Our Immunity Booster shot is rich in chlorophyll from fresh amla and green ingredients, delivering these benefits in concentrated cold pressed form. Unlike heat-processed juices, cold pressing preserves chlorophyll's delicate molecular structure.

Question 2

How does iron in cold pressed juice support immunity?

Accepted Answer

Iron is essential for immune function — it's required for the proliferation and maturation of immune cells, particularly lymphocytes. Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency worldwide and leads to impaired immune responses, increased susceptibility to infections, and fatigue. Our Immunity Booster shot provides iron from whole amla and green ingredients in a form that's naturally paired with vitamin C (600-700mg per amla fruit), which dramatically enhances non-heme iron absorption. Research by Carr & Maggini (2017) confirmed that vitamin C supports various cellular functions of both innate and adaptive immune systems — and iron is a critical co-factor in these pathways. The combination of iron + vitamin C in a single shot is more effective than either alone.

Question 3

What are digestive enzymes in cold pressed juice and how do they help?

Accepted Answer

Fresh cold pressed juice contains naturally occurring digestive enzymes — biological catalysts that help break down food into absorbable nutrients. Heat destroys these enzymes (they denature above 48°C), which is why cold pressing is critical. Research shows that plant-based proteolytic enzymes from fruits can modulate gut microbiota, increasing beneficial bacteria like Akkermansia muciniphila while decreasing harmful Proteobacteria. A study on juice-based diets found they altered intestinal microbiota composition favorably, associated with weight management and decreased lipid oxidation. Our Immunity Booster preserves these live digestive enzymes because we cold press without heat and deliver within 24 minutes — zero enzyme degradation from heat, pasteurization, or storage.
