How It Works

Turmeric is a powerful anti-inflammatory, with much clinical research to back up it’s use in treating chronic pain and inflammation conditions like arthritis. It’s also quite safe to consume in large amounts.

Ginger also has a broad range of anti-inflammatory actions; there is strong evidence that ginger moderates the biochemical pathways activated in chronic inflammation.

In addition to being the ingredient that makes these gummy snacks gummy, gelatin is used in anti-inflammatory medicines like Ibuprofine to improve the delivery of the medicine within the body.

And last but not least, cherry fruit juice is well-known for its anti-inflammatory benefits as well as sleep inducing effects.
