MOJU’s Nutritionist, Ross Austen, Describes How You Can Support Your Immunity This Winter

Winter is just around the corner and our bodies might need time to adjust to the shorter days, and the colder weather. MOJU’s Vitamin D shot could be the answer and here’s why…
MOJU’s Nutrition and Research Lead, Ross Austen, states:For those living in the UK it is essential that we supplement with Vitamin D especially during the winter months. As from October through to March the intensity of the sunlight is not strong enough to naturally produce Vitamin D from the sun. As a result we solely rely on our diet and supplementation to ensure we stay healthy. It is challenging to achieve the recommended daily dose of 10 micrograms just through your diet alone, which is why consumers are encouraged to supplement with products such as  MOJU’s Vitamin D shot – which is packed with 396% of your recommended daily intake of Vitamin D3.”

Vitamin D shot

The trusted ingredients when it comes to remedying a cold are Ginger and Turmeric, which are both prominent within the Vitamin D shot, so it’s – the perfect plant-based shot that is exactly what your body and bones need for that little immunity support.

I have taken a shot every day for two weeks now and I feel great. I can’t remember the last time I had this much energy. I also got ill and recovered super quick. I can’t recommend these enough. Love them.
