High-Heat Wellness Shots

Greenhouse Doubles Ginger in Fiery Ginger Extra Strength

Greenhouse is pushing its Fiery Ginger line hotter in Canada with Fiery Ginger Extra Strength, a wellness shot for drinkers who wanted more bite than classic Fiery Ginger delivered. The extra-strength version keeps the same small bottle but doubles both ginger and turmeric, turning a quick shot into a sharper, spicier option.

Black pepper is built in to help the body take up curcumin, the turmeric compound tied to the shot's functional pitch. Each bottle also supplies 50% of the daily value for zinc and vitamin C.

Doubling ginger and turmeric turns intensity into a line-extension strategy, giving buyers a clear reason to choose between a classic shot and a hotter one. In Canada, where the formula builds on Greenhouse's leading wellness shot, extra heat widens the category from function alone to function plus flavor impact.
