Jicama, the fiber-rich root vegetable, is a key ingredient in all of Xicama's products, including its functional probiotic shots. These wellness shots make the most of jicama, an ingredient that's sourced from Mexico and known to be high in nutrients and antioxidants.
While Xicama's shot-sized Gut Health Elixir supports the body with Vitamin C, anti-inflammatory turmeric, lime and ginger, the brand's HPP cold-processed Brain Health Elixir boasts a similar but different formula that is powered by turmeric, the blue-green algae spirulina, matcha and lime.
With many health-conscious consumers looking for a way to quickly bolster their health by addressing multiple bodily systems at once, these shots offer an effective way to support a better state of being through the gut.
