• Timing: Drink on an empty stomach in the morning or at least 2 hours after your last meal to maximise absorption.

  • Frequency: Five days a week for a visible change in 4–6 weeks; collagen synthesis is gradual.

  • Storage: Fresh is best—make single-day batches. The mucilage may thicken; stir before sipping.

  • Hydration Tip: Follow with a glass of plain water to usher bioactives through your system.

Benefits at a Glance

  • Quells Inflammation: Omega-3 ALA in chia and gingerols in ginger lower pro-inflammatory cytokines that accelerate ageing.

  • Enhances Antioxidant Defences: Honey polyphenols, turmeric and clove form a broad-spectrum free-radical shield, reducing oxidative stress.
