These Immune Shot Gummies are one easy and delicious way to support your immune system throughout winter. They have a fresh citrusy flavour thanks to the kombucha, and a hint of fresh ginger and turmeric for extra antioxidants. Naturally sweetened with raw honey they contain no refined sugars, and we’ve added Chief Unflavoured Collagen Protein Powder for an extra nutritional boost.
