Downsize Discomfort. Fresh ginger aids in digestion and helps reduce postworkout muscular pain due to compounds that suppress inflammation of joints and joint cartilage.
Boost Immunity. Buttermilk has probiotic qualities, which help improve digestion and nutrient absorption and also increase your body’s defense against disease.
Peach Prowess. Peaches contain powerful antioxidants that seek out free radicals in the body and render them harmless. Beauty Bonus: Antioxidants slow the aging process, making you feel and look younger.
Whey Better. A rich source of essential amino acids, whey protein powder can improve bone health, support immunity and speed up muscle growth and repair.
