- Vitamin C
- Potassium
- Folate
- Lycopene, a naturally occurring antioxidant
Lycopene has been studied for its role in supporting overall health and protecting cells from oxidative stress.

Ginger: More Than Just a Spice
Ginger contains natural compounds called gingerols and shogaols.
Studies suggest these compounds may help support:
- Healthy digestion
- Comfort after meals
- General wellness
- A healthy inflammatory response
But that is not all.
Many older adults enjoy ginger because it adds flavor without requiring extra sugar or salt.
