Juniper berries are small, but they punch above their weight when it comes to health benefits. Here’s why these berries are a great addition to our FiRE TONiC™ and your diet:

1. Rich in Antioxidants: Juniper berries are loaded with antioxidants, including flavonoids, polyphenols, and vitamin C. These compounds help fight oxidative stress, protect your cells from damage, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

4. Diuretic Effects: Juniper berries act as a natural diuretic, promoting increased urine production and helping to flush out toxins from the body. This can be beneficial for urinary tract health and reducing water retention.
5. Immune System Support: The high vitamin C content in juniper berries boosts the immune system, helping to fend off infections and illnesses.
6. Antimicrobial Properties: Juniper berries have natural antimicrobial effects, helping to combat harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi, thus supporting overall immune health.
7. Heart Health: The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of juniper berries support heart health by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, lowering blood pressure, and improving cholesterol levels.
8. Blood Sugar Regulation: Juniper berries may help regulate blood sugar levels, making them beneficial for people with diabetes or those at risk of developing diabetes.
