Keeping your immune system strong is a must if you want to protect your body from coughs, colds, and the flu. At Arden's Garden, we believe that juice can be one of your immune system's best friends. Packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, the right juices can provide a powerful boost to your body's natural defenses.
In this article, we'll explore six juices that are great for your immune system. Are you ready? Let’s get started!
6 Juices to Boost Your Immune System
Whether you're looking to ward off seasonal bugs or simply enhance your overall well-being through a juice cleanse, these delicious and natural juice options offer a tasty way to support your immune health.
1. Turmeric Juice
Turmeric juice supports immune health through its active compound, curcumin. This antioxidant reduces inflammation and enhances immune cell activity. Turmeric's antimicrobial properties help combat pathogens, while its liver-supporting effects indirectly boost immunity. While not a cure-all, regular consumption of turmeric juice can contribute to a stronger immune system as part of a balanced diet.
We know that turmeric juice isn’t the tastiest thing to drink. Luckily, you can get the benefits of this ingredient through other ways. Some common ways include taking turmeric shots or drinking a ready-made beverage that includes turmeric, like our refreshing Passion Fruit Turmeric! Moreover, at Arden’s, we use the fresh turmeric root for all of our products, which ensures maximum potency and bio-availability.
2. Green Juice
Green juice has many benefits that your immune system will love. They deliver a concentrated shot of hydration, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It’s perfect for refueling your body, especially when you feel under the weather. This vegetable juice mix supercharges immune cell production and activity, helping you easily fend off pesky illnesses.
If this sounds like something you need, our Multigreen juice is a refreshing blend of cucumbers, celery, spinach, kale, and lemon juice designed to support your body’s overall health. This nutrient-packed drink protects your immune system with its mix of hydration, vitamins K and C, antioxidants, and minerals. It’s a versatile drink, whether you want to incorporate it into your diet or try a juice cleanse.
3. Beets Apple Ginger Juice
Beets, apple juice, and ginger together as a juice might sound uncommon, but we promise it’s a combo that you shouldn’t sleep on. It’s a great gut health drink, promoting bacteria growth to help fight off diseases. Apples are full of Vitamin C and polyphenol while ginger helps fight off inflammation and oxidative stress. The juice transforms your body into a fortress, supporting healthy digestion, proper liver function, and better circulation!
You can get all of this with our Beet It Better juice, a carefully crafted blend of the three main ingredients pointed out above.
4. Ginger Juice
Ginger juice offers significant benefits for immune health. Its compounds, gingerols and shogaols, combat oxidative stress and inflammation, which can impair immunity. This juice stimulates immune cell production, strengthening the body's defenses. It also possesses antimicrobial properties, providing additional protection against pathogens. By supporting digestion and circulation, ginger juice helps maintain overall immune function.

Like turmeric, ginger juice isn’t everyone’s idea of a tasty drink. However, ginger shots are a popular alternative to get your nutrients in. You can also try our Firecracker Immunity Shot, which contains ginger alongside fruits like pineapple and cranberries, for a sweeter flavor that’s just as healthy.
5. Kale Juice
Think of kale as a multivitamin. It's loaded with vitamin C to boost white blood cell production and vitamin A to maintain the mucous membranes, the first line of defense against pathogens. Packed with antioxidants like beta-carotene and flavonoids, kale combats oxidative stress and reduces inflammation, while its vitamin E content supports T-cell function. It’s not a cure-all, but incorporating kale into a balanced diet can do wonders for your health.
Kale isn’t the most popular dish, which is why some drink it in liquid form. If this is more your forte, you can try our Kalenator juice, which includes bananas, strawberries, and mangoes for a sweeter taste and added nutrients like potassium, antioxidants, and gingerol.

6. Pineapple Apple Ginger Juice
Pineapple apple ginger juice offers a potent combination for immune support. Pineapples contribute bromelain, an anti-inflammatory enzyme, and vitamin C, which boosts white blood cell production. Apples add quercetin, an antioxidant with immune-modulating properties. Like we mentioned above, ginger provides gingerols and shogaols, compounds that reduce inflammation and stimulate immune cell activity. This trio creates a synergistic blend of vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds that bolster overall immune function, all of which you can get through Arden’s Garden’s very own Pinapple Apple Ginger Juice!
