At Roogenic, we love combining traditional bushfoods with everyday ingredients to create simple, effective recipes. This Kakadu Plum Immunity Shot is designed to be taken daily, especially during cooler months or whenever your body needs extra support.
Why Kakadu Plum is the Star
Kakadu Plum (Gubinge) is a native Australian fruit traditionally used by Indigenous communities for its healing properties. It contains up to 100 times more vitamin C than oranges, making it a natural powerhouse for:
- Supporting immune function
- Reducing oxidative stress
- Promoting collagen production
- Enhancing skin and cellular health
The Roogenic Kakadu Plum powder used in this recipe is 100% natural, wild-harvested, and packed with bioavailable nutrients – no additives or fillers, just pure plant power.
Why the Immunity Shot Works
Kakadu Plum
This native Australian superfruit is one of the richest natural sources of vitamin C, helping to support immune defence, reduce oxidative stress, and promote collagen production. A small daily amount goes a long way.
Ginger and Turmeric
These roots are widely known for their anti-inflammatory and digestive properties. When taken consistently, they may help reduce inflammation and support gut health.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Naturally fermented and rich in beneficial acids, apple cider vinegar supports healthy digestion and helps maintain balanced pH levels in the body.
Lemon and Orange Juice
Fresh citrus provides an extra dose of vitamin C and antioxidants, supporting the body’s natural defences.
Black Pepper
Adding just a pinch of black pepper enhances the absorption of curcumin, the active compound in turmeric. While cayenne pepper is also beneficial (it stimulates circulation and adds heat), black pepper is the better choice for this recipe due to its synergy with turmeric.
Lemon Myrtle Honey
Raw honey offers antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. Using Roogenic Lemon Myrtle Honey also adds a smooth, citrusy flavour.

Ingredients
-
¼ teaspoon Roogenic Kakadu Plum powder
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger (or ¼ tsp ground ginger) - ¼ teaspoon freshly grated turmeric (or ¼ tsp ground turmeric)

- Stir thoroughly or shake in a small jar until combined.

- When is the Best Time to Take It?
For best results, consume this immunity shot first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. This supports faster absorption and gives your immune system an early boost to start the day.
You can also take it as part of a midday routine if you're looking to support digestion or energy levels naturally.
Making a Batch of Immunity Shots
If you prefer to simplify your mornings, this Kakadu Plum Immunity Shot can easily be made in a batch; simply multiply the ingredients. For optimal freshness and nutritional value, a three-day batch is recommended, although you can extend this to seven days if desired.
Storage Tips
- Store the mixture in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid or a small bottle, and keep it refrigerated
- Shake well before each serve, as natural settling will occur.
- Ech morning, pour out around 60 to 80ml (about a quarter cup) into a small glass or shot bottle and drink on an empty stomach for best absorption.
