Ingredients Mamut C
To function properly, your body needs enough vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. That is why a healthy diet with lots of fruit and vegetables is important. The Mamut C elixirs and tea mix are packed with superfoods – ingredients rich in healthy, organic nutrients. This makes Mamut C a great addition to your daily diet.
But what exactly are the ingredients, and what makes them so powerful? On this page, you will get to know all the ingredients of the Classic, Moringa Honey, and Tea Mix.
Mamut C Classic
The Mamut C Classic is the first drink in the series. The Classic contains: Horseradish, Cayenne pepper, Ginger, Turmeric, Orange, Lemon, Garlic, Onion, Rosemary, and Organic apple cider vinegar. All these ingredients are 100% organic and extremely suitable for a vegan, gluten-free, or paleo diet.
⇒ Cayenne Pepper – The spicy pick-me-up
The cayenne pepper gives the Mamut C elixir extra spice! Cayenne pepper is one of the many chili peppers and is related to the bell pepper and jalapeño. The pepper contains the substance capsaicin. This substance not only provides a spicy taste, but may also have health benefits, such as improved metabolism, pain relief, and relieving cold symptoms such as a stuffy nose. The cayenne pepper also contains antioxidants such as flavonoids and carotenoids.
Cayenne pepper in short:
- Spicy flavor, similar to jalapeño

⇒ Horseradish

Another unknown but powerful superfood is Turmeric, also known as turmeric. The root is somewhat like ginger in color, shape, and taste — a combination of bitter and spicy. Turmeric is used in many oriental dishes as a coloring agent and seasoning, but can also be eaten as a vegetable.
What Makes Turmeric So Special? The root contains ‘curcumin,’ which is a strong antioxidant. Turmeric also contains vitamin B6 and zinc, substances that contribute to your immune system and metabolism. Turmeric is used in Ayurveda and Chinese medicine. Some studies from that medicine suggest that the substance curcumin promotes resistance, inhibits inflammation, and soothes pain, among other things.

⇒ Organic Apple Cider Vinegar – The namesake of Mamut C?
Did you know that Mamut C partly owes its name to apple cider vinegar? The cider has a sour taste and you can taste it well in our elixirs.
