Key Points:

Cold-pressed, fresh-pressed citrus preserves live enzymes and nutrients.

Natural energy support without caffeine or added sugar.

Vitamin C is often praised as the immune-boosting vitamin — but when it comes to energy and resilience, it’s doing much more behind the scenes. From helping your body produce collagen to supporting healthy adrenal function and iron absorption, Vitamin C keeps your cells charged and your metabolism humming.
Unfortunately, not all Vitamin C products are created equal.
Most powdered supplements, gummy vitamins, or shelf-stable juices lose potency through heat, extraction, and time. What’s left is often a fraction of the active compounds your body actually needs.
That’s where fresh-pressed Vitamin C energy shots make a difference.
By using cold-pressed, real citrus — like Valencia oranges and lemons — within 30 days of harvest, Elixir’s shots preserve live enzymes and phytonutrients your body can actually use. The result? A functional energy lift that feels clean, not jittery — and supports your immunity, skin, and recovery in one quick sip.

5 Science-Backed Benefits of Vitamin C Energy Shots
1. They Support Immunity — Naturally
Vitamin C helps your immune system respond more effectively by supporting white blood cell production and protecting them from oxidative stress. Studies show that maintaining optimal Vitamin C levels can reduce the severity and duration of common colds and boost your resistance to everyday stressors.
Unlike capsules or powders that degrade over time, fresh-pressed Vitamin C shots preserve the living compounds that make a real difference for your immunity.
2. They Promote Clean, Steady Energy (Without Caffeine)
Vitamin C supports adrenal health, which influences how your body manages fatigue and stress. When your adrenal glands are supported, your natural energy feels smoother and more sustained — no caffeine, no crash.
Elixir’s Vitamin C-rich blends, like the Immunity Shot and Vitality Shot, pair oranges and lemons with adaptogenic roots like Red Hawaiian Turmeric and Peruvian Ginger for a synergy that supports energy on a cellular level.
Turmeric helps reduce inflammation, ginger supports circulation and digestion, and citrus provides the clean metabolic support that helps you power through the day — all in one cold-pressed shot.
3. They Help Your Skin Glow from Within
Collagen isn’t just a supplement buzzword — it’s a protein your body builds naturally, and Vitamin C is the key ingredient that makes it happen.
By stimulating collagen synthesis, Vitamin C energy shots help maintain healthy skin elasticity and resilience while protecting against free radical damage from stress, pollution, and UV exposure.
Think of it as your daily internal sunscreen — glowing skin powered by real food.
4. They Aid Iron Absorption and Metabolic Function
Vitamin C doesn’t just support immunity; it also helps your body absorb iron, a critical mineral for oxygen transport and energy production.
When paired with iron-rich vegetables — like beetroot in Elixir’s Endurance Shot — Vitamin C enhances bioavailability, helping your body convert oxygen into energy more efficiently.
That’s why fresh citrus and beets are such a powerful duo: one delivers the nutrient, the other unlocks it.
5. They Combat Oxidative Stress and Inflammation
Everyday life — from workouts to work deadlines — creates oxidative stress, which can drain your energy and accelerate aging.
Vitamin C is a frontline antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals, helping protect your cells and support faster recovery. Combined with anti-inflammatory botanicals like turmeric and ginger, it amplifies your body’s natural defense system for holistic wellness you can feel.
