About Us
Quality daily health shots should be affordable without compromising on flavour and ingredients.
What started off as a spur of the moment attempt to recreate the type of ginger or turmeric shots I was buying in supermarkets. I then realised that there are so few ingredients in the more mainstream offerings, often with ginger and turmeric seemingly needing to be separate. I then set about looking to infuse my shots with a variety of botanical herbs and spices each with their own medicinal health related benefits. I believe this blend of natural and largely fresh ingredients give the 'Up Shot' a unique taste like no other health shot available, at an affordable price .
Alongside founding and running Manning's Health Shots, I am a healthy and active Head of Sport in a South West school. I have enjoyed being involved in a wide range of sports and physical activity throughout my life - and am loving it more than ever currently. I have run throughout my adulthood, competing in National, European and World events. In the past few months, as I'm knocking closer to 40, I am running PBs across a range of distances, and feel as fit as I ever have. I believe in the power of exercise and physical activity and all of the physical, mental and social benefits it brings. Having this consideration and passion led me to establish the business and hope to further promote healthy and active living.
Manning's Way
Homemade
All of the Manning's Health Shots are prepared, produced and pasteurised in my home kitchen in accordance with policies and practices from the Food Standards Agency and Somerset Council. We're proud to produce the Health Shots in this way, with a careful and considered approach to every drop that goes into each bottle.
Organic
We are always looking to keep our ingredients as organic as possible, particularly the fresh root ginger and turmeric. There shouldn't be a compromise on these foundation ingredients to each bottle of 'Up Shot'. The fresh rosemary is homegrown, with the view to expand this in the future to other ingredients.
Sustainability
We have a commitment to looking at always developing who we can be more sustainable as a small business. Currently, this starts from; walking to shops to locally source ingredients, a focus on recycling packaging and waste food materials during the production process, sourcing environmentally conscious postage packaging, to encouraging the reuse of glass bottles for home storage.
