What make's Jake's so powerful?

Jake’s is a steeped (never pressed) blend of ground Peruvian organic ginger and lemons in hot water for a specific time and temperature to extract and activate more of ginger's active ingredient. Gingerol. Steeping is always healthier than pressing because it releases more of the essential oils.  This is why Jake's consistently gets five-star reviews and is recognized as one of the best organic ginger juices throughout the Midwest and all over the USA. 

More Power:
  •    Our warm steeping method releases higher levels of gingerol — the active compound behind ginger’s legendary anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting powers.
    •    Cold-pressed juices can leave these powerful compounds locked inside the root.

Better Flavor:
    •    Steeping unlocks a bold, clean taste — strong but smooth.
    •    Cold-pressed juices often taste sharp, raw, or grassy.

Naturally Fresher:
    •    Our steeped ginger juice stays naturally fresher longer — without chemical preservatives.
    •    Cold-pressed juices typically need pasteurization or pressure treatment.

Rooted in Tradition:
    •    Steeping has been used for centuries to prepare healing ginger tonics around the world.
    •    Jake’s StrongGinger™ honors these traditions — bringing you real strength, the natural way.
