GingerUp Nigeria Limited is an organic fruits and nuts company concerned about using healthy food to maintain and nourish the human body. The idea of GingerUp and GingerShot metamorphosed from a kitchen experiment in the process of finding a nutritional and healthy drink for an upwardly mobile family in Lagos while trying to avoid carbonated drinks. We believe in promoting hygienically processed natural drinks that produce preventative antibodies and can boost the immune system against bacteria and viral infections. We believe in sustainable partnership and look forward to getting GingerUp and GingerShot to every corner of Nigeria and West Africa markets. Our business promotes the activities of local farmers in ginger, honey, turmeric, lemon and lime.
