Why add a clove to your coffee?
Why have I started adding CLOVES to my morning coffee? ☕🌿
Because I came across a fascinating 12-week clinical study on clove extract, and the results caught my attention!

Researchers reported improvements in blood sugar, cholesterol, insulin resistance, and markers of inflammation.
But the finding that REALLY surprised me?
A SIXFOLD increase in the body’s production of glutathione! 🤯
Glutathione is our body’s “master” antioxidant and helps protect our cells from oxidative stress. It’s a major player in our natural detoxification processes. Pretty fascinating for something that comes from a tiny spice, right?!
Now, an important distinction: This was a relatively small study using a concentrated clove extract, NOT whole cloves in coffee. However, I always prefer the whole food form versus extracts so I’m giving it a 90 day trial!
