The scientific name for ginger is Zingiber officinale and it has become one of the most commonly used spices in the entire world. The most commonly used part of the ginger plant is the root. Even with the commonality of ginger, there is surprisingly little research done on the other parts of the plant and the majority of the research focuses on the roots, but as we’ll find out soon, there is a very good reason for this!
Ginger root is chock full of interesting volatile bioactive compounds, the main class of which are the gingerols and shogaols. Gingerol is oftentimes regarded as being one of the principal bioactives, however, the shogaols are also very important to the overall effects of ginger. Not only are these volatile compounds responsible for the interesting effects of ginger, they are also what give ginger its pungency and taste!
In addition to the gingerols and shogaols, ginger also contains a fairly wide range of terpenes which give ginger its interesting citrusy aroma. Some notable examples include citral which gives ginger its sharp lemon aroma and alpha-farnesene which further adds to the floral and citrusy aroma of ginger. These terpenes however may also contribute to the overall effects of ginger, and while we don’t standardize to these compounds, they likely exist to some degree in our ginger extract and may add to the overall effects profile.
Speaking of standardization, our ginger extract is standardized to a whopping 10% of gingerols and shogaol!*
Ginger has a long history of use with many different cultures utilizing ginger for its array of ginger health benefits. Most likely native to southeast Asia, ginger was used as a spice, food, and supplement. Ginger was first used in ancient China and India and was brought to the Mediterranean region in the 1st century. Today, ginger is a common addition to teas, cookies, sodas and candy due to its delicious and soothing flavor. However, where ginger really shines, is in higher doses as a supplement!
Gingerol and Shogaol are two of the main constituents that make up the majority of ginger benefits. Gingerol is a key part of ginger and the primary source of the aroma associated with Ginger. Studies have shown that Gingerol helps to support balanced inflammation levels, balanced oxidation levels and cellular function. Shogaol, on the other hand, is a biologically active phenylpropanoid compound that works to promote cellular function and balanced inflammation levels and is formed during the drying process for ginger roots.
One of the first benefits that people often think of when it comes to ginger is how it helps to promote stomach comfort. Studies have shown that it can benefit the stomach in many different ways as it helps many people manage upset stomachs. Ginger achieves this by blocking a very specific serotonin receptor, the 5-HT3a receptor. This receptor underlies a lot of undesirable gastro intestinal issues, and thus blocking this receptor may offer relief of discomfort. Blocking this receptor may even help with motion induced discomfort, such as discomfort induced by traveling by car/bus or boat.
Ginger is also known to promote cognitive function and balanced inflammation levels. Some studies have shown that ginger may help promote cognitive function due to its ability to help support balanced neuroinflammation levels. Researchers believe gingerol and shogaol are responsible for this particular effect and that the benefits towards balancing inflammation levels extend to overall cognitive function.

Reading reviews with this Ginger and forgetting how good it was for most people's stomachs, I decided to go ahead and buy me a jar. Bam. It does significantly more than just allowing a sour tummy feel better. This stuff is legit and does so many things for your neurotransmitters, energy, and other behind the scenes kind of things. Folks do yourself a huge favor and buy you a jar of ginger, you and your family members will not be disappointed as it does so many things. Love this company and you guys and always will. Have a wonderful week! And as always 5 BIG Stars

Helping with digestion, liver health, and blood circulation. Great supplement.
Excellent, high quality product. Works as advertised.
I've been taking ginger every day in various forms for years. This is easily the strongest form I've found; really the only thing that helps stomach upset. I generally mix half or a full capsule into hot water or with herbal tea.
The BEST Ginger extract I have ever taken. And so strong...don't be tempted to take a sniff of the open container...unless you have a blocked nose you want to get rid of. I get gastro issues from time to time, bloating, gas, etc, and this just fixes it. Make sure you're standing or your not slouched because if this capsule dissolves before your stomach you're in for a shock and need some kefir or milk handy! Seems to have some nootropic benefit too, I really want to try it on it's own one day, instead of the crazy stack I use currently. Brilliant as per usual ND.
I broke open a capsule and mixed the powder with warm water to make a tea, and the flavor is very much on par with fresh ginger root tea. The physical effects are about 2x what I expected out of a similar sized cup of freshly brewed ginger tea. This product has now become a staple in my household.
