Overview
Ginger is probably one of the first plants to be cultivated by
man. Ginger is derived from the tuberous rhizome (underground
root) of the perennial plant Zingiber officinale. It has been used
in Asia for at least 5,000 years. The ancient Greeks used ginger
to aid digestion to the extent that they added it to their bread;
this was the first gingerbread. Ginger is one of the best known
folk remedies for stomach upsets, indigestion, cramps, and to
dispel chills. Ginger acts as an antispasmodic, increasing
peristalsis, in addition to stimulating gastric acid secretion and
aiding the expulsion of intestinal gas. Recent research is showing
promise that ginger may be used to support cardiovascular health.
Other studies indicate that ginger can be used for supporting
healthy joint function as it has been used in Ayurvedic healing. A
double blind study conducted in England found that Ginger was more
effective in relieving nausea and motion sickness than certain
pharmaceuticals. The active constituent in ginger is gingerol
which is an oleoresin that gives ginger its aroma and its
therapeutic properties. Plant part used is the root.
Our Ginger is standardized to 5% gingerols and is available in
120 count vegetarian capsules.
