Ginger Extract

Ginger is a tropical Asian perennial that is grown in Australia, Brazil, China, India, Jamaica, West Africa, and parts of the United States. The rhizome, which is used medicinally and as a culinary spice, is harvested after 6 to 20 months of maturation; taste and pungency improve with age. The plant bears a green-purple bloom in terminal spikes; the flowers resemble orchids in appearance. Ginger has traditionally been used to treat headaches and migraines, high blood pressure and flow, chills, and colds.

Ginger extract contains active ingredients called gingerols. Ginger has been shown in scientific research to be an effective natural stomach-soother and digestive system tonic. Furthermore, ginger has a number of elements that may support healthy cardiovascular function, promote a balanced immune system response, and may aid to temporarily relieve menstruation pain and osteoarthritic pain.
