Effective Dosage: There is currently no clinical evidence that Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is effective as a weight loss supplement at any dosage. Most studies using ginger to treat nausea and indigestion have used 1 gram of powdered dried root per day.
Ginger, also known as Zingiber officinale, is a shoot-like plant with a single purple-green flower that contains a thick root from which uses for this plant originate. The most active chemical compounds in ginger are known as the gingerols, which are also the most aromatic compounds in this root. Ginger also contains shogaols, which are formed during the drying process. These substances are thought to detoxify gastric substances that could lead to nausea. Ginger is also thought to increase the tone and movement of the intestines, and to promote heart health. Furthermore, ginger may inhibit substances that could cause the pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis.
These statements about Ginger (Zingiber officinale) have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. Ginger is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
