Not surprisingly its great for the gut and digestion. Since the bodys health begins in the gut, if your guts are inflamed, and you suffer from conditions that cause gut inflammation too, it will help that.

The article mentions clotting. How would ginger work if you’re on a blood thinner? Sometimes I take it off my stomach is a little off.

This limited “study” used 20mg gingerol per day. According to chatGPT, ginger is 1% to 3% gingerol. Therefore, I’m ingesting 2.5mg to 30mg gingerol per day. (250 to 1000 mg ginger) Ginger had other beneficial compounds, but I don’t like it’s taste.

Ginger contains several beneficial compounds, including:

Gingerol: Gingerol is the primary bioactive compound in ginger. It has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and contributes to the spicy flavor of ginger. It may have various health benefits, including reducing nausea, alleviating muscle pain, and potentially lowering the risk of chronic diseases.

Shogaol: Shogaol is a related compound to gingerol and forms when ginger is dried or cooked. It also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Zingerone: Zingerone is another phenolic compound in ginger that contributes to its flavor and has antioxidant properties.

Gingerdiol: This compound is formed when gingerol is dehydrated and can have potential health benefits.

Ginger Essential Oil: Ginger essential oil contains various volatile compounds that contribute to ginger's aroma and flavor. It's sometimes used in aromatherapy and may have anti-nausea and digestive benefits.

Ginger Polysaccharides: These are carbohydrates found in ginger that may have immune-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties.

Vitamin C and Minerals: Ginger also contains small amounts of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, potassium, and magnesium.

These compounds collectively give ginger its unique flavor and aroma and contribute to its potential health-promoting properties, such as aiding digestion, reducing inflammation, and helping with nausea. However, the exact composition of these compounds can vary depending on the ginger variety and how it's prepared or processed.

I use a mixture of sliced ginger, honey and water, heat it to a drinkable temp. I do this when I get that tickle in the back of the throat. After a few hours it is gone. Do like the taste. Wife uses a lot of fresh ginger in her cooking.

I keep small slices of ginger root, organic if possible, wrapped in plastic and in a ziploc bag in the freezer. For me it’s a first go-to remedy for anything stomach.
More so if my stomach feels queasy.

Maybe there is a better way of storing. I don’t have to use it very often.

I have have that throat tickle, also cough that produces some mucus.
Hot breakfast coffee helps while drinking.
I’ve had to buy cough drops and box of tissues to use instantly in the grocvery store. So embarrassing.

I may now..
Adding ginger, honey and water to a daily drink sounds like a good thing for my immune system right now.

Sooo...using fresh ginger is best? I am trying to figure out how much fresh ginger a day would be therapeutic...

Here is an interesting video on ginger supplements by Consumer Labs. Seems the chews probably are not best way to get ginger. Anyone a member, here?

I am.

Mountain Rose Herbs Ginger Root and Walmart’s Spring Valley Ginger Root were Top Picks.

Chews don’t typically list values of anything.
