Ginger extract concentrates the active compounds of ginger root, mainly gingerols and shogaols. It helps ease digestive upset, including nausea from motion sickness, pregnancy (get your doctor's approval first), and general stomach discomfort. Many people also use it for joint comfort and to support a healthy inflammatory response. Taking it with food improves tolerance and absorption.
If you take blood thinning medications or have surgery scheduled, talk to your doctor before using ginger extract.
