Medicinal Uses and Indications: Today, health care professionals may recommend ginger to help prevent or treat nausea and vomiting from motion sickness, pregnancy, and cancer chemotherapy. It is also used as a digestive aid for mild stomach upset, to reduce pain of osteoarthritis, and may even be used in heart disease or cancer. Motion Sickness Several studies -- but not all -- suggest that ginger may work better than placebo in reducing some symptoms of motion sickness. In one trial of 80 new sailors who were prone to motion sickness, those who took powdered ginger had less vomiting and cold sweating compared to those who took placebo. Ginger did not reduce nausea, however. Similar results were found in a study with healthy volunteers. However, other studies have found that ginger does not work as well as medications in reducing symptoms of motion sickness. In one small study, participants were given either fresh root or powdered ginger, scopolamine, a medication commonly prescribed for motion sickness, or placebo. Those who took scopolamine had fewer symptoms than those who took ginger. Conventional prescription and over-the-counter medicines that decrease nausea may also have side effects, such as dry mouth and drowsiness. Pregnancy-Related Nausea and Vomiting Human studies suggests that 1g daily of ginger may be effective for nausea and vomiting in pregnant women when used for short periods (no longer than 4 days). Several studies have found that ginger is better than placebo in relieving morning sickness. In a small study of 30 pregnant women with severe vomiting, those who took 1 gram of ginger every day for 4 days reported more relief from vomiting than those who took placebo. In a larger study of 70 pregnant women with nausea and vomiting, those who received a similar dosage of ginger felt less nauseous and did not vomit as much as those who received placebo. Pregnant women should ask their doctor before taking ginger, and should be careful not take more than 1g per day. Chemotherapy nausea A few studies suggest that ginger reduces the severity and duration of nausea -- but not vomiting -- during chemotherapy. However, one of the studies used ginger in combination with another anti-nausea drug, so it' s hard to say whether ginger had any effect. More studies are needed. Nausea and vomiting after surgery Research is mixed as to whether ginger can help reduce nausea and vomiting following surgery. Two studies found that 1g of ginger root before surgery reduced nausea as well as a leading medication. In one of these studies, women who received ginger also needed fewer medications for nausea after surgery. But other studies have found that ginger didn' t help reduce nausea. In fact, one study found that ginger may actually increase vomiting following surgery. More research is needed. Osteoarthritis Ginger extract has long been used in traditional medical practices to reduce inflammation. And there is some evidence that ginger may help reduce pain from osteoarthritis (OA). In a study of 261 people with OA of the knee, those who took a ginger extract twice daily had less pain and needed fewer pain-killing medications than those who received placebo. But another study found that ginger was no better than ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) or placebo in reducing symptoms of OA. It may take several weeks to see any effect. Other uses *A few preliminary studies suggest that ginger may lower cholesterol and help prevent blood from clotting. That can be helpful in treating heart disease, where blood vessels can become blocked and lead to heart attack or stroke. But more studies are needed to know whether ginger is safe or effective for heart disease. *Laboratory studies have also found that some substances in ginger may kill cancer cells in test tubes. More research is needed to know if ginger would have the same effect in humans. ---- Interactions: Ginger may alter the effects of some prescription and non-prescription medications. If you are currently being treated with any of the following medications, you should not use ginger without first talking to your health care provider. Blood-thinning medications -- Although ginger may interfere with blood clotting, there have been no scientific or case reports of interactions between ginger and blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin and warfarin. However, people taking medications that thin the blood should use ginger only under the supervision of a health care provider.

I absolutely love this ginger supplement! It has been a game-changer for my digestion and overall health. The capsules are easy to swallow and have no unpleasant aftertaste. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my digestion and stomach comfort since starting this supplement. The quality is exceptional, and I appreciate that it’s made from natural ginger. I highly recommend this supplement to anyone looking for a natural way to support their digestive health!

Great product.

This is not the first time I've purchased Solaray Ginger capsules. I use Solarary Ginger capsules because I can trust them; they do the proper testing on the ginger for potency, purity, contaminants, etc. I also really like that the capsule is just organic ginger and not a combination product. This way, I can tailor my dosage of each supplement to my needs and this capsule is the right dose for me and has been effective for several years now. I trust this product, I am pleased with it and I highly recommend it, too.

I take this as an aid to relieve (as-yet unconfirmed) gastroparesis symptoms and thus far it is working WONDERFULLY. I've lost over 100 pounds in less than a year and down to only eating one meal a day, and even then still experienced painful indigestion/reflux, nausea, bloating and extreme stomach discomfort with early satiety. I've gone through one full bottle of this ginger root supplement in the past month and noticed after only a couple days of taking it that - combined with smaller meals - I don't have these issues 9 times out of 10. If I "over do it" with a meal that's too big, I may have a little discomfort still but it is nowhere nearly as bad as it was prior. I'd also tried Iberogast before turning to ginger root and maybe I didn't give the Iberogast enough time (only tried it for about two weeks) but I just didn't see the miracle occur that so many users reported here on Amazon for that product. Plus, since you're supposed to take Iberogast with liquid, I always felt like I was wasting valuable stomach space filling up on the 2 oz of warm water I mixed with the Iberogast, whereas I barely have to take anything to swallow these ginger root capsules (which says a lot, since I also have a goiter that makes swallowing quite difficult normally, with or without liquid). I would recommend starting out with the quoted dosage at first and gradually increase if need be. I actually started with just one pill (half dosage) and saw a slight improvement in symptoms the first couple days of taking ginger root, so after a week I increased to 2 pills with meals. I will take 3 pills with a meal that is "heavier" (e.g. rice noodles, baked sweet potato fries, pierogis) and that solves any gastro issues I might have. I can't believe how well this works. I am up to three small meals a day while I wait for my scheduled appointment with the GI specialist to conduct the emptying tests, but in the meantime taking ginger root is bringing a smile back to my face since I can eat without anxiety and feeling like you-know-what afterwards for hours. I just wish Amazon sold this particular supplement in a larger count or multiple packs and without the add-on item stipulation, but I'm planning on stocking up anyway :) If you have (or think you have) gastroparesis, I would 100 percent suggest giving ginger root a try before Iberogast, which costs $32.00 over here on Amazon, isn't as effective as quickly as ginger root and, in my opinion, wastes valuable satiety space when it comes to your meal. I've experienced no adverse side effects from the ginger root (and I seem to be one of those people who is sensitive to darned near everything) and it is working wonders!
