Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is one of the most studied medicinal plants in the world. With over 200 published clinical studies, its health benefits are solidly documented. Here's everything science has shown.

Ginger is the most scientifically validated natural anti-nausea remedy. It acts on 5-HT3 serotonin receptors — the same target as the drug ondansetron. A Cochrane review of 12 studies confirms its effectiveness for:

• Nausea in pregnancy: 1g/day significantly reduces morning sickness
• Motion sickness: more effective than dimenhydrinate (Lancet)
• Post-operative nausea: -38% compared to placebo

Furthermore, ginger accelerates gastric emptying by 25-50%, reducing bloating and heaviness.

2. Natural Anti-inflammatory

Gingerols in ginger selectively inhibit COX-2 and LOX — the enzymatic pathways of inflammation. Unlike ibuprofen, ginger spares COX-1, protecting the stomach. It reduces TNF-α and IL-6 by 20-40%.

3. Pain and Muscles

A meta-analysis of 16 studies (1,500+ participants) concluded that ginger reduces muscle pain with efficacy comparable to ibuprofen. 2g/day reduces post-workout muscle soreness (DOMS) by 25%.

4. Immune System

Ginger boosts immune defenses through:

• Direct antimicrobial action against bacteria and fungi
• Cytokine modulation (balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory responses)
• Antioxidant capacity among the highest of all spices

5. Blood Sugar and Diabetes

Meta-analysis of 10 studies: ginger reduces fasting blood glucose by -18.8 mg/dL and HbA1c by -0.45% with 2g/day.

6. Heart and Circulation

Meta-analysis of 12 studies: -14.1 mg/dL total cholesterol and -6.3 mg/dL LDL. Ginger also improves blood circulation thanks to its vasodilatory properties.

The Perfect Formula: Ginger + Turmeric + Black Pepper

The combination of these three ingredients creates a powerful synergistic effect. Piperine from black pepper increases curcumin absorption by 2,000%. This triple formula is exactly what you find in INTI — an organic shot of fresh ginger, turmeric, and black pepper in a concentrated 30ml dose.

Recommended Dosage

• General well-being: 1-2g/day (1 INTI shot)
• Anti-nausea: 1g/day
• Pain relief: 2-4g/day
• Blood sugar: 2g/day for at least 8 weeks
