Ginger and Digestion: What Science Says

Ginger has been used for millennia for digestive issues. Modern science confirms these benefits.

Against Nausea

Ginger is one of the best-documented natural anti-nausea remedies. Proven effective for pregnancy nausea (Viljoen et al., 2014), motion sickness, and post-operative nausea.

Against Bloating

Ginger stimulates gastric motility—the speed at which the stomach empties. Faster gastric emptying = less bloating and discomfort after meals.

Against Reflux

Unlike antacids, ginger does not suppress stomach acid. It improves esophageal motility and strengthens the lower esophageal sphincter, reducing reflux episodes.

The Role of Turmeric

Turmeric complements ginger's digestive action by stimulating bile production (necessary for fat digestion) and reducing intestinal inflammation.

Beware of Sugar

Sugar ferments in the intestine, producing gas and worsening bloating. Consuming ginger with 34g of sugar/100ml is counterproductive for digestion. Choose a shot with no added sugar.
