Ginger and immunity: the mechanisms
| immune cell | Action of ginger | Result | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Macrophages | Activation of phagocytosis | Better pathogen elimination | Tripathi et al., 2008 |
| NK cells | Increased cytotoxic activity | Best anti-viral defense | Bui et al., 2020 |
| T lymphocytes | Th1/Th2 modulation | Balanced immune response | Bernard et al., 2015 |
| Neutrophils | Protection of the oxidative burst | Reinforced first line of defense | Dugasani et al., 2010 |
Curcumin: powerful immunomodulator
Jagetia & Aggarwal (Clinical Immunology, 2007) published a comprehensive review showing that curcumin positively modulates T cells, B cells, macrophages, dendritic cells and NK cells. It strengthens immunity without causing an autoimmune response — a crucial advantage compared to non-specific immunostimulants.
Sugar: immediate immunosuppressant
Sanchez et al. (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1973) showed that 100 g of sugar reduces neutrophil phagocytosis by 50% for 5 hours. With a shot containing 34g of sugar/100ml, you remove your first line of defense for half a day.
| Product | Sugar/100ml | Neutrophil impact | Net immunity impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| INTI | 1.19g | Negligible | ✅ Net immunostimulant |
| Gimber | 34g | ~50% removal 5 hours | ❌ Net immunosuppressant |
| Orange juice | 8.4g | Moderate | ⚠️ Vitamin C vs sugar |
FAQs
Does ginger really strengthen the immune system?
Yes. It activates macrophages, increases the activity of NK cells and modulates the Th1/Th2 balance. Combined with turmeric, the immunomodulatory effect is synergistic.
Why does sugar weaken immunity?
Sanchez et al. (1973) showed that sugar reduces neutrophil phagocytosis by 50% for 5 hours. Your front-line immune cells become half as effective.
