Why consistency matters: the clinical timeline
One ginger shot doesn't change your health. But daily consumption over weeks to months produces measurable, documented changes. Here's what the clinical studies show about timing.
The benefit timeline

Why occasional use fails
Taking a ginger shot once or twice provides:
- ✅ Immediate prokinetic effect
- ✅ Temporary anti-nausea
- ❌ No CRP reduction
- ❌ No weight loss
- ❌ No blood pressure change
- ❌ No cholesterol improvement
The high-value benefits require daily consistency over weeks.
