Ginger for digestion: bloating, heartburn, and irritable bowel syndrome (2026)

Ginger-organico-sin-azucar-comprar-online-espana">Ginger for Digestion: Clinical Evidence

Digestive problems affect more than 40% of the population. And ginger is one of the natural remedies most validated by science.

Four mechanisms

1. Speeds up gastric emptying

Ginger speeds up gastric emptying by 25-50% (European Journal of Gastroenterology, 2008). This reduces postprandial bloating.

2. Stimulates digestive enzymes

Ginger increases the production of bile, lipase, and proteinase — enzymes that break down fats and proteins.

3. Reduces intestinal inflammation

Gingerols selectively inhibit COX-2 and LOX in the gastrointestinal tract. Especially relevant for IBS.

4. Antispasmodic effect

Ginger relaxes the smooth muscle of the digestive tract, reducing cramps and spasms.

Clinical Evidence

  • Bloating: 1.2g of ginger before meals reduced bloating by 50%
  • Functional dyspepsia: significant acceleration of gastric emptying vs placebo
  • IBS: 26% reduction in symptoms after 4 weeks

Dosage

  • Maintenance: 1-2g/day (1 INTI shot)
  • Before heavy meals: 1.2g 20 minutes before
  • For IBS: 150-500mg 3x/day for at least 4 weeks

An organic INTI ginger shot with turmeric and black pepper is the most practical way to get your daily dose. Shipping throughout Spain.
