Why sugar is the #1 criterion
Ginger is consumed for its anti-inflammatory properties (inhibition of COX-2 and NF-κB). Sugar activates NF-κB, the same inflammatory mechanism that ginger combats. A ginger shot with 34g of sugar per 100ml contains 3.2 times more sugar than Coca-Cola (10.6g/100ml).
The triple formula: why 3 ingredients
Ginger alone inhibits COX-2 and NF-κB. Turmeric adds inhibition of the LOX pathway. Black pepper (piperine) multiplies turmeric absorption by 20 (Shoba et al., 1998). The combination of the three covers all major inflammatory pathways.
