What the studies say

Study Measured effect Result
Wu et al. (2008) Gastric emptying +25% faster vs placebo
Hu et al. (2011) Gastric contractions +27% amplitude of antral contractions
Nikkhah Bodagh (2019) — review Functional dyspepsia Significant reduction in symptoms

The 4 digestive mechanisms of ginger

1. Gastric prokinetics

Ginger stimulates antral contractions → food passes more quickly from the stomach to the duodenum → less bloating, less reflux.

2. Anti-nausea (5-HT3)

6-gingerol blocks serotonergic 5-HT3 receptors in the GI tract → strong anti-emetic signal. Same mechanism as ondansetron (anti-nausea drug).

3. Natural carminative

Ginger relaxes the lower esophageal sphincter in a controlled manner → evacuation of trapped gases → relief of bloating.

4. Stimulation of digestive enzymes

Ginger stimulates the production of lipase, amylase and protease → better degradation of macronutrients → optimized absorption.

When to drink INTI for digestion

  • 15-20 min before meal : prepares the stomach, stimulates enzymes
  • After a heavy meal : accelerates emptying, reduces bloating
  • In case of nausea : effect in 15-20 minutes via 5-HT3
