Ginger Side Effects: Contraindications and Precautions

Ginger is very safe at dietary doses — but like any potent active, it has limits. Here's the honest, complete list of possible side effects and contraindications.

⚠️ Possible Side Effects (high doses)

• Heartburn / reflux: beyond ~4-5 g/day or on an empty sensitive stomach — dilute your shot in water
• Blood-thinning effect: at high doses, ginger thins the blood
• Mild diarrhea: in excess, a transit-accelerating effect
• Burning mouth: normal — that's the gingerol kick, not an adverse effect

🚫 Contraindications: Seek Medical Advice If…

• Blood thinners (warfarin, etc.): possible additive effect — medical advice
• Before surgery: stop ginger ~1 week before (bleeding)
• Gallstones: ginger stimulates bile — medical advice
• Pregnancy: OK for nausea up to ~1 g/day, with medical advice
• Glucose-lowering or blood-pressure medication: ginger may amplify the effect

At one shot a day (the clinical-study range), ginger is very well tolerated by the vast majority. Transparency is one of our values: an effective natural product deserves the same usage precautions as any serious active. INTI organic, no added sugar.
