Introduction
Ginger has been used as both food and medicine for at least 5,000 years across Asian and Mediterranean cultures. The rhizome is among the most globally-traded culinary spices and one of the most-studied traditional medicinal botanicals.
Industrial production proceeds by ethanol or supercritical-CO2 extraction of dried Ginger rhizomes, followed by purification and standardization to defined gingerol content. Fresh ginger contains principally 6-gingerol; drying converts a portion to 6-shogaol, which is more pungent and chemically reactive.
Recognized as a permitted food ingredient by the U.S. FDA (GRAS), the European Food Safety Authority, and equivalent regulators worldwide. Listed in major pharmacopoeias including the European Pharmacopoeia and the Chinese Pharmacopoeia.
Clinical evidence for Ginger supplementation is among the strongest for any botanical, with robust evidence supporting use in chemotherapy-induced nausea, pregnancy nausea, motion sickness, and post-operative nausea. Anti-inflammatory and pain-management applications are supported by a growing clinical literature.
Strategic positioning combines digestive-support dietary supplements (the dominant supplement application), traditional medicine product formulations (the Asian market application), and functional food and beverage flavor applications (the largest volume application globally).
