Description
The standardized extract of fresh ginger rhizome (Zingiber officinale), enriched in the pungent gingerol family of phenolic compounds (primarily 6-gingerol, with lesser 8-gingerol and 10-gingerol). Used in digestive-comfort, anti-nausea, and anti-inflammatory dietary supplements.
Yellow to brownish-yellow free-flowing powder with characteristic pungent ginger aroma. Limited water solubility; freely soluble in alcohol and oils.
We supply food-grade Gingerols from manufacturers in China holding ISO, Halal, Kosher and other certifications relevant to the product and production.
Common market grades include 5 percent Gingerols (supplement grade), 10 percent Gingerols (premium standardization), 20 percent Gingerols (high-end), and 6-Gingerol 98 percent (the isolated active for pharmaceutical research). Total gingerols-plus-shogaols dual standardization is offered for nausea-positioned applications, since shogaols form during processing and contribute to bioactivity.
Bulk and reduced-MOQ shipments. Batch-level COA covering total gingerols and 6-gingerol content (HPLC), shogaol content, residual solvents, heavy metals, pesticides, and microbiology.
Introduction
Ginger has been used as both spice and medicine for over 5,000 years in Asian, Arabic, and European traditions. The pungent principles of fresh ginger are the gingerols, a family of phenolic ketones whose principal member is 6-gingerol. Drying and heating convert gingerols to shogaols, which are more pungent and pharmacologically active in certain assays, so processing history materially affects the gingerol-to-shogaol ratio in finished extracts.
Industrial production proceeds by ethanol or supercritical CO2 extraction of dried or fresh ginger rhizome, followed by chromatographic enrichment and standardization to defined gingerol content.
Recognized as a permitted food ingredient by the U.S. FDA (GRAS), the European Food Safety Authority, and equivalent regulators worldwide.
Clinical evidence for anti-nausea applications is among the strongest for any botanical, with multiple meta-analyses supporting efficacy in pregnancy-induced nausea, postoperative nausea, and chemotherapy-induced nausea at 1 to 2 grams daily of standardized ginger preparations.
Strategic positioning combines the established anti-nausea supplement category, the growing joint-support segment, and digestive-wellness applications.
