Ginger, what the science says

Ginger is known for its bite. But behind the heat lies a root that has been studied for decades. At GingerMood, it's the heart of every bottle — so we set out to separate fact from legend.

Gingerol, the star molecule

Most of ginger's effects come down to gingerol, its main active compound. It's what gives the heat, and it's what science points to for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Digestion

Ginger is recognized for supporting digestion: it stimulates gastric motility — the speed at which the stomach empties — and helps ease bloating and discomfort. One of its best-documented traditional uses.

Nausea

This may be its strongest asset. Ginger has a long history as a remedy for nausea — motion sickness, pregnancy, the effects of treatments — and research finds it safe and well tolerated.

Inflammation

Gingerols and shogaols have shown anti-inflammatory effects in the lab, curbing certain inflammation mediators. A promising area, still under study.
