How it works

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) contains bioactive compounds including gingerols and shogaols that inhibit prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, providing anti-inflammatory effects. It also has antiemetic properties potentially mediated through 5-HT3 receptor antagonism and modulation of digestive motility.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep container tightly closed.
