Ginger is an herbaceous plant of Asian origin with countless beneficial properties for our health.
It belongs to the same family of plants as turmeric, and its uses in health even back to the 9th century with the oriental medicine.
Scientific research agrees on its benefits, especially regarding the alleviation of nausea. Today, we want to analyze those fewer known potentialities of this ingredient.
Ginger relieves pain: according to a study conducted on young women, its consumption has significantly alleviated menstrual pain. Furthermore, research has shown how it can be useful in the case of dental and post-surgery pain, as shown by clinical trials.
Ginger improves brain health: its consumption improves both attention and cognitive processing capacity. Specifically, a group of people were tested to reaction timing, attention span and memory for over two months, finding improvement in all three areas. This follow-up has been correlated to its ability to increase the levels of norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin.
Ginger reduces the inflammatory state: scientific research has positively tested ginger in patients who suffered from chronic and joint pain for 90 days. At the end of the period, those taking a ginger supplement had lower levels of inflammatory markers in their blood.
Ginger contributes to lower cholesterol levels: according to the research conducted on hyperlipidemic patients of both sexes and aged between 18 and 70 years, its supplementation would significantly reduce LDL values . The study concluded by arguing that the active ingredients of ginger can significantly lower plasma lipids, also preventing the development of coronary heart disease in hyperlipidemic patients.
Unfortunately, the oral use of ginger powder is poorly tolerated both for its pungent and strong taste, and for the burning it can cause to the mucous membranes of the oral cavity: for this reason, IPS, through its Suractives® division, has developed a formulation using the patented MATRIS® technology capable of completely masking its smell and taste.
Thanks to its characteristic particle size, MATRIS® allows a rapid diffusion of the nutraceutical active ingredients, while reaching much higher concentrations than other proposals today on the market.
MATRIS® also allows you to increase the absolute and relative stability of the ingredient, allowing the creation of complex formulations that are often incompatible in the absence of adequate protection.
IPS manufactures this product supplied in bulk which can be used in various dosage forms such as tablets, single-dose bottles with measuring caps, single-dose sachets (both aqueous and oral- dispersible) and high-dose capsules.
