Hepatica Ginger is a dietary supplement that contains a highly concentrated extract of ginger rhizomes, standardized for the content of the most crucial bioactive substances – gingerols and shogaols. The product has been prepared using raw material from India.

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is an edible plant grown in a warm, humid climate. Its rhizomes are widely used in culinary art. They have a characteristic smell and a sharp, slightly burning taste. When dried, ginger is a great spice, whereas fresh serves as a vegetable. Ginger rhizomes are also a valuable medicinal raw material. They contain numerous biologically active substances, among whose the most crucial are gingerols and shogaols arising as a result of rhizome dehydration.

Ginger supports digestion and has a beneficial effect on the digestive system. It stimulates gastrointestinal motility and stimulates spontaneous stomach movements, thanks to which the digestive process is carried out properly. Besides, ginger exerts a cholagogic effect and increases the secretion of gastric juice. It also supports the liver, improving its function, and prevents fibrosis. It also has a scientifically proven anti-emetic effect and is helpful in case of motion sickness and seasickness as well as morning nausea, which often bothers pregnant women.

Ginger can be helpful in the case of joint ailments. Standardized extracts are recommended especially for people struggling with degenerative joint disease and rheumatoid arthritis. The plant has been proven to have powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic potential. As studies show, gingerols found in the rhizomes can inhibit the production of numerous inflammatory mediators and can interact with TRPV1 vanilloid receptors that are involved in nociceptive processes. The effects obtained with ginger extracts are compared to those of NSAIDs.

Ginger supports cardiovascular health. Ginger rhizomes abound in numerous antioxidants and substances that reduce LDL oxidation. Moreover, ginger extracts have anticoagulant and hypolipidemic properties. They may also lower blood pressure and regulate the strength of the atrial contractions.

To sum up, Hepatica Ginger is a preparation with high therapeutic potential. It has a beneficial effect on the digestive system, helps to reduce the risk of civilization diseases, and may relieve pain in the bones and joints.
