What Ginger Is Used For

• Nausea in Pregnancy – Research shows ginger may help with nausea and vomiting linked to pregnancy.^[1]
• Motion Sickness – Most studies of ginger for motion sickness have not shown a benefit.^[1]
• Menstrual Cramps – Research suggests ginger supplements might reduce the severity of menstrual cramps.^[1]
• Knee Osteoarthritis – Ginger supplements might help symptoms of knee osteoarthritis, but much of the research is of poor quality.^[1]

---

Powder, Capsules and Extract

• Ground Ginger – Ground ginger root is a spice for smoothies, baking, tea and savory dishes. It is sold by the pound, which suits cooking more than a daily dose.
• Capsules – Capsules give a set amount of ginger per serving and avoid the sharp taste of the powder.
• Extract Capsules – Extract capsules use a concentrated form of the root. The Pure Synergy capsules are made from organic ginger extracted with water and supercritical CO2.
• Food Amounts – Studies of ginger mostly tested dietary supplements rather than foods, so a teaspoon of spice in a recipe is not the same as a studied dose.^[1]

---

What to Check on a Ginger Label

• Organic Seal – Look for the USDA Organic seal if you want a certified organic product.^[3]
• Ingredient List – A pure ginger powder has one ingredient, ground ginger root. Capsules add a shell, so check that it is vegan if that matters to you.
• Serving Size – Note the amount of ginger per capsule and the number of capsules in each serving before you compare prices.
• Size and Price – Divide the price by the number of servings, or by the ounces for powders, to compare fairly.
• Rules for Supplements – The FDA does not approve supplements before they are sold, and makers are responsible for the safety and labeling of their own products.^[2]

What the Research Says

NCCIH says there have been many studies of ginger in people, but some of them were not high quality. Research shows ginger may help with nausea and vomiting in pregnancy, while it is uncertain whether it helps with chemotherapy or after-surgery nausea.^[1]
