The Active Ingredient Is: Ginger Root

Ginger root is a classic herb used to help support digestion comfort and normal gut function. It’s often included in blends to ease digestive sensations and boost overall digestive well-being.

This extract is made from fresh or dried ginger root and it’s included for its traditional stomach-soothers in digestive formulations.

What Does Ginger Root Do?

Ginger root has shown in clinical research to exhibit anti-nausea and prokinetic effects, contributing to normal gut motility and digestive comfort in line with medical guidance. Scientific evidence suggests these actions may be relevant to how this ingredient supports digestion.

EFSA and NHS-aligned summaries show that ginger can play a role in keeping digestion normal through these mechanisms, with supporting data discussed in recent reviews by researchers like Giacosa from the University of Milan.
