GingerT3® Fermented Ginger (Zingiber officinale) Rhizome Extract

GingerT3® is an organic fermented ginger extract. Ginger is the common name for the whole or cut rhizome—the underground stem or vertical portion of the root—of the plant Zingiber officinale. Ginger has a long history of use as a food spice—it is one of the most widely used spices in the world. It also has a long history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Ayurveda, and other ancient healing customs. Ginger can be used alone, but is very commonly a part of poly-ingredient herbal combinations. In Ayurveda, as an example, the combination of ginger, black pepper, and long pepper, called Trikatu (“three pungent spices”), is frequently used together and also added to many other herb mixes. Modern science has discovered that ginger is a bioenhancer, positively influencing the bioavailability of some other compounds, which may partly explain why it’s often been combined with other herbs. Ginger contains many bioactive compounds, including several phenolic and terpene compounds. Gingerols, the compounds primarily responsible for the pungency of ginger root, are one of its main bioactive compounds. These pungent principles give ginger its characteristic flavor and spiciness; they also confer a number of health benefits. Ginger was used for a large number of health purposes historically. Modern science continues to investigate ginger in a wide range of areas, including brain, gastrointestinal, metabolic, musculoskeletal, and vision health. GingerT3® is produced by extracting and concentrating key compounds found in the ginger oleoresin and by fermenting the non-oleoresin portions of the ginger rhizome. This allows it to have high concentrations of gingerols, shogaols, paradols, gingerdiones and terpenes, which deliver a full spectrum of ginger’s health-supporting compounds.*

GINGERT3® FERMENTED GINGER RHIZOME EXTRACT FORMULATING PRINCIPLES AND RATIONALE

In human studies, the amount of ginger used varies depending on whether it is a ground up powder from the rhizomes (higher amounts are supplemented) or a concentrated extract (lower amounts are supplemented). Because GingerT3® is a very concentrated extract, its recommended serving size is 75-125 mg. We supplement an amount of GingerT3® within this recommended range.*
