Ginger: IBS Support & Other Health Benefits

You may know that many of the ingredients in our natural IBS treatment are clinically proven to provide relief from irritable bowel syndrome symptoms. But did you know that these all natural ingredients can also provide many other important health benefits in addition to just treating IBS when taken daily? 

Today we will dive deeper into: Ginger 

Ginger is one of the most beneficial naturally-occurring substances on the planet. It is stacked with healthy nutrients and bioactive compounds that can have an exceptionally positive effect when consumed. Here are some of the benefits of ginger that are supported by clinical studies.

Anti-cancer1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
There have been many studies that have proven ginger's capacity to destroy cancer cells within parts of the body, specifically in the breast, colon, lungs, ovaries, prostate, pancreas, and the skin.
   
Anti-inflammatory9,10,11,12,13
Inflammation is the body's response to injury. It works to heal wounds, but it can also play a role in some chronic diseases and ginger can be highly effective in controlling it. Neurodegenerative illnesses might be helped by ginger's capacity to repress nitrous oxide creation and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Ginger's anti-inflammatory properties might be useful in preventing cancer, easing arthritis symptoms, treating and preventing prostate disease, and other inflammation related afflictions.
   
Anti-nausea, morning sickness, motion sickness14,15,16,17,18
Ginger has long been used as a treatment for sea sickness, and there is now proof that it may be as effective as prescription medication. It can also provide relief of nausea and vomiting after surgery, and in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. A review of 12 studies that included a total of 1,278 pregnant women showed that consuming 1.1 to 1.5 grams of ginger can significantly reduce symptoms of pregnancy related morning sickness.
   
Reduces menstrual pain19
For ages, ginger has been used as a pain reliever, but it's now been proven that it's especially effective on menstrual pain. In a double blind study of 150 women who were instructed to take 1 gram of ginger powder per day for the first 3 days of their period, it was concluded that ginger was found to be as effective as both ibuprofen and mefenamic acid (a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory marketed as Ponstel).
   
Promotes brain function, Anti-Alzheimer's20,21,22,23,24
Oxidative stress and chronic inflammation are thought to be the main promoters of Alzheimer’s disease and age-related declines in cognitive function. Studies suggest that the antioxidants and bioactive compounds in ginger can hinder the inflammatory responses that occur in the brain. One study of 60 middle-aged women concluded that ginger extract improved reaction time and memory, along with other studies that have shown data that ginger can enhance brain function directly.
   
Antiviral, Antibiotic, Anti-fungal properties25,26,27,28,29
At least one study of the nasty Staphylococcus aureus (staph infection) and S. pyreus infections concludes that ginger extract may be a superior treatment than antibiotics. Ginger has also been shown to have an antibacterial and anti-viral effect on respiratory (RSV virus) and periodontal infections. Fungal infections have become some of the most difficult to battle. Luckily, ginger has been found to have anti-fungal properties, even to the stubborn drug-resistant types.
