Native to Southern Asia, many ancient medical texts make abundant references to ginger root (Zingiber officinale) for its digestion and natural cleansing properties. And while its use dates back centuries, today’s society has found a wealth of applications for this pungent herb, both in the kitchen and in the body. Most notably, Ginger may be helpful in supporting digestive function, promoting healthy stress response and reducing pain-causing prostaglandins. NOW® Standardized Ginger Capsules contain 5% gingerols per Vcap, and offer an excellent way to promote and support digestive health.
