Ginger Complex

Introduction

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) has a long history of use in promoting healthy digestion, as well as aiding in nausea and sickness from chemotherapy. It has also been shown to support healthy joints and the soft tissue healing process. Ultimate Ginger Complex® contains ginger extract and whole ginger powder to provide a full spectrum botanical with all the traditional benefits of ginger. Since botanical powders may be difficult to digest due to the cellulose fiber naturally found in plants (humans aren't able to digest cellulose), cellulase is added to the formula. Cellulase is a natural enzyme that breaks down cellulose, allowing the actives to be released in the body and result in maximum effectiveness. Standardized rosemary extract is added to provide powerful antioxidant protection. Rosemary extract is standardized to 6% carnosic acid, which has been found to be a powerful inhibitor of lipid peroxidation in microsomal and liposomal systems. Researchers have found that rosemary extract is beneficial in maintaining healthy cholesterol levels and in supporting liver health.
