The Claim

Fraction F6 of red ginger rhizome extract contains 194.99 ± 1.43 mg/g of 6-gingerol, along with zingerone, 6-paradol, and 6-shogaol, compounds that have been previously associated with anti-inflammatory effects in other studies.

Description
1 study reviewed
In plain English

Fraction F6 from red ginger root contains 194.99 ± 1.43 milligrams per gram of 6-gingerol, as well as zingerone, 6-paradol, and 6-shogaol. These compounds have been linked to anti-inflammatory effects in prior research.

See the scientific wording

Fraction F6 of red ginger rhizome extract contains 194.99 ± 1.43 mg/g of 6-gingerol, along with zingerone, 6-paradol, and 6-shogaol, compounds previously associated with anti-inflammatory effects in other studies.

Why this might work

Chemicals in red ginger block an enzyme that makes inflammatory fats, which stops the production of signaling molecules that trigger swelling and immune cell activation, leading to less tissue inflammation.

  1. Study: Bioactive substances from Red ginger rhizome (Zingiber officinale Roscoe var. sunti Val) as Anti-atherosclerotic agent: Inhibition of Lipoxygenase in arachidonic acid metabolism

    The study found that the strongest part of red ginger contains lots of natural chemicals known to reduce swelling and inflammation, and it proved those chemicals actually work in cells to calm inflammation.
