Ginger Smoothie Booster
Brand: Organic Traditions
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
This supplement delivers potent bioactive compounds, primarily gingerols and shogaols, via organic Ginger (Zingiber officinale) Hydroethanolic extract and Organic Ginger (Zingiber officinale) CO2 extract. At a cellular level, these compounds interact with transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, modulating pain and inflammation pathways. They also inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF-alpha and COX-2 enzymes. The supercritical CO2 extraction (25:1 ratio) preserves volatile oils, while the hydroethanolic extract (6:1 ratio) ensures high concentrations of non-volatile pungent compounds, maximizing bioavailability for systemic support.
