Ginger root

[anthrax]

It seems to be a good sup to help digestion

What is your own experience ?
and do you have any study (scientific paper not BS marketing hype from a manufacturer) ?

it works.. ask anyone that has tried it.. but there are few, if any studies, on its efficacy.. there are some on the effects of its individual consitituents.. but being as that it costs about 10$ a kilo.. though capsules run about 4$ per hundred.. that 4$ to see if it works.. 3-4 weeks worth.. no one has a vested interest in doing any clinical trials

I've been hearing alot about this and Peppermint oil too for digestion!! But I think there is a certain type that works best. Anyone have more info on the types... I think one was ecentric coated?

Many countries use ginger for digestion w/ their food and to decrease gas. I know if i don't take it i sometimes get cramps in my stomach and lots of gas. The ginger root at 1g helps a great deal. I for one really notice the difference and it's unbelievably cheap

OK, I'll try it

Would it be as efficient in powder form ?
(I can easily buy ginger root powder in chinese food shops)
