Why ginger

Why there's ginger in every capsule

Every Ginger+ formula pairs your prescribed medicine with 200mg of ginger root extract in a single capsule. Here is the thinking behind that choice: a root people have reached for over generations, measured and tested, and chosen by a doctor as an ingredient.

The thinking

A root people have trusted for generations

Ginger root has a long history of traditional use for the stomach and everyday digestive comfort, across kitchens and cultures, long before it reached a capsule. We did not invent that history. We measured it.

Every Ginger+ capsule carries 200mg of ginger root extract, the same amount each time, sitting alongside the medicine your doctor prescribes. One capsule, made on purpose.

Why ginger and your medicine, together

Ginger here is a companion to your prescribed medicine, not a replacement for it. Three reasons it rides in the same capsule.

1

One capsule, not two

Your prescription-strength medicine and 200mg of ginger root extract are made together, so there is no separate ginger supplement to buy, time, or remember.

2

A familiar companion

Ginger is well tolerated by most people and has a long history of traditional use for the stomach, which makes it a natural companion to pair with daily medicine.

3

Chosen by a doctor

A doctor designed the pairing and reviews every intake. Ginger is selected as an ingredient, and your medicine is prescribed only if it is right for you.

Quality

Not just any ginger

The ginger in Ginger+ is a measured ginger root extract, 200mg per capsule. It is third-party tested, and the ginger ingredient is produced in an NSF-certified cGMP facility, so the amount in each capsule stays consistent.

From the founder

Why a doctor chose ginger

"I did not add ginger for the label. I added it because it is one of the better tolerated botanicals for the stomach, with a long record of traditional use. I read the literature, chose the ingredient, and built it into every formula a patient might take daily."

Ryan Natale, MD, founder

The research behind the ingredient

When patients ask why ginger, this is the review Dr. Natale points them to: a broad look at ginger's beneficial compounds and how they have been studied. It informed the choice of ginger as an ingredient. It is not a claim about what any Ginger+ formula will do for you.

Why does The Gastronomy Project put ginger in every capsule?

Ginger root has a long history of traditional use for the stomach and everyday digestive comfort. We pair 200mg of ginger root extract with your prescribed medicine in a single capsule, as a well-tolerated companion chosen by a doctor. It is not a replacement for your medicine.

200mg of ginger root extract in every Ginger+ capsule, the same measured amount each time.

What kind of ginger do you use?

A measured ginger root extract. It is third-party tested, and the ginger ingredient is produced in an NSF-certified cGMP facility, so the amount in each capsule stays consistent.

Does ginger replace my medication?

No. The prescription in each formula is the medicine. Ginger root extract is a companion that rides alongside it. A doctor reviews everything you take before anything is prescribed.

Ginger is well tolerated by most people. If you are pregnant or take other medications, talk with your doctor first. Ginger root extract has a long history of traditional use and has not been evaluated by the FDA to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Honest framing

A few honest notes about ginger

Choosing ginger as an ingredient is one doctor's reasoning. It is not a promise of results, and it does not mean a compounded medicine has been clinically proven. Every prescription is reviewed for you, on its own.

Ginger root extract is a botanical with a long history of traditional use. It has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. This page is not medical advice. Compounded medications are not reviewed by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality, and a prescription is issued only if a doctor determines it is appropriate.
