Methodology
Systematic review of 109 randomized controlled trials of ginger supplementation across nausea, inflammation, metabolic and pain outcomes.
Key Findings
Ginger consistently improved nausea and vomiting outcomes and showed favourable effects on inflammatory markers and glycaemic indices, with generally mild adverse events at doses up to 3 g/day.
Conclusions
Ginger is broadly safe and most convincingly effective for nausea, with promising but less certain metabolic and anti-inflammatory effects.
Limitations
Broad scope with heterogeneous populations, doses and preparations; quality of included trials varied widely.
Supplements Studied
Ginger consistently improved nausea and vomiting outcomes and showed favourable effects on inflammatory markers and glycaemic indices.
