Overview
This product is a black ginger extract, made from Kaempferia parviflora, a different plant species from the common ginger root (Zingiber officinale) used in most other listings in this roundup. It's standardized to 10% 5,7-dimethoxyflavone, a marker compound used to gauge extract strength and consistency batch to batch.
It comes in a 60-capsule bottle, a shorter supply than several other ginger capsule listings that ship 90, 180 or more capsules per bottle, and it's priced higher per bottle as well.
Review volume and rating on this listing run a bit lower than some of the more established ginger capsule brands, so it's worth weighing that alongside the standardized extract angle before choosing it over a common ginger root product.
Performance notes
This is a standardized extract capsule, not whole ginger root, set to 10% 5,7-dimethoxyflavone, a marker compound tied to Kaempferia parviflora, commonly called black ginger or Thai ginger. Buyers looking for common ginger root extract should confirm this distinction before ordering.
