Ginger shots are popular among people who want to support their health with natural remedies. A lot is said about the effects of ginger on the body. But what's really true? We investigated the most common claims and their scientific basis
Does a ginger shot boost your immune system?
Ginger contains compounds like gingerol, which are attributed with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. This review article in the International Journal of Preventive Medicine (2013) discusses ginger as a potential anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory herb.
However, this is mainly based on animal and laboratory studies. Whether a ginger shot – usually 30 to 50 ml – contains enough active compounds to actually boost the immune system has not been demonstrated in human clinical trials.
Does a ginger shot provide caffeine-free energy?
Some people experience an energy boost after a ginger shot. This could be because ginger may affect blood flow. A study published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine showed that ginger can have a vasodilatory effect, which stimulates blood circulation (Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2018).
However, there is no direct evidence that ginger provides a long-lasting energy boost or has the same effects as caffeine.
Does a ginger shot affect your digestion?
Ginger has been used for centuries in various cultures as part of meals. Many people drink ginger tea or eat fresh ginger because they feel it supports their digestion. This idea primarily stems from traditional applications and personal experiences.
Whether a ginger shot truly affects digestion likely depends on how often and how much you consume. Scientific studies have been conducted on ginger and digestion, but often with supplements or concentrated forms, not with shots. If you want to know what it does for you, trying it yourself is the most direct way to find out.
What does ginger do for inflammation?
Ginger contains substances that receive a lot of attention from researchers, especially because they target inflammatory processes in the body. Ginger has been studied in laboratories and for certain conditions in this regard. The focus here is primarily on the substance gingerol.
What this means for people who drink a ginger shot daily is not yet clear. The amount of active substances in such a shot is relatively limited. Those curious about the possible effect on inflammation can try it themselves for a while and pay attention to changes, although this varies per person.
Does a ginger shot affect fat burning?
It is often said that ginger can affect metabolism or even support fat burning. This idea mainly comes from studies conducted on animals or with high doses of ginger extract.
Whether a daily ginger shot affects your metabolism or fat burning cannot be said with certainty. What is certain: a healthy lifestyle always revolves around the overall picture of nutrition, exercise, and sleep. Ginger shots can be a small part of that, but are not a decisive factor in themselves.
Does a ginger shot work against nausea?
This is the claim with the most evidence. Ginger effectively reduces nausea in pregnancy sickness, motion sickness, and after surgery. A systematic review in Nutrition Journal shows that ginger significantly helps reduce nausea and vomiting in pregnant women (Nutrition Journal, 2014).
The dosages used in studies vary, but a concentrated ginger shot can certainly provide support here.
