ZINGIBER OFFICINALE · TARGETED PROSTATE FLOW
Ginger Root
A crucial balancing agent with deep anti-inflammatory benefits. Because ginger is naturally warming, Dr. Chris explicitly included it to perfectly counter the intense “coldness” of Coptis, creating a harmonized formula that is gentle on the digestive tract. Its highly active gingerols work systematically to help manage blood sugar and lipid levels—directly addressing the complex metabolic factors that can quietly contribute to BPH and prostate tissue changes.*
What is Ginger Root?
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a flowering plant whose rhizome, or root, is used around the world as a spice and a traditional remedy, especially for digestion. Its active compounds, gingerols and shogaols, give ginger its warming bite.*
Why it's in Targeted Prostate Flow
In traditional herbal practice, strongly cooling herbs like Coptis are balanced with warming herbs so the formula stays gentle on the digestive tract. Dr. Chris included ginger to play that role. Its highly active gingerols also work to help manage blood sugar and lipid levels, addressing metabolic factors that can quietly contribute to BPH and prostate tissue changes.*
What the research shows
- Human research review (Cytokine, 2020): A meta-analysis of 16 randomized trials with 1,010 people found ginger significantly lowered the inflammation markers CRP and TNF-alpha.*
- Human research review (Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2025): A review of meta-analyses found ginger supports healthy inflammation markers and, in people with type 2 diabetes, healthy blood sugar markers.*
- Lab and animal research (Cancer Prevention Research, 2014): 6-shogaol, a compound from dried ginger, blocked the inflammatory signals NF-kB and STAT3 in prostate cells.*
Frequently asked questions
Why does a prostate formula include ginger?
It keeps the formula balanced and easy on digestion, and it supports a healthy inflammatory response.*
Is 147 mg of ginger a lot?
It is a 10:1 extract, so 147 mg is concentrated from about 1.5 g of dried ginger root.
