A clinical study found that a Thai ginger (Alpinia galanga) extract marketed as enXtra by OmniActive Health Technologies supported sustained mental energy and fatigue reduction, in a four-arm randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study which evaluated a 300 mg standalone dose of enXtra, and enXtra in combination with 200 mg of caffeine, over a placebo and a standalone caffeine supplement.

There was an acute single-dose crossover design phase involving 128 participants and a 28-day sub-acute parallel design with 127 participants. The trial enrolled healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 40 who habitually consumed caffeine.

EnXtra demonstrated significant improvements in measures of alertness compared to placebo, and the combination of enXtra and caffeine showed the strongest benefit, supporting its role in providing sustained alertness while helping avoid crashes associated with standalone caffeine use. The supplement also showed improvements in fatigue reduction, with longer-lasting effects observed when combined with caffeine.

“These findings reinforce enXtra’s role as a clinically supported solution for today’s individuals interested in energy and cognitive performance,” said Deep Shikha, assistant director of category management for OmniActive. “Consumers are looking for options that help them feel alert, focused, and energized without the drawbacks often associated with caffeine alone. This study further supports enXtra as a differentiated ingredient that can be used alone or alongside caffeine to deliver sustained mental energy and fatigue support.”
