Ginger Rescue Provides Nausea Relief and Digestive Support
The Ginger People, Marina, CA, have developed Ginger Rescue, a drug-free nausea relief and digestive support product powered by active ginger compounds. The chewable tablet comes in two strengths: Strong for adults and Mighty Mango for kids.
The company said that more than a third of adults and children suffer from motion sickness and over half of pregnant women reportedly endure morning sickness. Additionally, U.S. consumers spend over $20 billion annually to treat non-chronic stomach ailments.
Ginger has been used for centuries to treat upset stomachs. However, not all ginger is created equal, the company said. Research shows a number of active compounds in ginger are responsible for its potent effect on nausea and digestive distress. The amount of these helpful compounds varies, depending on ginger variety, origin, harvest and processing methods. The Ginger People conducted research on the actives levels in different ginger formats and existing products in the market. From the certified lab results, its innovation team created a Ginger Actives Scale to give consumers clear information for making an informed decision when selecting the remedy with the greatest ginger actives.
“For people who love traveling, exercise and keeping up with a busy life, good digestive health is everything. We were getting a lot of feedback from our consumers who wanted a drug-free digestive aid and nausea remedy that worked,” said Abbie Leeson, owner and executive vice president of The Ginger People. “So, we answered the call by deepening our research and developing a ginger solution.”
