Ginger Extract is an extract of the rhizome of the perennial plant Zingiber officinale with potential antineoplastic activity. 
Ginger extract contains a number of different phenolic compounds, some of which have displayed antineoplastic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities. 

Ginger Extract also exhibits antiemetic properties.
Ginger extract is a substance derived from the ginger plant that can help increase the metabolic rate and inhibit the absorption of dietary fat by the intestines.

Ginger extract (10 mg/kg) intraperitoneally had a dose-dependent anti-microbial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhimurium, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans.
Yin and Cheng (1998) showed that ginger had no significant action against some fungi (Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus) in vitro. 

However, Ficker et al. found that, out of 29 plant extracts, ginger extract had the broadest range of anti-fungal activity measured either by the fungi inhibited or as the average diameter of the zones of inhibition. 
The ginger extract was the only one that was active against Rhizopus sp., an organism that was not inhibited by any of the other plant extracts tested or by the anti-fungal agent ketoconazole or berberine. 

Using bioassay-guided isolation and identification of anti-fungal compounds from ginger, the same authors reported that, and -gingerols and gingerdiol are the main anti-fungal principles. 
The compounds were active against 13 human pathogens at concentrations of <1 mg/ml. 

The gingerol content of the African land race was at least three times higher than that of typical commercial cultivars of ginger. 
Therefore, these authors suggested that ginger extracts standardized on the basis of the identified compounds could be considered as anti-fungal agents for practical therapy.

Ginger Extract is recommended to consume 1 capsule 3 times a day.

*Relieving nausea
A 2020 review indicates that Ginger Extract can help alleviate morning sickness and relieve nausea following cancer treatment.
A 2016 review suggests that the odor-producing principles gingerols and shogaols are effective in preventing nausea and vomiting. 

However, the amounts of those compounds can vary, depending on the form of Ginger Extract. 
The researchers determined that dried Ginger Extract, followed by fresh ginger and powdered ginger tea had the highest concentrations of gingerol.
One study that the review analyzed included 576 adult cancer patients. 

The scientists found that doses of 0.5 grams (g) and 1.0 g were most effective at reducing nausea.
They also called for further studies in humans, in order to fully understand the effects of Ginger Extract on nausea and other gastrointestinal issues.
Here, learn which foods can help relieve nausea.

*Supporting the immune system
Many people use Ginger Extract to help recover from a cold or the flu. 
However, the evidence supporting this use is mostly anecdotal.

In an older study from 2013, researchers investigated the effects of fresh and dried Ginger Extract on one respiratory virus in human cells. 
The results suggest that fresh Ginger Extract may help protect the respiratory system, while dried Ginger Extract did not have the same impact.
A large cross-sectional study from 2017 suggested that daily Ginger Extract consumption may support the immune system. 

This may protect against chronic disease and support recovery from other illnesses, such as the common cold or flu.
A small 2019 study on the effects of Ginger Extract on smokers and nonsmokers found that daily consumption of Ginger Extract was associated with a stronger antibody response in nonsmokers.

However, confirming Ginger Extract’s effects on the immune system will require further research.

The authors concluded that Ginger Extract may have potential as a preventive therapy.

Determining whether Ginger Extract may support treatment for those with cardiovascular disease will require further research.
Meanwhile, a small 2016 study found that Ginger Extract helped reduce the occurrence of heart abnormalities in rats with diabetes. 
The authors noted that this reduction may stem, in part, from the antioxidant properties of Ginger Extract.

*Lowering cancer risk
Ginger Extract does not provide protein or other nutrients, but it is an excellent source of antioxidants. 
Research has shown that, for this reason, Ginger Extract can reduce various types of oxidative stress.
