The short version
Ginger root is really a rhizome, a thick underground stem. Its zing comes from gingerols, which give ginger tea and ginger snaps their warm kick.
Where it is from
Ginger has grown in tropical Asia for thousands of years and now flavors kitchens all around the world.
What the label says
The graphic says ginger supports digestion, reduces bloating and enhances thermogenesis.* Thermogenesis means heat production, and warming spices like cayenne chili are often linked with it.
Worth knowing
In drops, ginger blends in with the other extracts, so the taste is part of the whole formula.
