Ginger shots have gained popularity for their perceived immunity-boosting properties, but Dr. Emily Leeming from King's College London cautions against viewing them as miracle cures. Research on gingerol, the active ingredient in ginger, shows only limited and weak evidence linking it to significant inflammatory response reduction. Many studies referenced rely on concentrated extracts rather than the common fresh juices sold, leading to questions about the chemical integrity and effectiveness of these products. Leeming emphasizes the necessity for more controlled research to confirm any health claims associated with ginger shots.
Dr. Emily Leeming states that while ginger shots are popular for immunity, research on their benefits is limited and not conclusively supportive.
The evidence around gingerol extracts' effects on lowering inflammatory markers is weak, raising questions about the efficacy of ginger shots for boosting immunity.
