• Vegan and vegetarian capsule: the capsules are 100% vegetarian and therefore suitable for vegans and vegetarians. They contain no artificial additives, colourings or preservatives.

Ginger also contains a number of bioactive compounds known for their ability to neutralise free radicals and act as antioxidants.

The main of these compounds are:

• Gingerols: These are the main bioactive compounds in ginger, responsible for its pungent flavour and many health benefits. Gingerols are powerful antioxidants that help reduce oxidative stress in the body.
• Shogaols: These compounds are formed by the dehydration of gingerols and are also powerful antioxidants. Shogaols are known to be effective anti-inflammatory agents that help fight free radicals.
• Paradoolid: Paradoolides are another group of compounds found in ginger that have antioxidant activity. They help to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
• Flavonoids: ginger contains various flavonoids known for their antioxidant properties. These compounds help neutralise free radicals and reduce oxidative stress.

Combined, these compounds help protect body cells from damage caused by free radicals, thereby supporting overall health and well-being.
