Ginger: A root with science and power in your capsule

At Ksumai, we choose ingredients that nature offers us… but always with scientific backing. We’ll tell you why ginger, present in our Baobab Complex and Moringa Complex formulas, is much more than a spicy root: it’s a true ally for your digestive, hormonal, and immune well-being.

What makes ginger so special?
Zingiber officinale, better known as ginger, has been used for millennia in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine to treat everything from digestive problems to chronic inflammation.

Its power comes primarily from active compounds such as gingerols and shogaols, which have proven effects on various physiological processes.

1. Natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant
One of the most studied benefits of ginger is its ability to reduce chronic inflammation, which can be behind digestive discomfort, persistent fatigue, joint pain, or hormonal imbalances.

A study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food showed that ginger extracts have anti-inflammatory effects comparable to some pharmaceutical drugs, but without significant side effects.

2. Improves digestion and regulates blood sugar
Ginger also helps stimulate digestive juices, improve gastric emptying, and relieve the feeling of fullness after meals. It also contributes to metabolic balance.

A clinical review showed that ginger can lower blood glucose levels and improve insulin sensitivity in people with impaired metabolism.

Why did we include it in Baobab and Moringa Complex?
In our formulas, ginger doesn’t work alone. It works in synergy with superfoods such as baobab, rich in prebiotic fiber and vitamin C, or moringa, an adaptogenic plant that helps regulate the body’s hormonal and energy response.

In Baobab Complex, ginger helps calm the digestive system, stimulate metabolism, and support intestinal health.

In Moringa Complex, it strengthens the immune system and improves the absorption of key nutrients that combat physical and mental fatigue.

In short, ginger doesn’t just add flavor: it balances, protects, and revitalizes. We chose it because it works, and because your body recognizes it as a natural ally.
