Ginger is beneficial in many medical conditions. But if you consume too little of ginger, you get no benefit. If you have too much of it, you will face side effects.

Most of the useful effects of ginger were found with two to four grams of fresh ginger a day. So take four grams of fresh-cut, chopped, grated or minced ginger daily. That is equal to a teaspoon of grated ginger.

If that is too much ginger to have through food, you can take 1 g of dried ginger powder daily.

Some people do not like the taste of ginger powder, which is quite strong. Such people can take tablets or capsules that taken together contain 1 g of dried ginger powder a day.

Based on the ginger source, harvesting time, and the extraction process, its potency changes. So ginger powder will have varying potency, which is not acceptable in pill labeling.

So neutraceutical companies use a standardised ginger extract, instead of the dried powder. Standardised means the extract has a known potency.

The active ingredients in ginger are compounds called gingerols, which are about 0.6% by weight in fresh ginger. So by taking 4 g of fresh ginger, you are looking at taking 24-25 mg of gingerols a day.

In 1 g of dried powder, you can expect about 25 mg of gingerols, which means by weight, 2.5% gingerols. But due to natural variations in the ginger source, this number could be anywhere from 1.5% to 3%. So when a neutraceutical company prepares ginger extract, it ensures that the extract powder has exactly 2.5% gingerols. So 1 g of such extract will have 25 mg of gingerols.

Such an extract is said to be ‘standardised to 2.5% gingerol’. So you should have 1 g of such extract daily.

You can also make ginger tea. Grate one teaspoon of ginger, about 4 g. Put it in a cupful of water and boil the mix for 10 to 20 min. Filter out the residue and the hot liquid is ginger tea. You can add lemon for flavouring. You can also add honey for sweetening.

You can cool this tea and store in the fridge. It is then called ginger water.

Ginger is tolerated very well in typical quantities that we consume as food. At doses higher than 4 g of fresh ginger or equivalent a day, side effects may include acidity or heartburn, stomach discomfort, or diarrhoea. Ginger may increase the risk of bleeding in some people, if taken in high doses. So if you are taking blood-thinning or blood-pressure lowering medicines, talk to your doctor first before taking more than 2 g of fresh ginger or equivalent a day.

Pregnant women are advised not to exceed 1 g of fresh ginger a day. But, none of the clinical trials to verify that have shown any harm so far. However, there is a concern that ginger may increase the risk of menstrual bleeding. So avoid taking it closer to the delivery date.

If you have a surgery scheduled, stop excess ginger consumption two weeks before the date.Don’t take all the ginger at the same time because it is quite strong.

Divide it over 2-4 doses through the day adding to the same amount.
