Lamberts Ginger is a
highly concentrated extract made from 14g of fresh ginger per
capsule.
Ginger has a long history of use particularly as an aid to digestion
since its ‘warming’ properties means it has a settling effect on the
system. More recently ginger supplements have been recommended as
part of joint care programs, alongside products such as glucosamine
and fish oil.
At Lamberts®, we use a standardised extract that has the active
ingredients of ginger concentrated down to a dark rich paste that is
dissolved into sunflower oil and supplied in capsules. Using this
method ensures that the active constituents such as the gingeroles
and zingerone are preserved. It takes over 14 grams of fresh ginger
root to produce 120mg of ginger extract, the amount found in just
one of our capsules! Each capsule provides 24mg of gingerols, which
are volatile compounds that are easily lost if ginger is cooked,
dried or crystallised. Very few supplements provide this level of
gingerols, and in fact many do not even declare a level on the
label.

Ginger may be helpful in
alleviating the symptoms of:
Digestive
Tonic
Ginger
simultaneously improves gastric motility whilst having antispasmodic
effects on muscle of the digestive tract. It can therefore be very
useful in relieving indigestion, gas, bloating and the general
symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.
Anti-nausea
Several
studies show ginger to relieve nausea, accounting for its common use
in the prevention and treatment of motion sickness and morning
sickness in pregnancy.
Circulatory
Stimulent
Research
points to an ability to enhance blood flow, while increasing body
temperature through a thermogenic effect. Compounds in ginger have a
potent inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation (sticky blood), also
suggesting a potential benefit in atherosclerosis.
Aid
to Headache sufferers
More
recently ginger has been used as an aid to headache suffers, possibly
as a result of its mild blood-thinning properties. (Undiagnosed
headaches should always be investigated by a medical professional.)
Cholesterol
Lowering
Ginger
has been shown to reduce blood and liver cholesterol levels and
increase bile secretion. This ability supports the herb's
anti-clotting properties in maintaining a healthier cardiovascular
system.

Lamberts
Lamberts
is the UK's leading supplier of food supplements to health professionals. All
Lamberts product formulations are based on an in-depth understanding of the
latest nutritional research. Their strategy is to develop only those products
that are supported by a valid scientific rationale and this has led health
professionals to rely on Lamberts for nutritional and herbal supplements that
provide relevant levels of active ingredients. Lamberts products are produced in
their own factory which is one of the most modern and technically advanced in
Europe and which operates to stringent pharmaceutical standards of Good
Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and is approved by the UK Department of Health,
Medicines Control Agency. Each product manufactured by Lamberts is subjected to
a series of rigorous tests ranging from analysis of the raw materials through to
tests on the product whilst it is being made as well as the finished product
itself to ensure they meet the specifications given on the label. Lamberts work
in conjunction with several research departments at Universities through the UK
to conduct studies on a number of topics ranging from the use of magnesium in
asthma through to anthocyanidins and fluid retention. Many of Lamberts products
are of a higher potency than you would normally find in retail products. The
reason for this is that the active ingredients in their products are included at
relevant levels as opposed to just token levels.
Herbs
For thousands of years, herbs have been used to help maintain many aspects of
health and wellness. Today, research and technology are bringing herbalism into
the modern age – with improved extraction, standardization, and farming
methods. Clinical studies are beginning to validate herbal therapies, so even
some in the medical community are starting to accept them.
Many of today’s
medicines were originally derived from botanicals. Aspirin once came from the
white willow tree, quinine from the bark of the cinchona tree, and digitalis
from foxglove. Herbs are still the basis for Chinese medicine and are important
constituents of many European natural remedies. As Hippocrates said, “Let they
food by thy medicine, thy medicine be thy food”.
Some of the herbs
available on this site are wild-crafted – grown in the wild – while others
are meticulously cultivated on herb farms.
