Some Application
1. It Improves Sexual Satisfaction And Erectile Dysfunction
Results from a new pilot study published in the Journal of Integrative Medicine explain that Black ginger may be of benefit in improving sexual satisfaction and performance. It is known that sexual health is important for overall well-being.
There are some drugs that enhance male sexual health, such as Viagra, but many of them come with adverse side effects. However, there are no side effects to black ginger extract.
It is also found that black ginger supports improving the symptoms of erectile dysfunction. A study in 2012 conducted in Thailand found that K. parviflora rhizome extract improved erectile response in older men. So, with this in mind, the researchers evaluated that Black ginger could provide a safe and efficacious non-prescription alternative to more common drugs targeting the sexual health of men.
2. Black Ginger Extract Reduces Inflammation
Black ginger extract is also known to reduce inflammation. A natural molecule called Luteolin, which is found in artichoke and chamomile, can block mast cells. It has been discovered that a different version of Luteolin, known as Methoxyluteolin, is found in black ginger, and it is a more potent inhibitor of mast cells.
Methoxyluteolin and Luteolin can inhibit the ability of mast cells to initiate inflammation and can also block inflammation when administered before the trigger forms a mast cell into action.
So, people having psoriasis and other skin disorders can try black ginger to obtain its therapeutic effects.
3. Anti-Aging Effects Of Black Ginger
Black ginger also has anti-aging effects. Some experimental results for the effectiveness of the black ginger extract in the activation of the longevity gene showed that the product had a significant anti-aging effect.
Black Ginger is found to inhibit glocalization, or the age-related development of disfiguring brown pigments in the skin, which provided additional evidence for an anti-aging benefit.
4. Beneficial For Diabetics
Another health benefit of Black ginger is that it provides wonderful benefits for diabetics. It is known to reduce blood glucose levels. For type 2 diabetics and those suffering from obesity, experimental results showing inhibition of fat accumulation and reduction in insulin resistance with black ginger extracts are encouraging. Black ginger can be consumed as a beverage or in hard or soft capsules, or in tablet form.
