The Power of Black Ginger
Black Ginger (kaempferia parviflora) has been extensively studied and has demonstrated natural antioxidant properties to provide possible cardiovascular and circulatory health benefits.
ENHANCES SEXUAL HEALTH
Inhibits the action of phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) enzyme in patients with erectile dysfunction (ED) which increases the blood flow to the genitals.
IMPROVES METABOLISM
Promotes energy metabolism and suppresses high fat diet-induced obesity by increasing energy metabolism.
REDUCES ABDOMINAL FAT
Reduces body fat, particularly abdominal fat, and triglyceride levels after 12 weeks. Suppresses high fat diet-induced obesity by increasing energy metabolism.
INCREASES PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE
Increases physical fitness performance, muscular endurance, fatigue, and metabolism by improving inflammation and energy metabolism.
ANTI-CANCER EFFECTS
A recent study suggests that Black Ginger contains active compounds which may directly or indirectly inhibit EGF-dependent signal transduction pathways and subsequently suppress tumor progression and induce cancer cell death. The study presents accumulated evidence that black ginger has anti-cancer properties including the suppression of growth and survival signaling pathways, inhibition of metalloproteinase 2 activity, inhibition of cell migration and invasion, and induction of apoptosis in the HeLa cervical cancer cell line.
PROMOTES A HEALTHIER HEART
Increases vascular relaxation which leads to improved blood flow providing heart protective properties. The extract also caused a decrease in visceral and subcutaneous fat, fasting serum glucose and triglyceride levels and liver lipid accumulation. KPE is an effective vasodilator and antioxidant that is able to prevent myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.
IMPROVES BRAIN FUNCTION
Reduces oxidative damage and memory deterioration in stroke or vascular dementia. Studies have shown a therapeutic effect in the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
