Ginger: A Natural Solution for Easing Menstrual Pain

Did you know that… over half of women experience pain or discomfort during their periods¹? LEHVOSS Nutrition offers high-quality ginger extract, widely recognised for its strong anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. This plant-based solution is backed by research showing its effectiveness in alleviating dysmenorrhea - painful menstrual periods marked by intense lower abdominal cramping - while also supporting overall women's health.

A meta-analysis that systematically reviewed and evaluated randomized controlled studies on the use of ginger for primary dysmenorrhea confirmed its ability to relieve menstrual pain². Additionally, studies on students with primary dysmenorrhea demonstrated that ginger significantly reduced both the intensity and duration of pain^3-5.

Our sustainably sourced ginger is a signature botanical ingredient (by Verdure Sciences® the makers of Longvida®) standardised to contain 15% gingerols and shogaols, by HPLC. With a long history of use and safety, ginger belongs to the Zingiberaceae family, which is closely related to turmeric, cardamom, and galangal. The rhizome, or underground stem, is the part most commonly used as a spice.

The distinct fragrance and flavour of ginger derive from its natural oils, with gingerol being the most significant. Gingerol is one of the primary bioactive compounds in ginger, responsible for many of its beneficial effects.
