Black ginger is produced in abundance in Thailand and has a history of consumption of more than 1,000 years. Thais slice black ginger and boil it in water to drink as tea, or soak it in wine as a medicinal wine. Black ginger is a household name in Thailand as a representative health food because of its energy-enhancing and nourishing effects. Since 2000, studies have found that black ginger has great potential in increasing basal metabolism, weight loss and male function. Starting with the Japanese market, black ginger weight loss products have sprung up in the market, quickly gaining market recognition and becoming a hot-selling weight loss product. Black ginger is now synonymous with weight loss. When consumers see black ginger, they will naturally think of weight loss. However, like ginger, galangal and other rhizomes of the ginger family, black ginger tastes daunting, especially its stimulating taste. These weaknesses are fatal to black ginger for direct drinking beverages or direct consumption of soft candies or jellies. OEM/ODM factories can only make tablets and capsules, which are challenging for some consumers with swallowing difficulties, greatly limiting the further globalization of black ginger.
T Covering TechTM: The use of multi-layer microencapsulation technology, adding a taste masking layer and an enteric layer, will allow black ginger to be applied to a larger market and benefit more people who need black ginger.
1.Increase energy expenditure
Figure 2. KPE increases oxygen consumption and UCP1 expression levels of BAT in C57BL/6J mice
Modern clinical pharmacology studies have shown that frankincense extract can improve the quality of the regenerated mucosal structure in rats with gastric ulcers; reduce the infiltration of neutrophils, lymphocytes, plasma cells, monocytes and macrophages in the lamina propria of the regenerated mucosa of rats with gastric ulcers, and improve the quality of the regenerated mucosal structure in rats with gastric ulcers; it has the effect of increasing the secretion of neutral mucus by regenerated mucosal cells, and improves the functional maturity of the regenerated mucosa in rats with gastric ulcers.
2. Reduce belly fat
The results of assessments of physical parameters (body weight, BMI, and lipid and glucose metabolism blood parameters) are shown in Table 4. FBG was higher in the KPE group compared with the placebo group at 0W. The change in FBG from 0W was significantly lower at 12W in the KPE group compared with the placebo group.
Moreover, the decrease in TGs in the KPE group was significantly greater than that observed in the placebo group after 12W. There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of the other parameters.
3. Reduce exercise fatigue
KPE was orally administered to mice for 4 weeks and muscular endurance was
evaluated at 0-, 1-, 2-, and 4-week periods. In each week, no significant differences
between the control and KPE groups were observed in the initial values determined
(0 h) (Fig. 3). However, from the second and third measurements (0.5 or 1 h), thdecreases in the swimming time were smaller in the KPE group than in the control
group (Fig. 3B-D). This suppression was confirmed from the 1-week period and became clearer in a time-dependent manner (Fig. 3B-D). In the 4-week period determination, the swimming time duration for the last measurement (3 h) shortened only 27% against the first measurement in the KPE group, while that shortened 78% in the control group (Fig. 3D), indicating the enforcement of the muscular endurance or the rapid recovery from swimming-induced fatigue in the KPE group.
4.Promote vasodilation
The maximal contractile response to phenylephrine on the endothelium-intact thoracic aortic ring obtained from a KPD treated rat was significantly lower than that of the vehicle control group, but the EC50 values were similar (Fig. 5A, Table 3). However,this effect disappeared in the presence of LNA or after removal of the vascular endothelium, although the EC50 values were decreased by about 5 fold and increased by about 2 fold in the maximal contractile responses to all groups (Fig. 5B and C).
5. Improve male sexual function
When KPE concentration was 420 mg/kg, the sperm count of diabetic rats increased significantly after oral administration for 6 weeks.
