BreathiOf our five plants, ginger is the one with real modern data. It is also the one where we have to be most careful, for two reasons: dose and blood thinners.
Both are on this page.
Ginger has the deepest modern research file of the five plants in BreathiZen — over 100 controlled trials, strongest for nausea. Most used gram-level doses, far above what any 154 mg blend can contain.
What the trials actually studied
Ginger has been through more than a hundred controlled human trials. The strongest and most consistent findings are for nausea — pregnancy-related, post-operative and chemotherapy-induced. There is also reasonable work on osteoarthritis pain and inflammatory markers. NCCIH summarises it neutrally and is worth five minutes of your time.
Notice what is not on that list: respiratory endpoints. Ginger is in our blend for a settled, warm throat, which is a traditional-use rationale, not a trial-backed respiratory claim.
The dose question we have to be honest about
Most positive ginger trials used doses measured in grams — commonly 1 to 2 grams of dried ginger equivalent per day. Our entire daily blend is 154 mg across five plants. Even if ginger were the whole blend, it would sit roughly an order of magnitude below the studied doses.
We are the brand and we are printing that. It is the honest frame for any five-plant blend at this total: the plants are here for a traditional-use rationale and a pleasant daily routine, not because each one is delivered at its trial dose. The full arithmetic is here.
The caution that matters most
Ginger has recognised antiplatelet activity. Combined with warfarin, apixaban, rivaroxaban, clopidogrel or regular aspirin, it is a prescriber's conversation. This is the single most important safety line on our whole website, and it is why it has its own page and sits above the pricing on our homepage.

Because it earns its place on taste, tradition and tolerability, and because a formula built around the plant with the best-documented safety profile is a better formula than one built around an obscure ingredient with no record at all. We just will not claim its nausea trials as evidence for your breathing.
- 100+ controlled trials — strongest for nausea
- Trial doses: 1–2 g/day; our whole blend is 154 mg
- No trial-backed respiratory endpoint
- Antiplatelet activity = prescriber conversation
In one line. Ginger has 100+ trials, strongest for nausea, at gram-level doses far above a 154 mg five-plant blend. And it is the blood-thinner conversation.
