Ginger Extract
Clinically proven to calm nausea and stomach discomfort — the two most common morning-after complaints. Part of Shield's morning comfort system.
What ginger does for morning-after comfort
Ginger has been used for nausea for thousands of years — and modern clinical trials have confirmed its effectiveness. The active compounds (gingerols and shogaols) work on serotonin receptors in your gut and brain to reduce the sensation of nausea.
In Shield, ginger targets the stomach discomfort and nausea that are the most common morning-after complaints. Combined with prickly pear (which addresses inflammation) and taurine (which supports brain function), it forms the morning comfort system.
We standardise our ginger extract to contain at least 5% gingerols — ensuring consistent potency across batches. This is different from raw ginger root, which varies widely in active compound content.

What you might experience
What you might experience
Mild heartburn or stomach warmth — possible in people with acid reflux. Taking with food reduces this. More common with raw ginger than with extract.
Diarrhoea or mouth irritation at higher doses. Very unlikely at 100–200mg extract.
Duration of use
Indefinite. Ginger has been consumed for millennia. Supplemental ginger extract at 100–200mg daily has no long-term safety concerns.
Situations where this ingredient is not appropriate
Severe acid reflux/GERD: Ginger can sometimes worsen heartburn in people with severe reflux. If this happens, take with a full meal.
Before surgery: Stop at least 1 week before surgery due to mild anti-platelet effects.
Gallstones: Ginger stimulates bile flow. If you have gallstones, consult your doctor.
