Understanding the interactions, benefits, and safety of combining these two powerful supplements.

Ginger Root

Short answer

We found no documented interaction between BCAAs and Ginger in the sources below. That isn't proof the combination is right for you: check each one's cautions, and ask your pharmacist if you take medication.

BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids)

What it is: Leucine, isoleucine and valine: amino acids from protein foods that muscles can use for energy.

What the research says: There's little evidence they help endurance. With weight training they might help muscle, but it isn't clear they do more than eating enough protein.

Cautions

  • A diet with enough protein already gives 10 to 20 g a day; up to another 20 g a day from supplements seems safe.

Ginger

What it is: A root used in food and traditional medicine, mainly for nausea and digestion.

What the research says: Ginger may help nausea in pregnancy and menstrual cramps. Most studies found it doesn't help motion sickness.

Cautions

  • Used safely in many studies; it can cause heartburn, stomach discomfort or diarrhea.

Medicines to check

  • Talk to your clinician if you take any medicine

Always check with your doctor or pharmacist before combining supplements, especially if you take medication, are pregnant or nursing, or manage a health condition.

Stop Guessing Your Dosages.

Balancing dosages across multiple different bottles is risky, inefficient, and expensive. Taking too much of one can blunt the absorption of the other.

Holitro completely solves this. We combine synergistic ingredients into one perfectly dosed daily pack, scientifically formulated for maximum absorption.
