Clinical Evidence

Niosomes as Vesicular Nanocarriers in Cosmetics

Recent advancements in cosmetic chemistry have explored the use of niosomes for the efficient delivery of active compounds. This review discusses the physicochemical properties and efficacy of niosomes in cosmetics, highlighting their potential for sustained and targeted delivery of active ingredients, including ginger extract. For more details, see Niosomes as Vesicular Nanocarriers in Cosmetics.

Manufacturing of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticle-Loaded Mats

A study demonstrated the green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles using ginger extract, which were then incorporated into nanofibers for tissue engineering applications. The findings suggest that these nanofibers exhibit antimicrobial properties and can be used in wound dressings. For further information, refer to Manufacturing of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticle (ZnO NP)-Loaded Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) Nanostructured Mats.

Anti-Inflammatory Effects

Research has shown that ginger root extract can enhance the anti-inflammatory effects of diclofenac sodium, significantly reducing edema and inflammatory markers in experimental models. This suggests its potential as a complementary treatment in inflammation management. More details can be found in the study Zingiber officinale Root Capsule Extract Synergistically Enhance the Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Diclofenac Sodium.
