Numerous scientific studies have been conducted to determine the effectiveness of using ginger compounds and their applications. It is known that shogaol has anti-cancer properties and is used to alleviate the side effects of chemotherapy. Studies on animals have shown that compounds found in ginger suppress the proliferation of cancer stem cells, inhibit neoangiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels in cancerous tissues), and promote apoptosis – the natural cell death of cancer cells. Studies conducted in China and Korea and their results indicate that ginger compounds significantly improve the quality of life for patients with breast and endometrial cancer.
