Abstract
Compositions and methods for improving gastrointestinal function and reducing the presence of gas bubbles in a gastrointestinal tract. A composition includes an effective amount of ginger root extract for reducing gas bubbles in a gastrointestinal tract and further includes propylene glycol and sodium chloride.
Description
Claims
  • 1. A composition comprising: an effective amount of ginger root extract for reducing gas in a gastrointestinal tract of a user;propylene glycol; andsodium chloride.
  • 2. The composition of claim 1, further comprising one or more of citric acid or ascorbic acid.
  • 3. The composition of claim 1, wherein the propylene glycol is an effective amount of propylene glycol for making the composition water soluble and increasing absorption by the user of the effective amount of the ginger root extract.
  • 4. The composition of claim 1, wherein the effective amount of the ginger root extract comprises from about 3 wt% to about 25 wt% the composition.
  • 5. The composition of claim 1, wherein the propylene glycol comprises from about 10 wt% to about 40 wt% the composition.
  • 6. The composition of claim 1, further comprising water, wherein the water comprises from about 20 wt% to about 85 wt% the composition.
  • 7. The composition of claim 1, wherein the composition is prepared for oral administration.
  • 8. The composition of claim 1, wherein the composition is prepared for intravenous or intramuscular administration.
  • 9. The composition of claim 1, wherein the effective amount of the ginger root extract comprises 6-gingerol and 6-shogaol.
  • 10. The composition of claim 1, wherein the composition is water soluble.
  • 11. A method comprising: providing a composition to a user for reducing gas in a gastrointestinal tract of the user, wherein the composition comprises: an effective amount of ginger root extract for reducing the gas in the gastrointestinal tract of the user;propylene glycol; andsodium chloride.
  • 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the composition further comprises one or more of citric acid or ascorbic acid.
  • 13. The method of claim 11, wherein the propylene glycol is an effective amount of propylene glycol for making the composition water soluble and increasing absorption by the user of the effective amount of the ginger root extract.
  • 14. The method of claim 11, wherein the effective amount of the ginger root extract comprises from about 3 wt% to about 25 wt% the composition.
  • 15. The method of claim 11, wherein the propylene glycol comprises from about 10 wt% to about 40 wt% the composition.
  • 16. The method of claim 11, wherein the composition further comprises water, and wherein the water comprises from about 20 wt% to about 85 wt% the composition.
  • 17. The method of claim 11, wherein the composition is prepared for oral administration.
  • 18. The method of claim 11, wherein the composition is prepared for intravenous or intramuscular administration.
  • 19. The method of claim 11, wherein the effective amount of the ginger root extract comprises 6-gingerol and 6-shogaol.
  • 20. The method of claim 11, wherein the composition is water soluble.
