Ginger Memory Randomized TrialDiscussion Overall, Zingiberaceae-derived interventions may improve memory-related outcomes, but the evidence is very uncertain due to substantial heterogeneity, the small number of studies, risk of bias in some trials, and variability in populations, formulations, and outcome measures.1Victoria-Montesinos D (2026)Effects of Zingiberaceae-derived interventions on memory-related and other cognitive outcomes in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Ginger Memory Randomized TrialIntroduction Cognitive impairment and age-related cognitive decline are major public health concerns, and nutraceutical strategies targeting modifiable biological pathways have attracted growing interest.1Victoria-Montesinos D (2026)Effects of Zingiberaceae-derived interventions on memory-related and other cognitive outcomes in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Ginger Memory Randomized TrialCompounds derived from the Zingiberaceae family, including curcumin, turmeric, ginger, and related preparations, have been investigated for their potential neuroprotective effects, but their clinical impact on specific cognitive domains remains unclear.1Victoria-Montesinos D (2026)Effects of Zingiberaceae-derived interventions on memory-related and other cognitive outcomes in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
