Research

Research in reducing nausea and vomiting:

Experimental studies have shown that gingerols and shogoals in ginger help in increasing gastrodueodenal motility, thereby providing relief from nausea and reducing vomiting. (Pertz HH et al. “Effects of ginger constituents on the gastrointestinal tract: role of cholinergic M3 and serotonergic 5-HT4 receptors.” Planta Med 2011 Jul).

Piperine helps in improving digestion:

Piperine, the principal constituent of black and long pepper stimulates secretion of pancreatic enzymes involved in digestion. It improves digestion and helps in improving movement of food through the gastrointestinal tract. Moreover, it also helps in increasing absorption of nutrients. (Srinivasan K. “Black pepper and its pungent principle-piperine: a review of diverse physiological effects.” Crit Rev Food Sci Nutr. 2007).

Anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic activities of Trikatu:

Experimental studies have demonstrated the anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic activities of Trikatu. Studies have shown that use with Trikatu helps in suppressing activities of inflammatory mediators and enhances the antioxidant status. Hence, Trikatu is beneficial for people with arthritis. (Murunikkara V et al. “Trikatu, a herbal compound mitigates the biochemical and immunological complications in adjuvant-induced arthritic rats.” Int J Rheum Dis. 2014 Dec).

Lipid lowering activity of Trikatu

Experimental studies have shown that Trikatu helps in lowering the triglycerides and the LDL cholesterol levels in the blood following consumption of a fat-rich meal. (Sivakumar V et al. “Effect of an indigenous herbal compound preparation ‘Trikatu’ in the lipid profiles of atherogenic diet and standard diet fed Rattus norvegicus.” Phytother Res. 2004 Dec).
