Drying ginger creates a different drug

Fresh ginger is rich in 6-gingerol. Drying converts gingerols to shogaols. 6-Shogaol is 2-3x more potent than 6-gingerol for anti-inflammatory activity and activates TRPV1 (pain receptor). This means dried ginger extract is pharmacologically different from fresh ginger extract. The processing method creates a different medicine. Most product labels don't distinguish between the two.Publications of interest:https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8893993/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24757377/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6321066/
