Summary

The purpose of our graduate student research study is to observe the effects of ginger on hsCRP, IL-6, and TNF-α levels in exercising individuals based on their level of activity.

Detailed description

Participants will fill out a demographic questionnaire and a quality of life survey, (SF-36). Take a 3g supplement of ginger in powder form with meals once/day (preferably in the morning) for 8 weeks. By end of week 4 (halfway through the study), subjects will do another blood test for mid-intervention CRP, IL-6, and TNF-α values. By end of week 8, participants will do a final blood test for CRP values and fill out the SF-36 survey for post-intervention levels.
