Ginger capsules- Which brand?

[MMR555]

Hi Everyone,

We'll be going our first cruise and want to be prepared in case of sea sickness. I want to use Ginger capsules. For those of you that have used Ginger in the past what brand do you use and where do you get them? Thank you.

 

46 more days!!

I've seen Ginger in the vitamin section of Walmart, Target, Sprouts, Vons, CVS, Trader Joe's.

Crystalized ginger- usually in the spice area of supermarkets - is much less expensive and, in my opinion, more effective than capsules - it also tastes pretty good.

mmm candy. makes REALLY good molasses cookies.

 

also for the most benefit start taking it a day or two BEFORE you get on board.

 

Green Apples are the hidden secret as well. being in a suite usually, we almost always have at least one on our welcome fruit plate. but if th seas are ever rough, they become as scarce as hen's teeth in the public areas. I usually see them on the Buffet or whatever secondary eating area( Cafe Promenade on Royal ships for instance)

Green apples are fantastic.

My daughter has used Gravol ginger tablets with great success. She gets so disoriented and nauseated when she flies that she tried them, and loved them.

Don't think brand makes any difference at all. Supplements like ginger are not regulated by any agency that I know of, so you're taking your chances with all of them (by that I mean quality, safety, potency, etc.). I don't mean to say you shouldn't take them, I do myself in very rough conditions, but I wouldn't waste time or money searching by brand name. I also prefer the crystallized ginger (especially dark chocolate covered from Trader Joe's!) but don't know whether it's more or less effective than the capsules/tablets.

Any health food or vitamin store will sell ginger capsules. I would take 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening - never got sea sick. The capsules are the easiest way to take ginger, IMO.

Both Trader Joe's and Newman's own make real ginger "mints". They come in a tin (like Altoids), and travel very well. :cool:

Altoids used to make uncommonly strong Ginger Mints. I miss them..

 

may have to check out Newman's own. see if they are as good

If you have a Trader Joe's near you -- check their Ginger Mints out, too. IMHO, both those and the Newman's Own are very good.:cool:

 

I normally don't have any problem with the "motion of the ocean" -- and we've been through some rip-roaring storms, over the years. But, on our San Diego to Hawaii round-trip, I encountered what is known as a "beam sea" for the first time. Those side-facing Pacific waves took my sea legs right out from under me! :eek: Ginger mints and ice water saved my ..... ;)

I seen you can say the supermakets's name

Thank you everyone! I'm not sure if we'll need anything but want to be prepared and prefer not taking meds if possible. Ginger capsules, candy and crystalized ginger it is!!

Thank you. I know it's not regulated but was looking for something without a lot of other ingredients.
