Why Ginger root/rhizome extract (unstandardized or ratio extract) is unrated
Extract mass on a label (a 4:1 extract, a supercritical CO2 extract, a dry aqueous extract) represents very different amounts of ginger, and no verified human study ranks extract types against each other or against powder.
Why Fresh ginger / ginger juice is unrated
Fresh or juiced ginger contains mostly water, so its declared mass is not comparable with dried powder or extract mass; recorded without a dose.
