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 Ginger extract standardized to gingerols (and gingerol/shogaol marker rows) is unrated
A declared gingerol percentage describes composition, not demonstrated superiority; no verified comparative trial. Rows whose own name is the marker ("Gingerols 25 mg") are the marker mass, not ginger, so they are recorded without a dose to avoid double counting with the extract row they sit under.
