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.
Why Ginger essential oil / oleoresin is unrated
A concentrated volatile/pungent fraction, not comparable by mass with root powder; recorded without a dose.
