What is black ginger extract powder?
Black ginger (Kaempferia parviflora) is a Zingiberaceae rhizome distinguished by its deep purple flesh and a profile of polymethoxyflavones such as 5,7‑dimethoxyflavone. Bionutricia’s patented enzymatic + ultrasonic extraction (MY-188945-A) yields a water‑soluble powder that concentrates these actives, providing batch‑to‑batch consistency for formulators.
Key active compounds
The primary marker is 5,7‑dimethoxyflavone, a polymethoxyflavone quantified by HPLC on every batch. Other co‑occurring methoxyflavones (e.g., pentamethoxyflavone) are also present and contribute to the extract’s bio‑chemical profile.
Human clinical evidence
Standardised black‑ginger extracts have been investigated in several human studies. The table below summarises the most relevant trials that used a methoxyflavone‑standardised extract.
| Study | Design | Finding |
|---|---|---|
| Positive Modulation Effect of 8‑Week Consumption of Kaempferia parviflora (2012) | Human clinical trial, n ≈ 30, 8 weeks | Physiological changes observed after 8 weeks of consumption; details reported in the study. |
| Skin Rejuvenation Efficacy and Safety Evaluation of Kaempferia parviflora (2024) | Human clinical trial, n ≈ 20, safety and skin‑rejuvenation endpoints | Demonstrated skin‑rejuvenation efficacy and safety in the trial population. |
| A Randomized Double‑Blind Placebo‑Controlled Trial (2019) | Randomised double‑blind placebo‑controlled trial, human participants | Assessed effects of Kaempferia parviflora supplementation; specific outcomes not detailed in the title. |
Limitations: sample sizes are modest; the 2019 RCT does not disclose specific outcomes in the record; the 2012 and 2024 studies provide physiological or skin‑related observations but lack detailed quantitative effect sizes in the returned record.
