Researchers have discovered that ginger, an ancient herbal remedy used for cooking and medicinal purposes, supports the regeneration of the cell’s powerhouse and may reduce the effects of mitochondrial dysfunction.
A study published in the Journal of Food Science found that ginger extract and gingerol, an active compound found in ginger root, both play a similar role in stimulating the AMPK-PCG1PCG1α pathway, which regulates the process of mitochondrial biogenesis.
