Kaempferia parviflora Health Benefits
- Kaempferia parviflora Improves Endurance and Physical Fitness
Black ginger is used as a common energy enhancer and tonic. One of the most common reasons people seek out black ginger is for its energy-producing properties. According to Toda et al. (2015), this is because Thai black ginger extract contains polymethoxy flavonoids in myocytes, which aid in glucose, lactic acid, and lipid metabolism. These can result in an increase in locomotive functions and, as a result, an energy boost when consumed.
This study showed that KPE includes polymethoxyflavones that stimulate AMP-activated protein cinase (AMPK), which is a significant contributor to cell metabolism. There are others who argue that AMPK improves fatty metabolism, strength and fitness.
- Improves Sexual Health – Aids in Erection
Methoxyflavones, which have anticholinesterase activity (linked to sexual arousal) and PDE-5 inhibition activity, have been identified as major active compounds in black ginger research (beneficial for erectile dysfunction)
Phosphodiesterase5 (PDE5) inhibition is the science underlying black ginger’s use in the bedroom. Viagra is a PDE inhibitor that allows men to improve their sexual performance. As a result, black ginger acts as a natural PDE inhibitor, allowing it to live up to its reputation as a sexual health booster for men. Nitric oxide is produced by Kaempferia parviflora, which aids in penile erection by relaxing the muscles.
In a pilot research in 2018, 14 elderly adult men with erectile dysfunction received Kaempferia parviflora ethanol extract for 30 days. 13 males reported findings statistically significant in improving erectile function and enhancing sex satisfaction on a self-assessed questionnaire.
- Benefits Brain Function (Potential Parkinson’s Disease Treatment)
Black ginger is also known to be beneficial for brain function. Black ginger stimulates dopaminergic functions in the human brain, which aids cognitive function. Parkinson’s disease is caused by the degeneration of dopamine-secreting neurons. Black ginger’s ability to stimulate dopaminergic function may have a significant impact on cognitive health.
