I got it at a nutritional store. I wanted the natural pure ginger. It is " Reed's Crystallized Ginger" , baby ginger root sweetened with raw cane sugar. It tastes sweet on the outside, chewy, once you start chewing it tastes like ginger, Then it bites, a little hot like those red hot candies. I was taken back with the "hot" bite at first, getting used to it. It is helping, so I am going to continue to take it when the pain gets bad.
It is an anti inflammatory, and also thins blood so I don't want to take it everyday, only when I need it. It makes me belch a bit too.
Doc said pure ginger tea also, but I tried that before and that taste like dirt to me, yuck.
