A peer-reviewed pilot study in Physical Activity and Nutrition (van der Wolf-Ong et al., 2026) followed six sub-elite female footballers over six months, comparing three months without turmeric and ginger with three months drinking one Raw Turmeric & Ginger Shot a day. What it found:
During the shot period, physical menstrual symptom severity was approximately 10% lower overall, a statistically significant reduction.
This was the first study of its kind to test turmeric and ginger together, in whole-food shot form, with female footballers - a group that has been systematically under-researched. The study was part-funded through a knowledge-transfer partnership, and The Turmeric Co. had no role in designing the study or interpreting the results.
