Summary

This study aims to examine the effect of ginger beverage consumption on platelets activity in apparently healthy Saudi adult volunteers.

As for the Saudi population, consumption of powdered ginger dissolved in hot water is a common practice. Accordingly, in this study, it is tempting to speculate the effect of this form of ginger consumption, given in separate time points per day, on platelet aggregation profile by using platelet aggregation analogues. If positive results were obtained, the herb could provide natural protection against the development of platelet aggregation complications and could be a potential alternative to aspirin, used for improving blood circulation and hematological pathophysiologies in diseased individuals.
