I first discovered the Ginger people Christmas of 2005. A friend picked up a bottle of Ginger Peanut Sauce from T.J. Max, as they knew I liked ginger. I cooked with it, making things like Asian snap peas, which my friends started requesting at pot luck get togethers. (They thought I spent hours making them) Sadly my bottle was running out. I looked on line to try to find more and ran across the Ginger People's website. I ordered a half a case of the Ginger Peanut sauce, and decided to try a couple of their other sauces. (All of which are excellent by the way)

The website offered "ginger chews" which I'd bought before from Trader Joe's under Trader Joe's branding. So I ordered a couple of bags of those as I knew I liked them.

By having my order reach a certain amount, the shipping was greatly reduced.

Being short of the amount, I decided to try the Gin-Gins, even though I'm not a hard candy kind of guy.A few months later, I was glad I did, however, as one of my new medications gave me dry mouth during the afternoon and when I talked a lot. I was able to put a Gin-Gin in my mouth which kept me from having dry mouth or having to chew on a Ginger Chew during meetings.

I recently had another new med introduced, which has a side effect of nausea, the ginger chew helps calm that down, but isn't always convenient, like at meetings, socializing, or other types of interactions with others. Gin-Gins to the rescue again.

If you're prone to having an upset stomach, I can't think of too many , if any better way to settle that stomach down than a true ginger based product. Gin-Gins are the perfect all around, right in any setting answer.

When taking one out of my pocket, friends, co-workers, or clients, have asked to have one. I've yet to get anything put positive responses for Gin-Gins taste. So for anyone who just likes hard candy, Gin-Gins sure seem a winner with everyone I've shared with.

Try them, (and other fine selections from the Ginger People) you won't be disappointed.

I'm pregnant with my second baby and my friend sent me a bag of the Gin Gins hard candy as a gift. I was hesitant to try them, especially as my stomach was turning. But I did, and I'm SO glad I did! They worked almost instantly to settle my stomach and the nausea completely disappeared! WONDERFUL! I'm going to invest in cases of these for the next three months!!!

My mom gave me these ginger candies during my first trimester when I was pregnant with my second baby and I liked them. The taste was pleasant and although they never totally quelled the nausea, they seemed to at least take the edge off the nausea. And on the times they didn't seem to help, they at least took that horrible pregnancy taste out of my mouth. (Yuck!) I would recommend at least trying them for morning sickness; if it's bad like mine was, try anything you can!

I am a new lover of Gin Gins hard candy!! I am newly pregnant (7 weeks) and the morning sickness, which for me is all-day sickness, began a few days ago. I feel aweful, AWEFUL. As soon as I found out I was pregnant I stocked up on anything that might help with the impending nausea - PsiBands, Preggie Pops, Ginger tea, Gin Gins. The PsiBands don't seem to work for me but the ginger candy is AMAZING. (The Preggie Pops work pretty well too.) I feel almost normal while I'm sucking on it. I don't know how or why but, seriously, after about 30 seconds of popping a ginger candy in my mouth I feel SO much better. I'm probably going to destroy my teeth by sucking on candy all day but for now it is definitly worth the relief. Thank you to everyone who rated these highly and convinced me to try them!! (My only complaint is that the candies are a little small and so seem to go fast.)

I bought these while I was pregnant because I was having terrible morning sickness. Me thinking I was getting something I could actually take was very wrong. These are not what I would call "candy" They are very spicy when you put them in your mouth. I did not have more then 2 before they went in the trash. I would rather have morning sickness then eat these.

I am a "dyed in the wool" ginger-lover and looked forward to a veritable explosion of hot, spicy, tangy ginger in my salivating mouth.

Bummer...what was delivered was a somewhat honey-flavored confection...that was merely bland in its intention. Disappointing in demeanor...exhorbitant in cost.

I found this product when I looked through a search engine to find natural ginger. I was taking a medication, that made me very sick to my stomache. Because of all the other medications I was on, my doctor was reluctant to give me another medication to address this side effect, so he suggested natural ginger. The first product I found was in a super market and it was ginger pieces that I would hold in my mouth, it worked ok, but one day I was in a super market and found some all natural ginger candy and that was great. I looked for it again to no avail. When I found these online, I was thrilled, but I was even happier when they arrived!!!! I would highly recommend these to anyone who is pregnant, or going through cancer treatments, motion sickness and of course side effects from medications. They are inexpensive and worth a million!!

We love Gin-Gins! We eat them all the time. It took a while for my kids to like them but now they love them. They work great for my daughter's motion sickness. She is good at getting that in the car and has pretty much "broke in" every vehicle we have had. Took them with us on our trip to Colorado and guess what? No upset stomachs from the curvy roads! I don't consider the ginger ale you buy at Walmart real ginger. If you want real ginger eat Gin-Gins!

These didn't do too much for me as far as morning sickness but mine is severe, so I am sure it is a fine product.

I first tasted Gin Gins when I was leaving a restaurant in Manhattan and took a few to go. They were refreshing and seemed to settle my stomach after the big meal I had just eaten. The next time a friend said she was going to that same restaurant, I asked her to bring me some. After that I had to have them so I went on Amazon. Gin Gins are delicious with just the right amount of ginger taste-not too overwhelming, but very soothing. Try them!
