I've tried tums, rolaids and a few other products, but nothing relived my indigestion or my nausea as well as Gingera did. My midwife recommended this to me during my last trimester and I have been using it since. I love the ginger in it, I love that it's all natural and I love how fast it works.

Gingera has 2 active ingredients-baking soda and tartaric acid (Cream of Tartar.) It's inactive ingredients include regular sugar (sucrose) and corn syrup. Does anyone still feel that corn syrup is "all-natural"? "Ginger-ale flavor" and "real" ginger are among the inactive ingredients.
Yet the product is hyped based on it's "all-natural"-ness and named after the the "soothing" properties of ginger. To say that it is made of "pure and natural baking soda"is absurd. Sodium bicarbonate is sodium bicarbonate. This is one of the myriad examples of
deceptive marketing which unfortunately is now as prevalent in the "all-natural" and "organic" market sector as in the food mainstream. And of course it carries a super-premium price. To call it deceptive marketing is not strong enough. It is unconscionable. We can't legislate the problem away. People have to be willing to read labels and educate themselves. As always,buyer beware. If this product interests you you'd be better off having some bicarb and some ginger ale.
