Three Areas of Health That Decline with Age: The Black Ginger Solution
It's no surprise to anyone who is 40 or older that our anatomy and physiology don't work as well as they did when we were younger. Three specific areas of health that tend to decline with age have to do with visceral fat, physical fitness, and sexual health.* Luckily, black ginger extract can help.*
Black ginger (Kaempferia parviflora), a traditional herbal medicine of Thailand, contains a group of active compounds called polymethoxyflavones (PMFs). Research demonstrates that black ginger PMFs offer a range of benefits, including visceral fat reduction, promoting physical fitness, and supporting sexual health in men.*
What makes ACTIZ!NG™ different? It's a patented black ginger extract standardized to a high level of PMFs (35%) — not a generic ginger powder. The clinical research behind this article was conducted using this specific extract, at specific doses, across multiple study populations.*
The Research
Three Areas of Male Vitality. One Clinically Studied Extract.
Black ginger PMFs have been studied across multiple human clinical trials spanning visceral fat, physical performance, and sexual health. The consistency of findings across these three areas is what makes this ingredient stand out.*
Visceral Fat
Helped reduce visceral fat in overweight individuals*
Two human clinical studies found that black ginger extract providing 12 mg/day of PMF helped reduce visceral fat. A third pilot study using ACTIZ!NG®'s high-potency extract found the same dose also reduced waist circumference and waist:hip ratio while increasing lean, fat-free mass.*
Cardiorespiratory Fitness
Improved VO₂ and physical performance*
A human clinical study in healthy adults found that black ginger extract providing 3.57 or 7.14 mg/day of PMF improved VO₂ and physical performance.*
Sexual Health
Promoted erectile function and intercourse satisfaction*
A pilot study found that black ginger extract providing 5 mg of 5,7-dimethoxyflavone promoted erectile function and satisfaction. A separate clinical study using 5.8 or 18.65 mg/day of PMF promoted erectile function and response to erotic stimuli in men.*
Across all of these studies, the strongest and most consistent benefits have been observed for visceral fat reduction, physical performance, and male sexual health.*
"Black ginger extract, especially ACTIZ!NG™ with a high level of PMF, has great potential to help with three areas of health impacted by age: visceral fat, physical fitness, and sexual health."

Why It Matters
The Numbers Behind the Decline
Visceral fat tends to increase with age. One study found increases of more than 200% in men between their 30s and 70s.
Cardiorespiratory fitness also declines over time. Research found that the decline in peak VO₂ can exceed 20% per decade in adults in their 70s and older.
Sexual desire and activity can change with age, too. Research has observed declines across men in their 40s, 50s, and 60s.
Three areas of health. One ingredient worth studying. That's why researchers have explored black ginger PMFs for their potential to support body composition, physical performance, and male sexual health.*
