Buderim Ginger’s new BioActive Ginger Plus (BG+) shots recently won “Best Functional Food or Beverage Product” at  the Naturally Good Awards as a result of its ability to help relieve nausea caused by travel sickness, pregnancy or medical treatments.

Buderim Ginger's sales and product coordinator Millie Mae says although the BG+ range was only recently introduced to the market, the brand has received “outstanding” feedback from customers, and the number of suppliers stocking the range is continuing to grow. 

The Naturally Good Awards saw the BG+ shots compete against a diverse range of national and international health-related products. 

Mae attributed the win to Buderim Ginger’s 80 years of experience in ginger and the in-house research and development team that formulated the product.

Mae says the BG+ range harnesses the power of locally grown ginger and combines it with essential nutrients, including post-type probiotics, plant-derived vitamins and minerals.

“We know that many clinicians advise their patients to use ginger to prevent and soothe nausea. We are so grateful to be able to offer a dedicated range of ginger products to really help people to get effective relief, with BioActive capsules, smoothie powder, gummie bears or daily shots,” Mae said.

Buderim Ginger says the BG+ range exemplifies the company's commitment to wellness, and further embodies the company's passion for ginger.

Buderim Ginger BioActive Ginger Plus shots are available online for $19.95 per 350ml bottle.
