Cardamom Could Be Great For The Gut

[Vinny]

Has anybody had effects from cardamonextract ? I am trying 90 mg per day at the moment.

Drank some tea and put it in my coffee a few times, and had a ghost wipe yesterday, but not sure it was from the cardamon. Need to experiment more

Cardamom is definitely helping with digestion. I eat a couple of pods after meals it no heart burn (typical when i eat fried foods).

I should go back to making Chai. Uses a lot of spices. Cardamom, cinnamon bark (not the Ceylon type, though I should look for one) clove bud, ginger, allspice, and one more spice I can't remember the name of. I use orange pekoe tea for best Chai. Then lotsa milk. And peaty too.

Come to think of it, it's very antibacterial. The tea is a biofilm buster.

Nutmeg.

rasmalai usually has cardamom and saffron in it, used to eat that for breakfast daily

You simply chew the raw pods?

Yup 3 or 4 small ones.

I used to make a sugar syrup infused with cardamom, cinnamon, clove and star anise, I think I used some allspice too (lightly roasting then cooking it together with the sugar in a pan). Tasted amazing in milk. Back then I didn't watch for any possible bodily benfits.

That's an awesome idea! I was looking into making invert sugar syrup. That would make it more interesting.

According to the study, it should translate to about 1tsp daily of the spice.
Has anyone used it before with success, either the spice or the essential oil?

Bumpskies. Interesting tasting spice no doubt.

@Hans, permission to change Cardamon to Cardamom in the title?

Yes please. My bad on that one.

cardamom is a key ingredient in cinnamon rolls, although the presence of grandma is a confounding factor in evaluating its effect

 

[Sumbody]

Can anyone with the experience recommend a brand or store with cardamom powder that is high quality?

Would like to order some and try supplementing with it as I currently supplement with ceylon cinnamon, and am interested in combining the two.

I’ve used it to spice up boiled rice in the past - gives it a nice flavor.

Last weekend I had gut bloat and I was constipated as well. The bloat was being relieved by a lot of burping, and an occasional fart.

I chewed on one cardamom seed together with three cloves. It helped ease the pain, if only temporarily. I did the same with a teaspoon of fennel, had the same effect.

But the relief was only temporary. I had to resort co copper acetate, probiotics, and cascara sagrada to resolve the issue.

From this study:

Dose effects of the food spice cardamom on aspects of hamster gut physiology. - PubMed - NCBI
The administration of cardamom extract (0.5 and 1.5 g/100 g diet) effectively (p < 0.05) shortened hamster gastrointestinal transit time by approximately 58%, increased fecal moisture contents (148-174%), increased SCFA concentrations in hindgut (4.0- to 7.8-fold), decreased the activities of beta-D-glucuronidase (by 71.4-85.7%), beta-D-glucosidase (by 24.3-51.5%), mucinase (by 63.6-72.7%), and urease (by 88.8-90.4%) in feces, and reduced the production of toxic ammonia (by 16.1-64.5%).

According to the study, it should translate to about 1tsp daily of the spice.

I have added the spice to my latte's in the morning and it appears that my bowel movements are more full since starting it. I'm quite consistent with my daily intake and flow so that's the only thing that's really changed.

[Hgreen56]

I drink 3 latte's, so I would say somewhere around a pinch for each. I added it to the regiment after you mentioned it about safely removing fat. About 10 days in so far. I was going to mention this in the ot her thread you started on this topic.

That's pretty cool. How do you like the taste? Have you noticed any other benefits so far?
