Doses are declared per serving in mg. “By weight” is the share of the ingredient that is the nutrient itself (e.g. elemental magnesium in a magnesium salt).

Why Fresh ginger / ginger juice is unrated

Fresh or juiced ginger contains mostly water, so its declared mass is not comparable with dried powder or extract mass; recorded without a dose.

Why Ginger extract standardized to gingerols (and gingerol/shogaol marker rows) is unrated

A declared gingerol percentage describes composition, not demonstrated superiority; no verified comparative trial. Rows whose own name is the marker ("Gingerols 25 mg") are the marker mass, not ginger, so they are recorded without a dose to avoid double counting with the extract row they sit under.

Tiers summarize published comparative bioavailability or outcome evidence for each form (see methodology). This page describes the market; it is not a recommendation to take either form. Talk to a clinician about what's right for you.
