Subject has upper abdominal pain or discomfort that is an unpleasant sensation, characterized by one or more of the following symptoms: early satiety, postprandial fullness, bloating, and nausea for at least 3 months during last year, without an identifiable underlying structural or biochemical motivation. 5. Leeds Dyspepsia Questionnaire score 8 to 24 (mild-moderate) 6. Beck's Depression Inventory score between 4 and 15 Exclusion Criteria: 1. Pregnancy/lactation 2. Subjects with relevant gastroesophageal reflux symptoms (retrosternal pain, burning, or regurgitation. 3. Subjects with clear evidence of irritable bowel syndrome. 4. Subjects under treatment with pharmacological substances that could influence the gastrointestinal system, such as prokinetics, ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), cholagogues, protonpump inhibitors, and H2 blockers, were asked to interrupt this treatment for one month before starting the study treatment. 5. Subjects with previous diagnosis of cancer or with previous surgery of the upper gastro gastrointestinal endoscopy were performed in order to exclude the presence of structural or biochemical causes of dyspepsia. 6. Participants are asked to avoid all foods containing ginger within the 14 days prior to study product administration and throughout the study. A list of foods high in ginger will be provided to subjects as a guide and this list will be reviewed at each visit. 7. Subject with known allergy to components of the test product 8. Any medical condition deemed exclusionary by the Principal Investigator 9. Subject has a history of drug and / or alcohol abuse at the time of enrolment 10. Change of dietary habit within the preceding month 11. Subject with known organic disease, including an inflammatory bowel disease, a benign or malign tumour of intestine or colon and significant systemic disease 12. Subject currently involved in any other clinical trial or having participated in a trial within the preceding 60 days, 13. Subject has any concurrent medical or psychiatric condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would compromise his/her ability to comply with the study requirements, 14. Current illnesses which could interfere with the study (e.g. prolonged severe diarrhea, regurgitation/severe, difficulty swallowing) 15. Subject has a history of cancer within the last 5 years, except basal cell carcinoma, non-squamous skin carcinoma, prostate cancer or carcinoma in situ with no significant progression over the past 2 years, 16.

Primary | Intensity of functional dyspepsia symptom score over 4-weeks as measured by subject rating score at week-4 | Overall score indicates the intensity of functional dyspepsia as defined by Subject's rating after four weeks of intervention with Gingest (100mg and 200mgs) versus placebo. The lower the score, the higher the intensity of the dyspeptic symptoms. 0: Not improved or worsened Slightly improved Markedly improved Completely improved |
4-weeks | |
Secondary | Intensity of functional dyspepsia symptoms over 2-weeks as measured by subject rating score | Overall score indicates the intensity of functional dyspepsia as defined by Subject's rating after two weeks of intervention with Gingest (100mg and 200mgs) versus placebo. 0: Not improved or worsened Slightly improved Markedly improved Completely improved |
2-weeks | |
Secondary | Severity of dyspeptic symptoms as measured by subject severity score measured at week-4. | Overall severity of specific suite of dyspeptic symptoms (including epigastric fullness, bloating, early satiety, nausea, vomiting epigastric pain) Absence of symptoms =0 Mild Symptoms = 1 Moderate Symptoms = 2 Severe symptoms = 3 | 4-weeks | |
Secondary | Participant Global Assessment as measured by Participant Global Assessment Score at week-4 | Participant Global Assessment Short Form 36 assesses the overall general mental and physical health. Answers are combined to produce the following. Physical function score= a higher score means better health Role limitation due to physical health Score: a lower score means better health Role limitations due to emotional problems Score: a lower score means better health Energy/ fatigue Score: a lower score means better health Emotional well-being Score: a higher score means better health Social Functioning Score: a higher score means better health Pain Score: a lower score means better health General health Score: a higher score means better health |
4 weeks | |
Secondary | Leeds Dyspepsia Questionnaire as measured by total score at week-4 | Overall score is calculated from subject rating for frequency and severity responses for each symptom of dyspepsia. a summed total score of the frequency and severity responses for each symptom( Indigestion, heartburn, regurgitation, nausea combined) range: 0-32). 0= least severe.32= most severe each symptom = indigestion, regurgitation, heartburn and nausea a summed score of the frequency responses for each symptom (range: 0-16); a summed score of the severity responses for each symptom (range: 0-16); a categorized score of the single most frequent symptom (range: 0-4) and a categorized score of the single most severe symptom (range: 0-4). |

Secondary | Profile of Mood States Questionnaire (POMS) as measured by score at week-4. | Overall score assess changes in mood Not at all= 0 little = 1 Moderately = 2 Quite a lot = 3 Extremely = 4 Answers are combined. Higher the score for negative feelings i.e. tense the worse the mood. Higher the score for positive feelings i.e. Energetic the better the mood. | 4 weeks | |
Secondary | Beck's Depression Inventory as measured by score at week-4. | Overall score indicates severity of depressive symptoms 1-10 = These ups and downs are considered normal 11-16__ Mild mood disturbance 17-20__Borderline clinical depression 21-30_Moderate depression 31-40_Severe depression over 40__________________Extreme depression |

Secondary | Cortisol awakening response (nmol/L) at week-4. | Measures salivary cortisol (nmol/L) | 4 weeks | |
Secondary | Reduction in medication to manage number of episodes requiring medication for dyspeptic symptoms as measured at week-4 | Number of times medication is taken to manage dyspeptic symptoms | 4 weeks | |
Secondary | Safety as assessed by adverse events and serious adverse events ongoing throughout the trial | Number of adverse events and serious adverse events | 4 weeks |
