FAQ
Can anyone participate? Because this study is focused on filters not easily available in the USA, we are limiting participation to those in the United States.
Is this really free?
Yes—our partner brands donated the samples. We never upsell or share your info.
What if I react badly?
Stop using that product and note it in the review—your data still counts.
Privacy?
Reviews and surveys are stored under an alphanumeric study ID. Shipping data lives in a separate, access-controlled sheet and is deleted after kits go out.
I’m not a natural redhead but burn like one—can I join?
For this pilot we’re limiting enrollment to people with natural red shade hair.
Stay tuned for surveys for those who have redhead genes but don't have red hair!!
Alpha Version of Ginger Science is FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY.
This version of the Ginger Science Agent uses LLMs to analyze data. However, LLMs are still not reliable for real scientific analysis. You may find hallucinations or incorrect citations. Our beta, which obviates these issues with verifiable knowledge graphs, is in active development.
Do not rely on this app for medical or scientific purposes.
Redheads are different.
The MC1R gene influences not just hair color, but pain tolerance, inflammation, vitamin D processing, and even aging!
Redheads are genetically unique -- and that means our health, longevity and biology are not served by the one-size-fits-all model.
Until now, redheads were overlooked.
We're here to change that.
How does MC1R affect longevity and wellness?
How do our unique genetics affect aging, metabolism, inflammation, and more?
What do redheads need to thrive?
Our AI-driven research uncovers new insights into redhead health and longevity.
Personalized wellness
Innovation offers the redhead community the opportunity to personalize their health and care.
We know we're special.
It's time we treated ourselves that way.
