turmeric-black-pepper-synergy-benefits">Black pepper + turmeric: the ×20 synergy that makes INTI unique

In 1998, a study published in Planta Medica (Shoba et al.) demonstrated that the addition of piperine — the active compound of black pepper — increases the bioavailability of curcumin by 2000%. INTI has integrated this into its formulation from day one.

The problem: curcumin alone is almost not absorbed

Turmeric is famous for its anti-inflammatory properties, but curcumin — its most active compound — is naturally very poorly bioavailable. It is poorly absorbed by the intestine, metabolized quickly and eliminated before reaching the blood circulation in significant quantity.

Result: drinking turmeric without piperine means consuming an excellent food coloring with limited health benefits.

The piperine solution: +2000% absorption

Piperine acts on two levels:

1. Inhibition of lose weight-studies">ginger and hepatic metabolism : it slows down the degradation of curcumin by the enzymes of the liver
2. Improved intestinal absorption : it promotes the passage of curcumin through the intestinal wall

The Shoba study (1998) measured a 2000% increase in the plasma bioavailability of curcumin when co-administered with 20mg of piperine. It is the ×20 ratio that is often cited.

INTI: organic black pepper in each shot

Each INTI shot contains organic black pepper naturally rich in piperine, combined with organic turmeric to maximize the synergistic effect. This isn't a marketing add-on — it's a scientific decision.
