Turmeric alone: 95% loss
Turmeric is one of the most studied natural anti-inflammatories. But it has a huge flaw: your body absorbs less than 5% of it. The rest is eliminated before it can take effect.
The bioavailability problem
Curcumin (turmeric's active ingredient) undergoes rapid glucuronidation in the intestine and liver-detox-hepatoprotecteur-nettoyage-mythe-realite-2026">liver. As a result, almost all of it is converted into inactive metabolites before reaching the bloodstream-vasodilatateur-2026">bloodstream.
Taking turmeric in capsules, powder, or drinks WITHOUT piperine is like pouring water into a leaky bucket. The product exists, but the effect is minimal.
The solution: piperine from black pepper
The Shoba et al. (1998) study demonstrated that piperine inhibits intestinal and hepatic glucuronidation, increasing curcumin's bioavailability by 2,000%. Twenty times more active curcumin in your blood.
The ideal triple formula
- Ginger — anti-inflammatory gingerols (COX-2, NF-κB)
- Turmeric — anti-inflammatory-guide-complet-gingembre-curcuma-2026">anti-inflammatory curcumin (COX-2, LOX, NF-κB)
- Black pepper — piperine ×20 curcumin absorption
And most importantly: no added sugar. Sugar activates NF-κB, canceling the anti-inflammatory effect.
INTI combines all three ingredients in an organic Belgian shot with zero added sugar. The only formula that gives turmeric its full effectiveness.
