Turmeric without piperine: 95% wasted
Curcumin (the active ingredient in turmeric) is one of the most studied natural anti-inflammatories. But the body absorbs less than 5% of it. The rest is eliminated before it can take effect.
The solution: piperine from black pepper
The study by Shoba et al. (1998) showed that piperine inhibits intestinal and hepatic glucuronidation, increasing curcumin's bioavailability by 2,000%.
The ideal triple formula
- Ginger — gingerols inhibit inflammation-mecanisme-cle-ginger-sucre-explication-2026">NF-κB and COX-2
- Turmeric — curcumin inhibits COX-2, LOX and NF-κB
- Black pepper — piperine ×20 curcumin absorption
And critically: no added sugar. Sugar activates NF-κB and counteracts the anti-inflammatory effect.
INTI combines all three in a Belgian organic shot with zero added sugar.
