Ginger and turmeric against osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis affects 500 million people worldwide. Knee, hip, hands, spine. Cartilage degradation and chronic joint inflammation are the central mechanisms.

Action on osteoarthritis

• COX-2 inhibition — reduces joint pain (effectiveness comparable to ibuprofen in meta-analysis)
• Cartilage protection — curcumin inhibits MMPs (enzymes that degrade cartilage)
• NF-κB inhibition — the central inflammatory pathway of osteoarthritis
• IL-1β and TNF-α — reduces cartilage-destroying cytokines
• Chondrocytes — curcumin protects cartilage-producing cells from apoptosis
• Synovial — anti-inflammatory of the synovial membrane

Clinical studies

Several RCTs compare ginger and curcumin favorably to ibuprofen and diclofenac for osteoarthritic pain, with significantly fewer gastric effects.

Sugar accelerates osteoarthritis

Sugar increases AGEs (glycation), cartilage stiffening and joint inflammation. Zero sugar = better protected cartilage.

INTI — ginger + turmeric + black pepper, zero sugar. Protect your joints every day.
