Ginger and turmeric : the best drink for the joints

Knee pain, stiff hips, osteoarthritis — the ginger is as effective as ibuprofen according to studies, without the side effects.

Scientific evidence

• Altman & Marcussen (2001) — ginger as effective as ibuprofen for knee osteoarthritis
• COX-2 inhibition — same mechanism as ibuprofen
• NF-κB inhibition — reduces chronic joint inflammation
• Cartilage protection — curcumin inhibits MMP enzymes that degrade cartilage
• No gastrointestinal effects — unlike long-term NSAIDs

Knees

Knee osteoarthritis is the most common. Ginger allows long-term daily use without the renal and cardiovascular risks of NSAIDs.

Hips

Coxarthrosis limits mobility. The effect anti-inflammatory ginger + the protection of cartilage by curcumin slows down degradation.

Sugar destroys joints

Glycation degrades cartilage collagen. Sugar activates NF-κB which accelerates joint destruction.

INTI — ginger + turmeric + black pepper, zero sugar. Your joints will thank you.
