In 1998, a study published in Planta Medica (Shoba et al.) demonstrated that adding piperine — the active compound in black pepper — increases curcumin bioavailability by 2000%. INTI incorporated it into its formula from day one.

The problem: curcumin alone is barely 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, rapidly metabolized, and eliminated before reaching the bloodstream in significant quantities.

The result: drinking turmeric without piperine is like consuming an excellent food coloring with limited health benefits.

The piperine solution: +2000% absorption

Piperine acts on two levels:

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

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

INTI: organic black pepper in every shot

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