What sets INTI apart from all other "clean" brands
Kaukani, Le Sans Sucre, YUMI, Maison Meneau — these are good clean brands. But they all have one thing in common: they only contain ginger (and lemon/water). L'Essence d'INTI goes further:
- Cold-pressed Turmeric: a major anti-inflammatory ginger absent from all other listed "clean" brands. Curcumin (the active ingredient in turmeric) is the subject of over 12,000 scientific studies on PubMed.
- Organic black pepper (piperine): multiplies curcumin absorption by 20 (Shoba et al., 1998). Without piperine, turmeric has low bioavailability.
- Organic Cayenne pepper (capsaicin): natural slimming-thermogenesis-weight-loss-shot">thermogenesis, metabolic stimulation without caffeine.
- 100% Belgian and artisanal: made in Meise (Flemish Brabant), not in France or Switzerland.
In summary: other clean brands make clean ginger. INTI makes clean ginger plus a complete anti-inflammatory formula.
