The real composition of INTI

• Organic ginger — for the anti-inflammatory [6]-gingerol
• Organic turmeric — for curcumin, an important anti-inflammatory
• Organic black pepper — for piperine, which multiplies curcumin absorption by 20× (Shoba et al., Planta Medica 1998)
• Organic lemon — natural vitamin C, acid-base balance
• Organic cayenne pepper — for capsaicin, vasodilator and thermogenic
• Organic erythritol — natural polyol sweetener: sweet taste without calories, without glycemic peak, without NF-kB activation

It is this ginger + turmeric + piperine combination that makes INTI pharmacologically superior to competitors that only contain ginger. The synergy is scientifically documented.

Organic erythritol: the secret to sweet taste without sugar

Erythritol is a natural polyol (present in fruits, wine, mushrooms). Properties:

• 0 calories (0 kcal/g, vs 4 kcal/g for sugar)
• Glycemic index = 0 (does not affect blood sugar)
• Does NOT activate NF-kB (unlike sugar)
• Not metabolized by oral bacteria → no cavity effect
• 70% of sugar's sweetness with a clean taste
• Very well tolerated at an intestinal level
