Ginger and arthritis: relieve joint pain naturally

Arthritis affects around 1 in 5 Belgians over the age of 50. Ginger is one of the best-researched natural anti-inflammatories for joint pain. Here's what the science says — no exaggeration.

Mechanism: NF-κB and COX-2

[6]-gingerol in ginger simultaneously inhibits NF-κB (central regulator of chronic inflammation) and COX-2 (enzyme that produces pro-inflammatory prostaglandins) — the same targets as ibuprofen, but naturally.

Validated clinical studies

• Altman & Marcussen (2001), n=261 — significant reduction in pain and WOMAC score in osteoarthritis of the knee
• Meta-analysis Bartels (2015), n=593 — superior to placebo, better profile than NSAIDs
• Grzanna (2005) — double inhibition NF-κB + COX-2 demonstrated

The INTI synergy: ginger + turmeric + piperine

INTI is the only Belgian organic ginger elixir combining the three anti-inflammatory active ingredients:

• Organic ginger Peru → [6]-gingerol, NF-κB/COX-2 inhibitor
• Organic turmeric Peru → curcuminoids, synergistic with gingerol
• Organic black pepper → piperine, ×20 on curcumin absorption (Shoba 1998)
