Ginger and stress: the natural anti-cortisol shot
40% of Belgians experience chronic high stress (Sciensano 2024). Ginger is one of the few foods with documented effects on the biological mechanisms of stress.
How ginger acts on cortisol
- Inhibition of NF-κB → reduction of stress-related inflammation
- HPA axis modulation → peak cortisol reduced by 22-38% (animal studies)
- Interaction with GABA-A receptors → mild anxiolytic effect
- Serotonin reuptake inhibition → mood stabilization
INTI: the complete anti-stress shot
INTI combines 5 synergistic active ingredients against stress:
| Ingredient | Anti-stress action |
|---|---|
| organic ginger from Peru | Gingerol: anti-inflammatory, cortisol |
| Turmeric | Curcumin: NF-κB, neuroinflammation |
| Organic lemon | Vitamin C: adrenals, oxidative stress |
| Black pepper | Piperine: ×20 curcumin bioavailability |

Anti-stress protocol with INTI
