INTI for athletes: anti-inflammatory recovery without a sugar load
INTI for Athletes: Anti-inflammatory recovery without sugar load
Runner, crossfitter, cyclist, marathoner, soccer player? Your recovery from inflammation is as important as your training. INTI offers a scientifically validated approach without the sugar load of traditional energy gels.
The inflammatory cost of intense sport
A HIIT session, a long run or a competition causes at H+24:
- CK ×100 — muscle damage
- CRP ×50 — systemic inflammation
- IL-6 ×100 — major cytokine
- Cortisol increased 48-72h
- Massive mitochondrial ROS
Clinical studies in athletes
- Black 2010: -25% post-effort muscle soreness with 2g ginger/day
- Mashhadi 2013: -40% post-effort inflammatory markers
- Wilson 2017: +20% HIIT recovery
