INTI's actual composition
- Organic ginger — for anti-inflammatory [6]-gingerol
- Organic turmeric — for curcumin, a major anti-inflammatory
- Organic black pepper — for piperine, which increases curcumin absorption by 20× (Shoba et al., Planta Medica 1998 study)
- 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's this ginger + turmeric + piperine combination that makes INTI pharmacologically superior to competitors who only have ginger. The synergy is scientifically documented.
