The climber's tendon insurance: ginger
Climbing is a tendon sport. A2 and A4 pulleys, forearm flexors, rotator cuffs — all under extreme load. One pop and your season is over. Daily anti-inflammatory is the best insurance.
Climbing-specific benefits
- Finger pulleys — the most feared climbing injury; daily COX-2 anti-inflammatory reduces micro-inflammation before it becomes a rupture
- Forearm tendinitis — medial epicondylitis from crimping; anti-inflammatory protection
- Shoulder stability — rotator cuff under massive asymmetric loads
- Skin healing — flappers and splits heal faster with reduced inflammation
- Session recovery — climbing demands high frequency; faster recovery = more sessions
- No weight gain — zero sugar, zero calories; weight matters in climbing
Competition protocol
1 shot before warm-up (vasodilation primes tendons). 1 shot after last attempt (recovery initiation).
Injury prevention vs. treatment
Daily anti-inflammatory prevents the accumulation of micro-damage that leads to chronic tendinopathy. Prevention is 10× cheaper than surgery.
INTI — ginger + turmeric + black pepper, zero sugar. Protect your pulleys, send harder.
