These three ingredients aren't random — they form a precise pharmacological synergy. Piperine multiplies curcumin bioavailability by 2000%.
The Problem With Curcumin Alone
Less than 1% of ingested curcumin reaches the bloodstream. The liver metabolizes it before it can act.
The Solution: Piperine
Shoba et al. (1998) in Planta Medica showed piperine increases curcumin bioavailability by 2000% by inhibiting hepatic glucuronidation.
The Triple Synergy
| Ingredient | Active | Target | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ginger | 6-gingerol | NF-κB, COX-2, 5-HT3 | Primary anti-inflammatory |
| Turmeric | Curcumin | NF-κB (translocation), Nrf2 | Complementary anti-inflammatory |
| Black pepper | Piperine | Hepatic glucuronidation | Bioavailability multiplier (×20) |
Double NF-κB Attack
- Gingerol inhibits IKKβ (prevents NF-κB activation)
- Curcumin blocks NF-κB nuclear translocation
Two different attack points = more complete inhibition than either alone.
INTI is the only Belgian formula combining all three in optimized proportions, with just 1.1g sugar.
One ingredient is good. Three that work synergistically is pharmacology.
