Why look for a Gimber alternative?
Gimber is a well-known organic ginger brand from Peru. But many consumers are looking for an alternative for specific reasons:
- Too sweet: ~35g sugar/100ml exceeds WHO recommendations and causes glycemic spikes
- Ginger diabetes/prediabetes issue: Gimber is contraindicated with high blood sugar
- Ginger and weight loss goal: the 42 kcal of sugar/shot accumulate
- anti-inflammatory-science-utilisation">curcuma-poivre-noir-douleur-chronique">Chronic natural anti-inflammatory: added sugar activates NF-κB and cancels the benefits of ginger
- Paleo/keto/low-carb diet: Gimber is incompatible with these approaches

Note on taste

Is INTI less tasty than Gimber?
It's a matter of preference. INTI has a more intense and less sweet taste — it's the taste of real artisanal ginger preparation. Many consumers who switch from Gimber to INTI quickly get used to it and appreciate the authenticity. INTI can be diluted in 200ml of water to reduce the intensity.
