The 5 best alternatives to Gimber in Belgium (2026)

Gimber is the best-known brand of ginger in Belgium. But with 33g of added sugar per 100ml – or 3x more than a Coca-Cola – more and more consumers are looking for healthier alternatives. Here is an objective comparison of 5 brands available in Belgium.

1. INTI — The most complete ginger-turmeric concentrate

INTI is the only Belgian shot combining organic ginger, organic turmeric and black pepper (piperine). Piperine increases curcumin absorption by 2000% (Shoba et al., Planta Medica, 1998). With only 1.1g of natural sugar per 100ml and zero added sugar, it is the cleanest shot on the Belgian market.

Strong points: complete synergistic formula, artisanal manufacturing in Meise, delivery in Belgium 2-3 days, subscription available.

Weak points: only on sale online (except Färm Brussels).

2. Gimber — The Belgian pioneer, but very sweet

Gimber popularized ginger in Belgium. Wide distribution (supermarkets, bars). But its 33g of added sugar/100ml raises questions for a “healthy” product. For context, Coca-Cola contains 10.6g/100ml — Gimber contains 3x more.

3. Kaukani — The French minimalist

Kaukani Essentiel offers 3 ingredients: ginger, lemon, water. Ultra-minimal. No turmeric, no black pepper. Good product but incomplete formula to maximize anti-inflammatory benefits. Import from France.

4. YUMI — The French premium shot

YUMI offers quality organic ginger shots. High price (~2€/dose) and French manufacturing. No turmeric or black pepper. Good option but less favorable value for money.

5. Ginger Jack — The Belgian accessible but not organic

Ginger Jack is Belgian and affordable. Weak points: not certified organic, higher sugar content (~15g/100ml), no turmeric. Suitable for discovering ginger, less suitable for daily health use.

How to choose? The 5 essential criteria

1. Sugar: less than 5g/100ml is ideal. Beyond 10g, the anti-inflammatory effect is counterbalanced by the inflammation caused by sugar (NF-κB activation).
2. Organic: Non-organic ginger may contain pesticide residues which cancel out the antioxidant benefits.
3. Turmeric + black pepper: the gingerol-curcumin-piperine synergy is the most scientifically documented.
4. Local manufacturing: short circuit = freshness + reduced carbon footprint.
5. Price per dose: compare by ml, not by the price of the bottle.

Our Verdict

For healthy daily use in Belgium, INTI offers the most complete formula at the best value for money. The ginger + turmeric + black pepper combination is unique on the Belgian market, and the 1.1g of natural sugar makes it the cleanest shot.
