How to drink INTI Essence: straight shot, diluted, recipes, and dosages

Direct Answer: INTI Essence can be consumed pure (intense 15-30ml shot) or diluted in 100-200ml of water, juice, or sparkling drink. Both methods are effective. The pure shot maximizes absorption ginger-morning-effects-body-routine">on an empty stomach; dilution is preferred if the stomach is sensitive or as a drink throughout the day.

Pure Shot: The Intense Experience

The pure INTI shot is the most popular way to consume it. It adapts to your personal tolerance:

  • Beginners: 10ml pure — moderate ginger, gradual discovery
  • Regulars: 15-20ml pure — standard therapeutic dose
  • Experienced: 25-30ml pure — maximum dose, very pronounced ginger

Tip: After the pure shot, drink a glass of water. This maintains the absorption of gingerols without diluting the initial concentrated effect.

Diluted in water: The daily version

Dilution Water volume Profile
Strong (diluted shot) 50-100ml Intense taste, daily care
Medium (health drink) 150-200ml Balanced, all day long
Light (healthy hydration) 300-500ml Subtle taste, flavored water bottle

At what temperature should INTI be consumed?

Important for preserving benefits:
  • Cold or room temperature: Optimal for preserving gingerols (cold press)
  • Warm (<60°C): Acceptable — moderate heat does not destroy gingerols
  • Boiling (>80°C): To be avoided — gingerols transform into shogaols (modified properties)

In summary

  • Pure shot 15-20ml: maximum absorption, intense taste
  • Diluted in 150-200ml water: daily health drink
  • Cold or warm (<60°C): gingerols preserved
