After-dinner drink: Ginger as a natural alternative to a digestif

Ginger instead of digestif

The after-dinner digestif is a tradition — but scientifically counterproductive. Alcohol slows down digestion. Ginger speeds it up.

Digestif vs. Ginger

Digestif Ginger Shot

Liver ❌ Stresses ✅ Protects
Calories ~100 kcal ~5 kcal
Driving ability ❌ No ✅ Yes

How ginger helps after eating

  • Gastric emptying — speeds up passage by 20-50%
  • Bile production — better fat digestion
  • Carminative — reduces gas formation
  • Anti-bloating — the "full feeling" disappears faster

INTI — Ginger + Turmeric + Black Pepper, zero sugar. The better digestif.
