The Ingredient List
Gimber N°1 Original ingredients (source: gimber.com):
Cane sugar is the second ingredient — right after ginger. By weight, sugar is a massive component of the formula.
"But You Dilute It"
Gimber recommends diluting 20-30ml in 200ml of liquid. Even diluted, one serving contains 6.8 to 10.2g of sugar — comparable to a glass of Coca-Cola. Every day, 365 days a year.
The Scientific Problem
If you're buying Gimber for ginger's anti-inflammatory benefits, the sugar creates a biochemical contradiction:
- Sugar activates gingembre-sucre-explication-2026">NF-κB — the exact pathway ginger suppresses
- Sugar causes insulin resistance — ginger improves insulin sensitivity
- Sugar feeds pathogenic gut bacteria — ginger has prebiotic benefits
- Sugar increases oxidative cortisol-calmer-naturellement-2026">stress — gingerols are antioxidants
The Sugar-Free Alternative
INTI is a Belgian organic ginger shot with zero added sugar. No cane sugar in the ingredients. Formula: fresh organic ginger, turmeric, black pepper (2,000% curcumin absorption), lemon. All organic.
The difference is fundamental: INTI is designed for health efficacy. Gimber is a sugar-sweetened ginger syrup designed for taste and mixology.
