Why GIMBER Calories Are Not "Equivalent"

One might think: "42 kcal per shot, that's not much." The problem is not the volume of calories but their quality and metabolic effect. GIMBER's 42 kcal come from 10.5g of pure sugar which:

  • Cause an insulin spike
  • Inhibit AMPK (the fat-burning mechanism)
  • Activate SREBP-1c (liver fat storage)
  • Create an energy crash 2 hours later

INTI's 5 kcal come from the natural sugars of sugar-free ginger shot with associated fiber → minimal glycemic index, no insulin spike.

Does GIMBER make you fat?

42 kcal per shot alone will not make you fat. But the metabolic effect of sugar (inhibited AMPK, activated SREBP-1c, leptin resistance) can contribute to weight gain in the long term, especially if GIMBER replaces a sugar-free drink.
