Gimber Composition: 34g of Sugar per 100ml — What the Label Reveals

Gimber is often recommended as a "alternative healthy" to sodas. But have you really read the label? Official figures, as reported on the website gimber.com, tell a different story.

Gimber Official Figures N°1 Original

Here are the official nutritional values of Gimber N°1 Original concentrate, directly from gimber.com:

• Sugar: 3.4g per 10ml serving
• Either 34g of sugar for 100ml of concentrate

To put this number into perspective:

Drink	Sugar per 100ml
Gimber N°1 concentrate	34g
Coca-Cola	10.6g
Fanta Orange	9.1g
Orange juice	8.4g
INTI ginger-comparatif-opinion-top-2026">ginger shot	0g added

Gimber concentrate contains more than 3 times more sugar than Coca-Cola.

The Ingredient List

The ingredients of Gimber N°1 Original, in order (source: gimber.com):

1. 33% organic ginger
2. Organic cane sugar
3. Organic lemon
4. Water
5. Organic spices

The cane sugar is the second ingredient — just after ginger. In terms of weight, sugar makes up a massive portion of the formula.

The Scientific Problem

Many people buy Gimber for ginger's anti-inflammatory properties. But sugar is one of the most powerful inflammation activators:

• Sugar activates NF-κB — exactly the inflammatory pathway that ginger is believed to inhibit
• Sugar causes insulin resistance — while ginger improves insulin sensitivity
• Sugar feeds pathogenic bacteria — while ginger has beneficial prebiotic effects
• Sugar increases the cortisol-calm-naturally-2026">oxidative stress — while gingerols are antioxidants

This is a total contradiction: ginger and sugar oppose each other on each mechanism of action.

“But we dilute it”

Gimber recommends diluting 20-30ml in 200ml of liquid. Even diluted, one serving contains 6.8 to 10.2g of sugar — the equivalent of 1.7 to 2.5 cubes of sugar per glass. Each day. 365 days a year.

The Sugar-Free Alternative

INTI is a ginger shot Belgian organic with zero sugar added. Its formula:

• Concentrated organic fresh ginger
• Turmeric organic
• turmeric-2026">Organic black pepper (turmeric absorption ×2,000%)
• Organic lemon
• No added sugar

Unlike Gimber, INTI does not contain cane sugar in its ingredients. It's a health shot, not a sugary ginger syrup.
