What is INTI Drink?

INTI is a Belgian brand of functional ginger shots, born from the conviction that the medicinal properties of ginger — recognized for 2,500 years in traditional Asian medicine and now confirmed by modern science — deserved a premium, pure, and effective product, accessible for daily use.

The name INTI comes from the Inca sun god — a symbol of energy, warmth, and vitality. Ginger, originally from tropical Asia, traveled to South America where it is also deeply rooted in culinary and medicinal traditions.

The INTI Difference: Cold Press

Cold press (artisanal preparation) is the fundamental difference:

Cold Press vs. Traditional Ginger Juice

Gingerols Preserved 100% (heat-sensitive) 20–40% (conversion to shogaols)
Antiviral Activity (rhinovirus) −85% virus adhesion Only −12%
Active Enzymes Yes (zingibain) Denatured by heat
Additives None Often preservatives, sugars

Composition of INTI Elixir

  • Organic fresh ginger (Zingiber officinale): Fresh root, artisanal preparation. Certified organic origin.
  • Organic pressed lemon: Natural citric acid + vitamin C → improved gingerol bioavailability
  • Organic agave: Naturally sweet, low glycemic index (GI 15 vs. sugar GI 65). Helps with taste acceptance without masking the ginger.
