Jacques, 42, Liège, runs 3 times a week. Used to consume Red Bull after training "to keep going" and Diet Coke "because zero sugar". Discovered INTI through his physical therapist.
The INTI ginger shot
Organic ginger and turmeric, black pepper for the piperine, no added sugar. Made in Belgium.
Discover INTI →Result after 6 weeks: "DOMS are really less intense. Red Bull gave me energy for 1 hour then I crashed. INTI is different — it's gentler, but it lasts. I also stopped Coca-Cola Zero after understanding what aspartame does to the microbiome."
What happened biologically: COX-2 ↓ → DOMS -24%, AMPK ↑ → glycolytic recovery, NF-κB ↓ → anti-inflammatory-science-utilisation">turmeric-black-pepper-chronic-pain">reduced chronic natural anti-inflammatory.
Profile 2: Active woman (28-40 years old)
Sarah, 34, Brussels, consultant. Used to consume 2 orange juices a day ("for vitamin C"), Lipton Ice Tea at noon. Moderate monthly menstrual pain.
Result after 4 weeks: "My periods are less painful. I didn't know that the sugar in juices amplified cramps. INTI diluted in hot water on the morning of my period has become my ritual."
What happened biologically: COX-2 ↓ → PGE2 ↓ → reduced cramps. Liquid sugar ↓ → stable insulin → normalized ovarian androgens.
Profile 3: Active senior (60-75 years old)
Henri, 67, Ghent, active retiree (golf, walking). Used to consume orange juices and Spa Fruit daily. Early knee osteoarthritis, recurrent afternoon fatigue.
Result after 8 weeks: "My knee hurts less, especially after walking. I'm less tired in the afternoon. My wife says I'm in a better mood. I stopped juices and I feel better."
What happened biologically: Liquid sugar ↓ → stable ginger blood sugar → no afternoon dip. COX-2/PGE2 ↓ → improved symptomatic osteoarthritis.
Profile 4: Responsible parent
Marie, 38, Namur, mother of 3 children. Buys Capri-Sun and Fanta for her children. Reads a study on E110 (Fanta) and starts looking for alternatives.
Result: INTI diluted to 20ml/400ml water for her 8 and 12-year-old children. "At first they grimaced, but now they ask for it. My eldest says it's 'spicy and cool'. The school canteen only offers sodas or juices — INTI at home made up for it."

- Transparency: short ingredient list, 100% legible
- Belgian: support an independent local business
FAQ — Why choose INTI
How long before you truly no longer crave soda? On average 2-4 weeks of transition. The palate gradually re-educates itself — the preference for very sweet naturally decreases.
Is INTI expensive compared to sodas? An INTI shot diluted in 400ml of water = approximately €0.50-0.70 for a large serving. Comparable to a good quality soda, with active benefits.
