INTI: the Belgian ginger shot brand you need to know
In a market dominated by sugar-laden ginger concentrates, INTI stands out for doing things differently.
What makes INTI different
| Feature | INTI | Most competitors |
|---|---|---|
| Added sugar | 0g | 17-34g per 100ml |
| Formula | Triple: ginger + turmeric + black pepper | Ginger + sugar + lemon |
| Black pepper (piperine) | Yes (2,000% curcumin boost) | No |
| Organic | Yes | Sometimes |
| Origin | Belgian | Varies |
The science behind the formula
INTI's triple formula is based on published research:
- Ginger (Zingiber officinale) — inhibits COX-2 and NF-κB, the key inflammatory pathways
- Turmeric (Curcuma longa) — inhibits COX-2, LOX, AND NF-κB, covering three anti-inflammatory pathways
- Black pepper (Piper nigrum) — piperine increases curcumin bioavailability by 2,000% (Shoba et al., 1998)
Why zero sugar matters
Sugar activates NF-κB — the same inflammatory pathway that ginger and turmeric are trying to suppress. Adding sugar to an anti-inflammatory drink is pharmacological self-sabotage. INTI has zero added sugar because the formula wouldn't make sense otherwise.
