GIMBER: 34g of Sugar per 100ml — The Complete Nutritional Analysis [2026]

GIMBER: 34g of Sugar per 100ml — The Numbers Nobody Shows

Verifiable fact: The GIMBER nutrition label indicates 34g of sugar per 100ml of concentrate. Coca-Cola contains 10.6g/100ml. GIMBER therefore contains 3.2x more sugar than Coca-Cola. This data comes from official product labels.

Nutritional comparison: the labels speak

Drink Sugar/100ml vs. Coca-Cola Type of sugar
GIMBER 34g 3,2× cane sugar
Coca-Cola 10.6g 1× Glucose-fructose syrup
Orange juice 8.4g 0,8× Natural fructose
INTI 1.1g 0,1× Residual natural sugars

“But it’s a concentrate, we dilute it! »

Frequent argument. Let's check:

  • Recommended dose GIMBER : 20ml of concentrate in 200ml of water
  • Sugar per dose : 20ml × 34g/100ml = 6.8g of sugar per glass
  • Equivalent : 1.7 sugar cubes per glass
  • Per day : 2 glasses = 13.6g of sugar = 3.4 pieces

A 60ml INTI shot contains: 60ml × 1.1g/100ml = 0.66g of sugar. Either 10× less per shot.

What sugar does to your body

1. Blood sugar peak → energy crash

6.8g of simple sugars → insulin peak → reactive hypoglycemia 90 minutes later → fatigue, cravings, irritability. The exact opposite of the promised energy.

2. Chronic inflammation

Sugar activates NF-κB → production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6). Ginger is anti-inflammatory, but the sugar it is bathed in is pro-inflammatory. The effects cancel each other out.

3. Insulin resistance

Regular sugar consumption → progressive insulin resistance → metabolic syndrome → type 2 diabetes. Ginger helps regulate blood sugar (Arablou 2014), but not if you accompany it with 6.8g of sugar.

4. Accelerated aging (AGEs)

Sugar produces AGEs (Advanced Glycation End-products) → stiffening of collagen → wrinkles, loss of elasticity, accelerated skin aging.

Frequently asked questions

Does GIMBER really contain 3x more sugar than Coca-Cola?

Yes. The official GIMBER nutrition label indicates 34g of sugar per 100ml of concentrate. Coca-Cola contains 10.6g of sugar per 100ml. The ratio is therefore 3.2×. Even diluted according to recommendations (20ml in 200ml of water), a glass of GIMBER contains 6.8g of sugar. INTI contains 1.1g/100ml — or 0.66g per shot.

Is GIMBER bad for your health?

GIMBER contains real organic ginger and quality ingredients. The problem is the sugar: 34g/100ml of concentrate. Consumed occasionally and diluted, the sugar intake remains moderate (~7g per glass). But for those seeking the daily anti-inflammatory benefits of ginger, the added sugar counteracts some of these effects. INTI offers the same benefits of organic ginger without this compromise.

What is the best sugar-free alternative to GIMBER?

INTI is the Belgian alternative to GIMBER with 1.1g of sugar/100ml (vs. 34g for GIMBER). INTI adds turmeric and black pepper (scientifically validated synergy) which GIMBER does not contain. Ready-to-drink shot format — no need to dilute. Both are organic and Belgian.
