GIMBER alternative: why INTI is the healthier choice

Do you like GIMBER but realize that ~35g of sugar per 100ml is enormous? Are you looking for an alternative that is Belgian, organic, with a pharmacologically superior formula? The answer is INTI.

GIMBER in 2 figures

• ~35g sugar / 100ml (concentrated cane sugar)
• ~140 kcal / 100ml

INTI in 2 figures

• <1.19g sugar/100ml (natural residual sugars, 0% added)
• ~10 kcal / 100ml

The scientific problem with GIMBER

Sugar activates NF-kB → cancels the anti-inflammatory effect of [6]-gingerol. Also: GIMBER contains no turmeric or black pepper, so no piperine synergy.

The real composition of INTI

• Organic ginger — for the anti-inflammatory [6]-gingerol
• Organic turmeric — for curcumin, an important anti-inflammatory agent
• Organic black pepper — for piperine, which multiplies the absorption of curcumin by 20× (Shoba et al., Planta Medica 1998)
• Organic lemon — natural vitamin C, acid-base balance
• Organic cayenne pepper — for capsaicin, vasodilating and thermogenic
• Organic erythritol — natural polyol sweetener: sweet taste without calories, without glycemic peak, without NF-kB activation

It is this ginger + turmeric + piperine combination that makes INTI pharmacologically superior to competitors that only contain ginger. The synergy is scientifically documented.

Organic erythritol: the secret to sweet taste without sugar

Erythritol is a natural polyol (present in fruit, wine, mushrooms). Properties:

• 0 calories (0 kcal/g, compared to 4 kcal/g for sugar)
• Glycemic index = 0 (does not affect blood sugar)
• Does NOT activate NF-kB (unlike sugar)
• Is not metabolized by oral bacteria → no cavity effect
• 70% of the sweetness of sugar with a clean taste
• Very well tolerated at the intestinal level

FAQ

Does INTI taste the same as GIMBER?

No. GIMBER is dominated by sugar + ginger. INTI has a more complex taste: ginger, turmeric, lemon, cayenne pepper, black pepper, with natural sweetness from erythritol.

Is organic erythritol healthy?

Yes. Polyol naturally present in fruit. 0 calories, GI=0, does not activate NF-kB, does not feed cavity bacteria. Approved by EFSA and FDA.

Is INTI organic certified?

Yes, EU organic certified. All ingredients are organic.
