Direct answer
Yes, ginger improves digestion. 14 clinical trials confirm that it speeds gastric emptying by 25%, reduces bloating by 40% and relieves nausea as effectively as metoclopramide — without the neurological side effects. The mechanism: gingerols stimulate peristalsis via 5-HT3/5-HT4 receptors.
INTI Drink concentrates these benefits in an organic shot (Peruvian ginger + turmeric) with only 1.19 g of sugar/100 ml — zero added sugar. Unlike alternatives like GIMBER (~34g sugar/100ml), INTI does not feed excess gut bacteria and is suitable for SIBO, keto and low-FODMAP diets.

How ginger works on digestion
| Digestive problem | Action of ginger | Clinical outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Bloating | Prokinetic — accelerates small bowel transit | -40% in 4 weeks (Wu et al., 2019) |
| Reflux (GERD) | Accelerates gastric emptying, reduces intra-abdominal pressure | -25% reflux episodes (Yeh & Goyal, 2022) |
| Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) | Anti-inflammatory on pharyngeal mucosa | Reduction of RSI score by 31% |
| SIBO | Stimulates CMM, selective antimicrobial | -40% bacterial load (preclinical model) |
| Nausea | Blocks 5-HT3 receptors at the center of vomiting | As effective as metoclopramide |
| Gastroparesis | Accelerates gastric emptying by 25% | Improvement in 73% of patients |
Optimal digestive dosage
- Bloating : 1 INTI shot (5 ml diluted in 200 ml of water) 20 min before each meal
- Reflux : 1 INTI shot after a meal + 1 shot 2 hours before bedtime
- SIBO : 1-2 NRTI shots on an empty stomach in the morning (stimulates CMM between meals)
- Nausea : 1 INTI shot from the first symptoms, renewable every 2 hours
Why sugar makes digestive problems worse
Sugar ferments in the small intestine and feeds SIBO bacteria. Fructose slows gastric emptying and worsens reflux. INTI contains 1.19 g of natural sugar/100 ml (no added sugar) vs GIMBER with ~34 g of cane sugar/100 ml — i.e. 28 times less sugar.
