Homemade ginger shot recipe vs. INTI: an honest comparison

Make your own ginger shot or buy an organic concentrate? Here's an honest comparison of the two approaches — cost, effectiveness, practicality and conservation.

Detailed comparison

Criterion Homemade INTI Essence
Cost/dose ~0,30-0,50€ ~0,70-1€
Preparation time 15-20 mins + cleaning 10 seconds (pour)
Gingerol concentration Variable (depends on method) Standardized, high concentration
Turmeric + black pepper Possible (add yourself) Included in the formula
Organic certification Depends on ingredients purchased Certified organic (BE-BIO-02)
Preservation 3-5 days in the fridge Several months
Daily regularity Difficult to maintain Easy (always ready)
Waste Fibers, pulp to throw away Zero waste

Homemade recipe (if you want to try)

Ingredients for ~5 doses

  • 100g fresh organic ginger (unpeeled if organic)
  • 2 organic lemons (juice)
  • 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder
  • 1 pinch of ground black pepper
  • 100ml of water

Method

  1. Wash and cut the ginger into pieces
  2. Mix with water and lemon juice
  3. Filter through a fine sieve or vegetable milk bag
  4. Add turmeric and black pepper, mix well
  5. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days

Why many switch to concentrate

The reality: Making a homemade shot every day takes discipline. Most people last 1-2 weeks and then give up. The effectiveness of ginger is based on the daily regularity — 4 to 6 weeks minimum for cumulative effects (anti-inflammatory, metabolic).

INTI concentrate eliminates friction: 10 seconds, same dose every day, long shelf life, optimized formula with turmeric and black pepper.

INTI — Consistency without effort

Same effectiveness as a homemade shot. In 10 seconds. Each day.
