How much sugar in GIMBER? (~34g/100ml) — vs NRTI (1.19g)
How much sugar in GIMBER? The truth about composition
You ask yourself the question before buying GIMBER: how much sugar does it really contain? Here is the factual answer, based on official information from the gimber.com website.
The sugar content of GIMBER: ~34g per 100ml
GIMBER N°1 Original contains about 34 grams of sugar per 100ml. This sugar is organic cane sugar — it is added sugar, not sugar naturally present in the ingredients.
To give you an idea:
| Drink (100ml) | Sugar |
|---|---|
| GIMBER N°1 Original | ~34g |
| Pure cane sugar syrup | ~65g |
| Coca-Cola | 10.6g |
| Orange juice | ~8g |
| Apple juice | ~10g |
| INTI Drink | 1.19g |
GIMBER is approximately 3x sweeter than Coca-Cola at equal concentration.
Why is GIMBER so sweet?
The composition of GIMBER N°1 Original according to gimber.com: 33% organic ginger, organic cane sugar, organic lemon, water, organic spices.
Cane sugar comes as the second ingredient (after ginger). It plays a role as a natural preservative and softens the very intense taste of ginger. It's a deliberate choice of wording — GIMBER is designed to be accessible to the general public, with a sweet taste that "tames" ginger.
It's not a problem...unless
The sugar in GIMBER may not be a problem for everyone. If you consume 1 or 2 15ml shots per day, that's around 5-10g of sugar — acceptable as part of a balanced diet.
On the other hand, GIMBER poses a concrete problem for:
- Keto/ketogenic diet : incompatible — too much sugar
- Intermittent fasting : breaks the fast (sugar + calories)
- Diabetes/prediabetes : direct glycemic impact
- Consumption per tablespoon (as some do): rapid sugar rush
- People who strictly monitor their sugar intake
The alternative: INTI — 1.19g sugar, 0 added sugar
INTI was formulated based on a different principle: no added sugar. The 1.19g of sugar present in INTI comes exclusively from Sicilian lemon juice — natural, inevitable sugar.
Instead of sugar, INTI usesEuropean organic erythritol :
- Glycemic index: 0
- Calories: 0.24 kcal/g (almost zero)
- No insulinemic impact
- Keto compatible, diabetes, intermittent fasting
