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
