5 Quality Criteria for Ginger Shots
- Sugar content under 5g/100ml — Above this, NF-κB activation counteracts anti-inflammatory benefits (Mauro et al., 2011)
- Turmeric/curcumin included — Synergistic anti-inflammatory with ginger via dual NF-κB modulation
- Black pepper/piperine — Without it, curcumin bioavailability is below 1% (Shoba et al., 1998)
- Organic certification — Concentrated extracts concentrate pesticides too. Organic eliminates this risk
- Concentrated format — Dilutable concentrates offer 10-15× better value than single-serve bottles
Price Per Serve: The Real Comparison
Single-serve ginger shots (60ml) typically cost €2.50-4.00 in European shops. Concentrated formats like INTI deliver the same active ingredients in 30ml at €1.00-1.50 — often with higher actual ginger content per serve.
Shipping Across Europe
Most brands ship within their home country cheaply but charge €8-15 for cross-border EU shipping. Look for brands with flat-rate EU shipping or free shipping thresholds. INTI ships across Europe from Belgium.
