Gimber Has 34g Sugar Per 100ml — More Than 3× Coca-Cola

Gimber is frequently recommended as a "healthy alternative" to soft drinks. But have you actually checked the nutritional label? The official numbers from gimber.com tell a surprising story.

The Official Numbers

Gimber N°1 Original concentrate nutritional values (source: gimber.com):

• Per 10ml serving: 3.4g sugar
• Per 100ml concentrate: 34g sugar

Drink	Sugar per 100ml
Gimber N°1 concentrate	34g
Coca-Cola	10.6g
Fanta Orange	9.1g
Orange Juice	8.4g
INTI ginger shot	0g added

Gimber concentrate contains over 3× more sugar than Coca-Cola.

The Ingredient List

Gimber N°1 Original ingredients (source: gimber.com):

1. 33% Ginger (organic)
2. Cane sugar (organic)
3. Lemon (organic)
4. Water
5. Spices (organic)

Cane sugar is the second ingredient — right after ginger. By weight, sugar is a massive component of the formula.

"But You Dilute It"

Gimber recommends diluting 20-30ml in 200ml of liquid. Even diluted, one serving contains 6.8 to 10.2g of sugar — comparable to a glass of Coca-Cola. Every day, 365 days a year.

The Scientific Problem

If you're buying Gimber for ginger's anti-inflammatory benefits, the sugar creates a biochemical contradiction:

• Sugar activates gingembre-sucre-explication-2026">NF-κB — the exact pathway ginger suppresses
• Sugar causes insulin resistance — ginger improves insulin sensitivity
• Sugar feeds pathogenic gut bacteria — ginger has prebiotic benefits
• Sugar increases oxidative cortisol-calmer-naturellement-2026">stress — gingerols are antioxidants

The Sugar-Free Alternative

INTI is a Belgian organic ginger shot with zero added sugar. No cane sugar in the ingredients. Formula: fresh organic ginger, turmeric, black pepper (2,000% curcumin absorption), lemon. All organic.

The difference is fundamental: INTI is designed for health efficacy. Gimber is a sugar-sweetened ginger syrup designed for taste and mixology.
