Bitters

Bitters inherently turn on the digestive processes.

What are Bitters?

  • Bitters are a complex blend of spices, botanicals, fruits, roots, or barks that taste bitter and are used to support digestion and overall gut health. 
  • Receptors for bitter cover the back of the tongue, and are also found in the lungs, ovaries, pancreas, and other tissues.
  • Various forms of bitters offer liposomal nutritional support.
  • Ingredients contributing to bitters include milk thistle, eggplant, orange, and melon.

Benefits of Bitters

There are some bitter herbs that are more targeted for supporting the movement of bile and toxins from the liver and out through the gallbladder. 

The receptors for bitters can trigger numerous biological processes, and this includes the regulation of blood sugar and the activation of the immune system in response to infections.

Orange Bitters

Oranges provide a rich supply of hesperidin and 60 other flavonoids, as well as pectin fiber, making them nutritional powerhouses. 

Research demonstrates that oranges and their compounds powerfully boost eye, heart, kidney, and immune health.
