Gentian Bitters

Support for Digestive Strength & Nutrient Absorption

Strong digestion begins with proper signaling.

Gentian Bitters is a traditional bitter herbal formula designed to awaken the digestive process. It supports stomach acid production, bile flow, and enzymatic activity so food can be fully broken down, absorbed, and utilized by the body.

Taken before meals, this formula helps prepare the gastrointestinal tract for digestion, making it an essential tool for individuals with sluggish or compromised digestive function.

How It Works

Bitters stimulate taste receptors on the tongue that send a powerful message to the digestive system: it’s time to digest. Gentian Bitters harnesses this reflex through a synergistic blend of bitter, aromatic, and supportive herbs traditionally used to strengthen digestive capacity.

This formula is designed to help:

• Stimulate gastric and digestive secretions

• Support bile flow and liver–gallbladder function

• Improve nutrient absorption and assimilation

• Reduce digestive stagnation and post-meal heaviness

Each ingredient plays a complementary role in digestive and hepatic support:

• Chinese Gentian Root – A deeply bitter herb that strongly stimulates digestion and bile flow

• Baikal Skullcap Root – Supports inflammatory balance within the GI tract

• Dandelion (Whole Plant) – Encourages liver detoxification and digestive fluid production

• Milk Thistle Seed – Protects and supports liver function

• Lysimachia Herb & Water Plantain Rhizome – Traditionally used to support bile movement and fluid balance

• Plantain Seed – Supports gut lining integrity

• Chinese Angelica Root & White Peony Root – Nourishes and regulates digestive and circulatory function

• Licorice Root – Soothes the GI tract and harmonizes the formula

What a Difference Bitters Make

Gentian Bitters is especially helpful for:

• Sluggish digestion or low appetite

• Bloating or heaviness after meals

• Poor nutrient absorption

• Digestive weakness following illness, stress, or long-term antimicrobial use

How to Use

Traditionally taken 10–20 minutes before meals to prime the digestive system and optimize digestive performance.
