Please note: Bitters and other supplements are not FDA tested or approved. Some supplements including bitters can interfere with medications and/or cause side effects.  Bitters may relieve, but in some individuals, worsen symptoms so their use must be monitored by your health care provider.  Do not delay seeking medical attention for medical concerns by taking bitters without medical advice. A serious medical condition should be ruled out before considering supplements or bitters for your symptoms.

What Are Digestive Bitters?

Digestive bitters are herbal preparations designed to stimulate digestion by activating bitter taste receptors on the tongue and throughout the digestive tract. Traditionally used in herbal medicine, common bitter herbs include gentian, dandelion, artichoke, and chamomile. These herbs support digestion by increasing digestive secretions and improving overall gastrointestinal motility.
