A “good gut feeling” is largely dependent on a functioning digestive system. As the central interface between food intake and endogenous food utilization, the smooth interaction of all areas involved, such as the oral cavity, esophagus, stomach, liver and pancreas, is essential.
Bloating, heartburn and flatulence can be unpleasant side effects of a dysfunctional digestive tract.
Bitter substances promote and support digestive activity. When our tongue perceives the bitter taste, the glandular activity for the release of digestive juices is stimulated as well as the production of digestive enzymes and intestinal peristalsis. Valuable plants such as yellow gentian, wormwood and dandelion are rich in digestive bitter substances that are rarely consumed regularly in the modern Western diet. Fennel and the medicinal mushroom Hericium erinaceus are used in naturopathy as soothing and regulating agents for complaints in the gastrointestinal tract. The digestive enzymes contained in the BITTER PLUS capsules (amylases, cellulases, lactases, proteases and lipases) support the body’s own enzymes for the utilization of carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
