Traditional bitter herbs that stimulate digestive secretions before meals.

How to Use

Take 15-30 drops of gentian root tincture in a small amount of water, 15-30 minutes before meals.

Why It Works

Bitter compounds stimulate taste receptors on the tongue that trigger the release of digestive enzymes, bile, and stomach acid, preparing the body for digestion.

Fermented Foods

Good Evidence

How to Use

Include 1-2 servings of fermented foods daily: yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, miso, or kombucha.
