Digestive bitters are foods and herbs that improve your digestion by stimulating your digestive system to produce digestive enzymes, they improve the function of your digestive organs such as your liver, and gall bladder, and promote bile production and bile flow to enhance your gut health. Adding digestive bitters to your diet can help relieve indigestion, soothe occasional heartburn and nausea, lower blood sugar levels, reduce your food cravings and your appetite, and support your liver function. When you taste bitterness, a nerve signal reaches your brain, which triggers the vagus nerve to stimulate your entire digestive system from your salivary glands to your stomach, pancreas, liver, and intestines. Digestive bitters can also change the PH level of your stomach, which stimulates the gall bladder to release bile into your digestive tract. Bile helps to break down fats and aids the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
Digestive bitters also stimulate the valves at the beginning and end of your stomach to close, which helps reduce acid reflux. When your digestive system detects bitterness, it secretes hormones into your bloodstream to slow the passage of food through your system, which makes you feel full longer and curb your food cravings. This helps promote weight loss. Taking digestive bitters before a meal stimulates the digestive system to produce hydrochloric acid, pancreatic enzymes, and bile. They can also help relieve gas, bloating, and indigestion. Digestive bitters can also help lower blood sugar levels by improving the body cells to utilize insulin more efficiently. The ideal timeframe to take digestive bitters is right before a meal, or about 10 minutes before you start eating. You can put about ¼ tsp of digestive bitters on your tongue and hold them in your mouth for about 10-15 seconds until your mouth starts to salivate.
