Digestive Bitters are herbal tincture blends made from bitter herbs, roots, and botanicals. Bitters are a traditional herbal remedy used for centuries to support gut health, stimulate digestive function, and support appetite regulation.*

Before Meals: Take ½ teaspoon 10–15 minutes before meals to prime digestion. The bitter taste signals the digestive system to produce saliva, bile, digestive enzymes, and balance stomach acid – essential for optimal digestion and nutrient absorption.*

After Meals (or anytime!): Fast-acting relief for occasional gas, bloating, heartburn, and upset stomach.*

For Best Results: Take bitters straight on the tongue or in an ounce of plain or sparkling water – you need to taste the bitter flavor to get full effect.

Daily Use: Supports long-term digestive health.*

Our Original Bitters are a well-balanced blend of traditional bitter herbs and warming aromatics. Original is our most bitter flavor, with earthy bitter notes from roots like dandelion, burdock, and gentian, balanced with warming top-notes like fennel and ginger.

The bitter taste can be challenging! Bitters are like the gym for the digestive system — we build strength through challenge. Most find their palate adapts to enjoy the bitter taste with time.

Yes, bitters really work! Bitters help relieve occasional bloating, gas, heartburn, and indigestion, support healthy liver and overall digestive function, help regulate appetite, and keep healthy blood sugar levels within the normal range.*

Our bitters are formulated for efficacy, safety, and palatability. While we generally steer clear of herbs that are widely contraindicated so that most folks can safely use our products, please refer to the “How to Use” section on product pages for product-specific safety information.

Digestive Bitters signal your body to produce its own digestive enzymes. The bitter flavor stimulates the pancreas, gallbladder, and liver to release the gastric juices and enzymes that are vital to digesting food well. Digestive enzyme supplements instead provide an outside source of enzymes to your body.

Bitters and digestive enzyme supplements can be used together as needed, but often people find that bitters help them become less reliant on digestive enzymes.

Our bitters contain roots like burdock and dandelion, which are great sources of prebiotic starches. Prebiotic starches feed the probiotic microorganisms naturally occurring in our guts!

Probiotic supplements seed the gut with external probiotic microorganisms. Alternatively (or in conjunction), we can use food and herbs (like fermented foods and starchy roots) to supply our bodies with prebiotics that support a healthy gut microbiome.

Bitters and probiotic supplements can be used together as needed, but often people find that bitters help them become less reliant on probiotics.

Yes, all of our products are third-party tested for identity verification, microbial contamination, and heavy metal levels within California Prop 65 limits. All of our products are certified organic and are manufactured in GMP-certified facilities.

Additionally, we do in-house testing for organoleptics and quality control on every batch.

Yes, Original Bitters contain cane alcohol as the base for extraction. Alcohol is the best way to extract and preserve the medicinal constituents of the herbal ingredients, and it is a very small serving of alcohol per dose of bitters. If you are looking for alcohol-free bitters, our Cider Vinegar Bitters is a great option and uses apple cider vinegar in place of alcohol.
