Swedish Bitter Large (195g)

Pros

• Core Digestive Support:
• Swedish Bitters is primarily used to stimulate digestive function. The bitter compounds in the formula trigger taste receptors in the mouth, which stimulate saliva production and release digestive enzymes, hydrochloric acid, and bile
• This improves protein breakdown, nutrient absorption, and peristalsis, relieving symptoms such as gas, bloating, heartburn, indigestion, constipation, and abdominal cramps
• Herbs like senna, rhubarb root, aloe, and angelica contribute to its gentle laxative and carminative effects
• Liver and Detoxification Support:
• Several ingredients, including Cape Aloe, Chinese Rhubarb, and Carline Thistle, support liver detoxification and bile flow, helping remove toxins from the body and promote healthy metabolic function
• Regular use may enhance elimination through bowels, urine, sweat, and lymphatic pathways, aiding systemic cleansing
• Anti-inflammatory and Immune Support:
• The bitter herbs in Swedish Bitters, such as myrrh, turmeric, and angelica, have anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce tissue inflammation, support wound healing, and alleviate mild joint discomfort
