- Aid in relieving bloating, gas, heartburn, cramps, and constipation, often after heavy meals
- Promote regular bowel movements while improving nutrient absorption and gut motility
- Help regulate appetite and may reduce sweet cravings by activating gut receptors that influence hormones like GLP-1 and ghrelin

- Increases bile production, which aids in fat digestion and toxin elimination
