How bitter substances help to stimulate your digestion, alleviate digestive problems and promote your health

Spring for the gut. Naturally with bitter substances and enzymes

Spring often brings with it a desire for new lightness, both physically and mentally. However, a sluggish stomach, bloating or flatulence can have a noticeable impact on your well-being. Bitter substances and enzymes from natural sources offer effective and gentle support for your digestion. Without any harmful additives.


Why bitter substances and enzymes are so important for digestion

Digestion begins as a pre-digestion process in the mouth, namely by chewing food. Bitter substances stimulate saliva production there and subsequently also promote the formation of gastric juices and bile. Enzymes in turn help the body to break down food into its components - for better digestion and a pleasant stomach feeling.

Your benefits:

  • Natural stimulation of digestion
  • Improved absorption of nutrients
  • Stomach-friendly support after meals
  • Reduced bloating and less flatulence


Spring cure for stomach and intestines. Back to inner balance

After months of heavy food, a targeted spring cure with bitter substances and enzymes can help to bring the body back into balance. The combination of proven plant extracts and natural enzymes gently supports digestion - ideal for typical complaints such as a sluggish metabolism, tiredness after eating or an unpleasant feeling of pressure in the abdomen.


A tried and tested tip: 

The combination of bitter substances and enzymes from papaya, pineapple or artichoke can be particularly effective.


Frequently asked questions about bitter substances, enzymes & causes of digestive problems

If the gut is not working properly, there are often these typical symptoms and causes

A healthy gastrointestinal tract plays an important role in our daily well-being. If digestion gets out of balance, noticeable symptoms quickly appear. Typical symptoms include constipation, flatulence, a bloated stomach, a feeling of fullness or recurring nausea. Fatigue or skin problems can also be symptoms of a hidden digestive problem.

The cause often lies in a combination of poor diet, lack of exercise, stress or even a disturbed intestinal flora. Some people suffer from irritable bowel syndrome, others from chronic inflammatory bowel diseases. In order to alleviate symptoms, simple measures such as drinking the right amount of water, a diet rich in fiber and the targeted use of bitter substances often help.


What bitter substances do in the body and why they are so valuable

At first glance, bitter substances only have a bitter taste, but their effect on the body is remarkable. They aid digestion, stimulate the production of saliva, bile and stomach acid and thus support the entire gastrointestinal tract.

But they can do even more: bitter substances lead to a faster feeling of satiety, [1] support liver function [2], have an appetite-suppressing effect and can help to regulate gastrointestinal problems holistically. [3]

Bitter foods such as chicory, rocket or artichoke or highly concentrated bitter drops are particularly recommended. They also have a particularly strong effect when combined with essential oils.

If the body lacks bitter substances, this can lead to sluggish digestion, cravings or poorer nutrient absorption in the long term. Supplementing with bitter substances is particularly useful in today's diet, where bitter-tasting foods are rarely found.


How to get your bowels and digestion going again naturally

If you want to stimulate your bowels quickly and naturally, you should rely on tried and tested helpers: Drinking enough water, a diet rich in fiber, daily exercise and targeted bitter substances are considered the best methods.

The use of natural laxatives such as psyllium husks or linseed is particularly helpful. These have a mild but effective effect against constipation. Bitter foods such as grapefruit, endive or ginger also have a noticeable effect. The combination with bitter drops can also greatly support the effect.

It is also important to eat a proper diet that avoids highly processed products. If you eat fresh, healthy food, drink enough fluids and eat bitter stimulants every day, you will naturally get your digestion moving again.


Background knowledge on the function of digestion and which deficiencies can disrupt it

Digestion is a finely tuned process in which the ingested food is broken down in the gastrointestinal tract, split up and absorbed via the intestinal mucosa. Depending on the type of meal, this process takes around six to eight hours; even longer with heavy food.

A lack of stomach acid, digestive enzymes or certain micronutrients can impair the processing of food and lead to digestive problems. Too little fiber, too little liquid or a permanently unbalanced diet can also have a negative effect on intestinal activity.

Especially in the case of gastrointestinal problems, it is worth paying attention to a healthy, balanced diet and specifically supporting the body with digestive bitter substances.


What helps quickly with acute digestive problems?

When constipation, a bloated stomach or a feeling of pressure become acute, many people want to stimulate bowel movements quickly. In addition to natural laxatives, warm drinks, abdominal massages, bitter substances or mild exercise can help.

Bitter drops can start to work shortly after ingestion, especially if they are taken before a meal. The bitter taste activates important receptors that set the entire digestive process in motion.

Essential oils in combination with warming compresses or teas with fennel, caraway and aniseed are also proven helpers. It is important to take the symptoms seriously, but not to immediately resort to aggressive remedies. The gentle power of nature often has the most lasting effect.


Which bitter substances are suitable for digestive problems?

Plants such as artichoke, dandelion, gentian and wormwood have been used for centuries to help with digestive problems.


When is it advisable to take enzymes?

It is best to take enzyme supplements with meals. In this way, they optimally support the breakdown of nutrients.


Is a spring diet really recommended?

Especially after the winter, a targeted, natural cure with bitter substances and enzymes can help to activate the metabolism and regulate digestion again.


Naturally spring-fresh from the inside

With bitter substances and enzymes, you give your body what it especially needs in spring: Lightness, energy and a well-functioning digestion. Whether as a gentle cure or daily support - the effect is both noticeable and natural.
