Organic Botanical Bitters

What are Bitters?  Bitters are infused herbs and spices with a bitter taste that are placed on your tongue before or after a meal.  The bitterness activates our digestive system. In today’s modern times, the foods we consume are often filled with high sugar and salt, lacking the stimulating digestive work of bitterness, which is vital to our health. As we know, a healthy gut is key. Long ago, wild bitter salad greens were served before meals to serve a preparational purpose. Since then, those bitter greens have been replaced with iceberg lettuce drowned in artificial dressing. The modern salad has lost its original purpose. Adding bitters before or after meals can alleviate indigestion, help reduce sugar cravings, soothe occasional heartburn, nausea, reflux, and even support the liver. Our organic Botanical Bitters are potent! The strong taste alone activates our bodies by triggering our digestive system, from increasing saliva to stimulating our stomach, pancreas, liver, and intestines. This awakening, yet soothing action aids in the better breakdown of food. While some bitters are separated between digestive and cocktail bitters, we formulated the best of both worlds to deliver a dual-purpose botanical!

Bitters have been used for centuries around the world. In England, they were a go-to hangover remedy, while early Americans added them to cocktails. In Germany, aromatic bitters were created to boost appetite and support digestion, helping keep troops energized and ready to march. Their original recipe is proprietary, and they won’t reveal whether or not they use artificial ingredients or colors (it’s color is quite red), causing us to question the ingredients we are actually consuming with their famed formula. 

Today, bitters are gaining popularity as a natural alternative to GI cocktails, providing antacid relief without the harmful side effects of lidocaine. Our Botanical Bitters are made with whole herbs (never isolates), freshly-ground spices, and ZERO dyes or artificial ingredients.  We never use “natural flavors” or “proprietary ingredients” because our herbs ARE the flavor. We have no hidden ingredients. Ever.
