Herb Pharm Better Bitters Certified Organic Digestive Bitters, Absinthium, 1 Ounce

This is a very effective product from a very reputable manufacturer. It is based on traditional bitter formulations. I found it effective for nausea, reducing phlegm when consuming dairy products, and regular bowel movements. I looked at a lot of the one star reviews and I'm quite chagrined by them. The vast majority referred to the disgusting bitter taste of the product. It literally has the word bitter in the name and the more bitter the better. Bitter is an underrepresented flavor in the American diet and was considered a critical component of healthy diet in many traditional cultures, including India, China, and Europe. One negative reviewer was angry that the product was mostly alcohol. All alcoholic tinctures are mostly alcohol. The amount of a solvent like alcohol is always greater than the amount of the solute dissolved in it. Expect this to not taste good, but if you have any digestive issues that may be helped by bitters, I think the price is well worth the risk to give it a try. And if you're wondering what bitters were thought to good for, here's what ChatGPT says:Traditional European herbalism used bitter herbal formulations, commonly referred to as “bitters,” for a variety of digestive and metabolic concerns. The primary traditional indications for their use included:1. Poor Digestion (Dyspepsia) – Bitters were used to stimulate the production of digestive enzymes and gastric juices, improving overall digestion.2. Loss of Appetite – They were often given to individuals experiencing poor appetite or recovering from illness to encourage eating.3. Sluggish Liver and Bile Flow – Many bitter herbs were considered “cholagogues” or “choleretics,” meaning they stimulated bile flow from the liver and gallbladder, aiding fat digestion and detoxification.4. Bloating and Gas (Flatulence) – By promoting efficient digestion, bitters were thought to reduce fermentation in the gut and relieve bloating and gas.5. Constipation and Sluggish Bowels – Some bitters had a mild laxative effect, encouraging regular bowel movements.6. Acid Reflux and Heartburn – Despite their bitter taste, they were sometimes used to balance stomach acid production and reduce symptoms of reflux.7. General Detoxification – Bitters were believed to support the liver in detoxifying the body and improving skin health.8. Sugar and Craving Regulation – Traditional herbalists recognized that bitters helped regulate blood sugar levels and reduce sugar cravings.Common bitter herbs in European traditions included gentian (Gentiana lutea), wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), yarrow (Achillea millefolium), and chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla). These were often formulated as tinctures, teas, or aperitifs.

All bitters taste….bad but this one is the best tasting of the three I’ve bought.

The product came without any damage and working properly. The taste is fair, not too disagreeable, I recommend that you hold it for 5-10 seconds after 4 sprays before swallowing. I bought this to assist me with gut motility issues, and I while I can't say I've noticed a significant improvement, I haven't had any strange side effects. So far so good, nothing to complain about with this.

My appetite took a hit from fasting for years.I only use 1 spray before I eat. Helps me feel hungry so I can eat more during my meal. The licorice tastes good. I love this stuff. Highly recommend!

such a horrible taste. I was so disappointed. I was using a brand that discontinued theirs and it tasted so good, helped with salivation and curbing cravings while tasting so good. I was hopeful this was gonna be the replacement but I couldn't do it. It was licking bitter dirt or a used up ashtray

This is my new go to for digestive issues. I don’t travel without this!

It may be good may not - I can't tell.
