Description
This version of Canadian Bitters is coupled with all the benefits of apple cider vinegar, which provides proper acid-base balance, is antimicrobial, relieves oxidative stress, and is antihyperglycemic.
Heartburn, indigestion, constipation, and bloating are all common symptoms of sluggish or compromised digestion. Digestive prompting can come from something today’s diets often lack: bitter flavours. These stimulate the vagus nerve in the mouth, which ultimately results in the production of saliva, gastric juices, enzymes, and bile–crucial elements of healthy digestion.
Bitters also help the nervous system to shift into “rest and digest” mode (rather than “fight or flight”), which allows for optimal digestion.
Improving the digestion in this way has numerous benefits:
- Helps eliminate digestive upset such as gas, bloating, and heartburn.
- Greater absorption of critical nutrients.
- Support for the immune system.
- Reduction in sugar cravings.
