When we feel the rumbling in our stomach that tells us we’re hungry, what we’re feeling is an increase in stomach acid production and the secretion of digestive enzymes from the pancreas.
Many factors can reduce the production of gastric acid, bile and enzymes, including a history of taking acid-blocking medications, liver or gallbladder disease, and due to a natural decline in stomach acid production with age. Some people also experience lack of appetite, or challenges with recognizing hunger signals from a history of eating when we’re not hungry.
Gallexier Digestive Bitters contains a synergistic blend of twelve herbs that work together to support healthy digestion.
The taste of any food should trigger a release of gastric acid and digestive enzymes, but tasting something bitter has a more profound response on digestive secretions9. This may be because things that are bitter are more likely to be poisonous than other flavours, so these receptors have been conditioned to be extra-sensitive.
The bitter herbs in Gallexier promote the natural release of gastric acid, digestive enzymes, and bile to help us effectively breakdown food in the stomach. This alleviates symptoms of heartburn, gas, cramping, and bloating, and helps to promote healthy bowel movements.
