Flora Maria's Swedish Bitters - Alcohol-Free - Bitters play an important role in digestion as they stimulate bile production to break down the fats we consume. Use before meals to stimulate the stomach and help improve digestion or use after meals to lessen feelings of fullness or gas. This blend of extracts provides the bitter leaves and roots generally lacking in the average diet, which stimulate the production of bile to help digest fatty foods, promote regularity and ease hyperacidity.
