About Bitters
Just the bitter taste itself gets things moving all the way down the digestive tract. Traditional foodways all include the regular consumption of bitter things (at least in part because many, many wild foods have bitter tastes), but the bitter taste is something we have self selected away from in our modern culture.
Enter: digestive bitters formulas. The tincture extraction of bitters into alcohol makes for an easy way to add bitters back into our diets: a handy, portable, shelf.stable digestive aid.
