A Harmonizing Digestive Tincture

Herbalists have long understood that digestion starts on the tongue: when we taste bitter, the body responds by producing saliva, digestive enzymes, and bile, preparing itself to receive food. Many modern diets have nearly lost the bitter taste, and Trust Your Gut is an invitation to bring it back.

At the heart of the formula is gentian. A mountain plant of the European Alps, gentian root is one of the most intensely bitter substances in nature and has been the backbone of traditional European digestive bitters for over two thousand years. It’s the classic bitter tonic: a small amount on the tongue supports healthy appetite and digestive secretions, which is why bitters are traditionally taken in small, frequent doses.

Made in the tradition of the American Eclectic physicians, Trust Your Gut pairs gentian with dandelion root, yellow dock, and artichoke leaf, which support healthy liver and gallbladder function and the natural flow of bile. Schisandra, the “five-flavor berry” of Chinese herbalism, adds a complex sour note, orange peel brings aromatic brightness, and marshmallow root lends a soothing touch to balance the blend.

Cooling, drying, and gently stimulating. Perfect before or after meals, and during times of digestive discomfort.*

Not recommended in pregnancy.

Cynara Cardunculus

Artichoke Leaf

Artichoke leaf is a classic bitter tonic and remedy for liver, bile and digestive concerns. Consider this herb to support sluggish digestion thanks to its ability to enhance bile production and breakdown of fatty foods.

Schisandra Chinensis

Schizandra Berry

Known as the five-flavor berry, schisandra grows like grapes on a vine and has a unique balance of sweet, sour, salty, bitter and pungent flavors. Schisandra berry has been used throughout Chinese history as a tonic herb to be consumed throughout one's lifetime to promote longevity. It is an adaptogen and has traditionally been considered to have the most influence on strengthening and supporting liver, kidneys and lung function.

Gentiana lutea

Gentian Rhizome

Gentian is an excellent bitter that stimulates appetite and digestion. It is considered a key bile mover and helps increase secretion of gastric juices. Great for those who lack an appetite or experiencing irregularity, bloating or sluggishness of the digestive system.

Taraxacum Officinale

Dandelion Root

Dandelion root is a gentle digestive bitter tonic. The presence of inulin in the roots help rebuild gut flora and supports the microbiome.

As a liver alterative, dandelion gentle helps dispel toxins and shines in supporting the skin, lymph and immune system.

Althea Officinalis

Marshmallow Root

Marshmallow is one of our favorite demulcent herbs as it has a hydrating effect on dry tissues thanks to its constituents known as mucilaginous polysaccharides. These compounds are long-chain sugar molecules that bind with water to produce mucilage. Moistening and cooling, mucilage helps hydrate dry and irritated tissue lining aggravated by heat and inflammation.

You'll find marshmallow in our Mighty Lung Syrup as it lends a moistening quality to our formula- supporting an expectorant quality in the respiratory system and a dry cough state.

Rumex Crispus

Yellow Dock Root

Yellow dock root has traditionally been used to promote healthy digestion. It is thought to stimulate the production of digestive juices and support bowel regularity.

As a gentle detoxifier, yellow dock supports regular elimination and also improves overall blood health. Yellow dock root is often considered a blood tonic due to its high iron content. It may be used as a supportive remedy for individuals with iron deficiency anemia.

Citrus Sinensis

Sweet Orange Peel

The peel of orange has been traditionally used in East Asian medicine for thousands of years. The cut peel contains enzymes, flavonoids and phytonutrients. In addition, the aromatic orange oil found in the peel has an affinity for the digestive system and the respiratory system.

An overall necessity for me, my daughter, and my clients.

Invigorating

A great product. Tasty, nourishing and invigorating.

Nourishing Calming and Healing to the system

Prescribed this by my acupuncturist to help with PMDD and perimenopause. I see other reviews say it helps with anemia which I also have. This is an added benefit, but not the main reason I take it. Not sure how it works but it does! It is very calming and nourishing! You feel it when you take it!

I take two TBSP-one in the am and then mid afternoon. Only drawback is the added sugar. I wish there was a sugar free option. Each TBSP taken equates 1 tsp of sugar ingested and is the only reason I left 4 stars. I try to have a sugar free diet. It is awful sweet. For those of us that also suffer from GERD we can't cut the sweet with carbonation or citrus. Otherwise, it's a wonderful product and I do recommend it!

Well Being

I’m so very grateful for Well Being. Has truly helped me during the cold season. I have used two bottles so far. Colds don’t last long. Feel like it keeps me healthy as well. Just ordered the one for my lungs. At 67 I need it after so many rounds of bronchitis. Thank you for these wonderful amazing product.
I had been driving an hour to the store that carried these. Glad I found the web site. ❤️

This is my new favorite

System soother came into my life during a very stressful period. It has some of my favorite plants to work with all in one place and a rich delicious flavor. So far this is my favorite to take from Taproot.
