Salus Gallexier Digestive Bitters 250ml
Bitter herbs can be helpful in people with:
Indigestion, bloating, gas, or cramping
Irregular bowel movements
Nausea, heartburn or stomach aches
Low stomach acidity, commonly seen with aging
Sugar cravings
Sluggish liver, liver disease, or during a detox
Low appetite, or challenges with recognizing hunger signals
Hunger can be triggered by low blood sugar, but it can also be triggered by thinking about, seeing, smelling and tasting food. Once food is in the stomach, it triggers bile and more digestive enzymes to be released from the liver and gallbladder to continue help break down our meal. It’s a beautiful system: the presence of food is what triggers the release of the acid and enzymes we need to properly digest that meal.
The way we break down food in the stomach profoundly impacts the whole digestive system. If we eat a meal without enough stomach acid, bile, or enzymes, we are unable to properly break down our food. This causes three types of digestive issues:
Stomach irritation: Heartburn, nausea, feeling of fullness in the stomach.
Bowel irritation: Larger than ideal food particles draw water into the bowel and over-feed our gut bacteria. This can cause cramping, gas, bloating, abdominal pain, and irregular bowel movements.
Reduced nutrient absorption: It is challenging for the body to absorb vitamins and minerals from foods that are poorly broken down. This can impact every single aspect of our overall health, with the most common symptoms being a weak immune system, brain fog, and fatigue.
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 is synergistic blend of twelve herbs that support healthy digestion. The bitter flavour of Gallexier sends a powerful signal to simulate the secretion of gastric acid and digestive enzymes, which helps us effectively break down food. Liver-specific herbs in Gallexier stimulate the secretion of bile to further promote digestion and support liver detoxification. Gallexier also contains antispasmodic herbs soothe cramping and discomfort, and anti-inflammatory herbs heal the digestive tract and protect it from damage.
Gallexier helps to restore the body’s natural digestive function, which alleviates symptoms of indigestion and promotes the absorption of the nutrients we need to maintain our overall health.
