All of these bitters are good options to help your digestion! Please note that if you're fruit intolerant, Bitter Tonic by Wise Women Herbals is your best option. 30 drops = 1 dropperful. 1 dropperful = one squeeze on the dropper. If it's a 2oz bottle the dropper should be over 1/2 full. If it's a 4oz bottle, the dropper should be about 1/3 full. Ideally you want to take bitters with a little water (1oz) 10min before meals. If you forget you can take them during or up to 30min afterward. Tasting the bitterness is part of how they work so be prepared for some bitterness :) If you can only take them once a day, dinner is usually the most important because your stomach acid is at its lowest at that time of day. Lunch might also be important if you are rushed (we don't produce adequate stomach acid when we're stressed!). If you have heartburn, try taking a dose. Usually it helps quiet things down. Consider increasing the dose when you have a higher protein meal as stomach acid is crucial for protein digestion. Bitters are also useful to take after you eat your intolerance as they tend to decrease reactions. Note: if 2 dropperfuls isn't enough, increase to 4 dropperfuls.

Improve Your Digestion

Gas and bloating caps are great for symptom managment. For root cause work, I usually start with digestive bitters and add enzymes like Digestive Enzymes Ultra (these are geared toward fat digestion) if needed. You also need to get to the bottom of your personal food triggers that may be irritating your gut. Marshmallow Tea helps to create a soothing coat over your GI tract issues. It helps with symptom relief, but the root cause needs to be addresssed. Beta Plus is great liver and gallbladder support for better bile production.

Liver Detox

This PushCatch kit is a great way to start detoxing your liver. Ideally you'd minimize inflammatory foods first, drink at least half your body weight in oz of water/day, and get enough sleep. If you try to detox without these things you may end up feeling a lot worse for a time. PushCatch includes instructions for how to proceeed. I also highly recommend the Kidney Care addition as it supports the kidneys (also important in detox), lymphatics, and bile flow (crucial in detox).

Gallbladder Health

Beta Plus is a digestive enzyme/ox bile combo that provides bile and improves fat digestion. Gallbladder Nutrients is a supportive formula that helps bile production and release. Ox bile is for those with low bile flow that manifests as floating, greasy, light colored stools. I recommend trying the Gallbladder Nutrients first and if that isn't enough, adding in the ox bile. TUDCA is a bile salt that can be helpful in folks who aren't producing or releasing enough bile. Fiber is essential to good gallbladder health as it binds toxic bile. Work toward 25g/day, the majority through food. Fibermend can help if you're struggling to reach that amount. Phosphatidylcholine is my favorite supplement to help thin the bile. When bile becomes thick and sludgey it forms stones.

Pain and Inflammation

These supplements target your pain at both the local level and systemically. Arthrosoothe - a great option for an anti-inflammatory effect and pain relief. For a totally plant-based option, try Zyflamend. Magnesium glycinate complex helps your nervous system relax, which is often very overactivated with acute and chronic pain. Topical magnesium spray is great for muscle tension that contributes to headaches, TMJ, and more. It does tingle a bit when applied. And lastly, I've included castor oil pack supplies here.
