Bitter Belly

 

Bitter Belly is a grounding digestive tonic crafted from time-honored bitter roots, aromatic seeds, and gentle botanicals that awaken digestion, balance appetite, and restore metabolic flow. At its foundation is a dual-extracted blend of dandelion and gentian — traditional allies for stimulating bile flow, easing bloating, and supporting liver vitality. Balanced with warming ginger, cardamom, and cacao, plus tart cherry and vanilla for depth, this elixir offers both function and flavor.

Formulated to promote smooth digestion, support blood-sugar balance, and naturally enhance GLP-1 — the body’s own appetite-regulating hormone — Bitter Belly helps reduce sugar cravings, regulate mood, and bring clarity to the gut–brain connection. Its profile combines bitter, aromatic, earthy, and lightly sweet notes into a harmonizing elixir that restores digestive fire, balances hormones, and encourages mindful eating.

A classic liver tonic that supports detoxification, fat metabolism, and hormone balance.

Burdock Root
Nourishes the microbiome, purifies the blood, and supports clear, healthy skin through digestive and lymphatic balance.

Angelica Root
A warming aromatic bitter that dispels gas and stagnation while soothing the stomach.

Orange Peel
Bright and uplifting; lightens the blend and supports healthy gut motility.

Cardamom Seed
Fragrant and harmonizing, eases heaviness after meals, and rounds out the sharper bitter notes.

Plant Spirit Notes

Bitter Belly is a clarifying, grounding elixir — a gentle but potent reminder of the healing power of bitterness. Like roots drawing deep from the earth, it rekindles digestive fire, clears stagnation, and restores flow. A companion for balance and embodiment, it teaches us that when we taste what’s real — even the bitter — we return to harmony, vitality, and trust in the body’s innate wisdom.
