Bitter drops: naturally good
Went a little overboard? The meal was rather hearty and more sumptuous than planned? An unpleasant stomach feeling and persistent rumbling can be the result. This is particularly unpleasant outside your own four walls.
The natural ingredients in our Vitactiv brand BITTER HERBS drops - taken before or after a meal - contribute to general well-being*.
In addition to 14 plant and herbal extracts, choline and zinc round off our Bitter Drops. These two nutrients serve to support various metabolic functions.* Our food supplement is vegan, as it contains no animal ingredients, and does not contain any sugar.
"Sweet or sour?" Test bitter drops without alcohol!
Halloween, Carnival, Easter, Christmas ... no, actually the whole year round - the supply of sweets has exploded in recent decades. And as if that wasn't enough, extra sugar is added everywhere. Although we are aware that most of it is not exactly good for us, we often cannot resist the "sweet temptation". Sometimes we even feel a craving for sweets. Flavor enhancers, glutamates and colorants do the rest to make our stomachs rumble.
In contrast to this oversupply from the industry, natural, valuable bitter substances, such as those contained in our drops, have almost completely disappeared from our food. They have even been deliberately bred out in order to shape food to our taste preferences. What a bitter disappointment! Yet bitter substances have so much to offer ...
The power of bitter substances
Before we look into the question of what bitter substances are good for, let's first clarify what they are: What are bitter substances anyway?
Bitter substances are produced naturally by many plants to defend themselves against harmful predators. The bitter taste is unpalatable to them, so they prefer to make a quick getaway.
If you consider that the ancient Greek physician and teacher Hippocrates, who lived around 460 BC (!), and the famous Benedictine nun Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179) knew how to use the power of bitter herbs and plants1, it is hard to explain why this valuable knowledge has been lost over the centuries. At least for us humans! It is known, for example, that chimpanzees like to eat the bitter leaves of the African mjonso tree.2 It has also often been observed that sheep eat the bitter yarrow herb, which they otherwise avoid, when they have ailments.2 So why do WE no longer appreciate the power of bitter substances ...?
If we initially find a bitter taste hard to get used to, this is probably mainly because our taste buds (are allowed to) perceive it so rarely. So please don't let this irritate you - getting used to the "rediscovered" flavor happens very quickly. And then you can take full advantage of these substances.

Bitter drops with high-quality nutrients:
Vitactiv's bitter drops contain essential choline and the valuable trace element zinc.
Choline for fat metabolism*
The vital micronutrient choline transports the fatty acids (triglycerides) from the liver to the places needed in the body. If there is a choline deficiency, the metabolic process is disrupted and more fat is stored in the liver. A so-called "fatty liver" can only detoxify the body to a limited extent and can therefore no longer fulfill its functions to a sufficient extent. Choline is therefore essential for maintaining a normal fat metabolism and a functioning liver* - which is precisely why it is an important component of our bitter herbs.
Zinc for the metabolism of macronutrients*
The essential trace element zinc can normalize many processes in the body, above all various metabolic functions. It is one of the most important factors in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins - the so-called macronutrients.

When should you take bitters?
You can take bitter drops at different times, depending on your individual needs and desired effects. Here are some recommendations:
1. before meals: You can take the bitter drops about 15 to 30 minutes before your main meals.
2. after fatty or heavy meals: If you have eaten a high-fat or heavy meal, the ingredients in the bitter drops such as choline and zinc can act as a natural support for fat metabolism.
3. when needed: If you think that the bitter herbs drops could do you good right now, you can also take them independently of a meal.
Which bitter substances are the best?
What the "best" bitter substances are can vary from person to person, as there are individual preferences and needs. Some popular bitters come from the peels of citrus fruits, artichoke, gentian or centaury. A combination of different bitters can provide broader support. Try our bitter drops for a balanced blend of high-quality bitters (14 plant and herbal extracts).
How many bitter drops a day?
We recommend taking 2 x 20 bitter drops a day.
