BITTERKRÄUTER - Bitter substances drops

"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 delve into the question of what bitter substances are good for, let's first clarify: 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) already 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 sick chimpanzees like to reach for 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, to alleviate ailments^.2 So why do WE no longer appreciate the power of bitter substances ...?

What bitter substances can offer us

If we initially find a bitter taste hard to get used to, this is probably mainly due to the fact that 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 good substances:

Bitter substances

• make our food more digestible
• soothe the gastrointestinal tract
• help against a feeling of fullness after eating
• support the digestive function
• generally ensure a greater sense of well-being

Thanks to the absorption of bitter substances , the digestion of food begins on the tongue. This happens by stimulating the bitter receptors. If these are stimulated by a bitter taste, our organs immediately start producing digestive secretions - starting with salivation.

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 perform 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.
