Digest Care
Digestive Bitters & Complete Digestive Support
Bloating, gas, heaviness after meals — that's usually not too much food, it's not enough digestion. Digest Care is a handcrafted blend of traditional bitter and aromatic herbs that wakes up your body's own digestive rhythm: stomach acid, bile, and enzymes flowing on cue, so meals break down the way they're supposed to instead of sitting like a brick.
Why Bitters, Why Before Meals
Digestion starts on your tongue
Digestion doesn't begin in your stomach — it begins the moment you taste something bitter. That taste flips a switch on your bitter receptors, signaling the body to shift into "rest and digest" and pour out stomach acid, bile, and enzymes before food even arrives. Eat in a rush or under stress and that signal barely fires, so meals land heavy, gassy, and half-broken-down.
Digest Care rings that bell on purpose. A few bitter, aromatic drops 10–15 minutes before you eat prime the whole tract — from stomach acid to the liver–gallbladder handoff that digests fats — so your body is ready to break food down, pull the nutrients from it, and move the rest along.
The Core Equation
When digestion stalls, both sides of the equation suffer: nutrients don't get absorbed (what's missing) and waste doesn't move out (what builds up). Digest Care helps you actually use your food — and clear the rest.
What It Supports
Complete digestion, start to finish
Sparks the digestive cascade
Stimulates stomach acid, bile, and enzyme production so food actually gets broken down — not just swallowed and left to sit.
Eases the after-meal slump
Helps relieve the bloating, gas, and heaviness that follow a sluggish meal, so you feel light instead of overloaded.
Backs the liver & gallbladder
Supports healthy bile flow and the liver–gallbladder connection that breaks down fats and keeps things moving.
Helps you absorb what you eat
Better breakdown means better nutrient absorption and steadier gut balance after every meal.
What's Inside & Why It Matters
Seven herbs, one digestive rhythm
A blend of traditional bitter and carminative (gas-easing) herbs, extracted in 40% alcohol for potency and shelf stability.
Gentian Root
The classic digestive bitter · stimulates stomach acid, bile & pancreatic enzymes · eases post-meal heaviness · supports appetite & metabolism.
Dandelion Root
Supports liver & bile flow · helps relieve bloating & water retention · provides prebiotic inulin for the microbiome.
Dandelion Leaf
Encourages bile release from the gallbladder · gentle diuretic for fluid balance · supports gallbladder function & fat metabolism.
Fennel Seed
Soothes digestion and eases gas & bloating · calms intestinal cramping · mildly antimicrobial to help balance gut bacteria.
Ginger Root
Boosts digestive motility & clearance · eases nausea, sluggishness & indigestion · brings circulation to the digestive organs.
Peppermint Leaf
Relaxes GI muscles to ease cramping & bloating · enhances bile flow & fat digestion · a cooling counterpoint to the warming herbs.

How To Use
How to put it to work
Internally · Before Meals
On the tongue, 10–15 minutes before you eat
Take 10–20 drops directly on the tongue 10–15 minutes before meals. Hold them there a moment before swallowing — that first hit of bitterness is what flips the body into "rest and digest" and gets the juices flowing.
Why It Works
Let yourself taste the bitter
The bitterness isn't a flaw — it's the active part. Those bitter notes are what trigger your digestive response, so resist the urge to mask them completely. A little intensity now means smoother digestion later.
Synergy of the Formula
How it all works together
Each herb plays a part, but the real work is in the sequence. Together they help the body initiate digestion, move food along efficiently, absorb nutrients fully, and release waste the way it should — by waking up your natural digestive reflexes, supporting the liver–gallbladder connection, and restoring a steady rhythm across the whole digestive tract.
The result is smoother, more complete digestion: better nutrient assimilation going in, and cleaner elimination going out.
Good To Know
Contains alcohol (40%). Not recommended for children under 3. For ages 3–12, use diluted and in small doses. If you're trying to conceive, pregnant, or breastfeeding, use only with professional guidance.
Where It Fits
One step in a sequenced protocol
Digest Care supports the Gut & Digestion step — the third move in the 6-step Burch Bear protocol. Once drainage is open, strong digestion is what lets everything downstream actually work: nutrients in, waste out.
