Surthrival: Herbal Digestive Bitters Spray for Digestion (1.69 fl oz / 50ml), 100% Vegan Blend of Organic & Wildcrafted Herbs & Roots

Surthrival Herbal Digestive Bitters Most poisonous foods in nature have a bitter flavor, so, for survival reasons, the human body has multiple bitter receptors—not only on the tongue, but in the stomach and along the digestive tract as well.

The receptors in our mouth warn us that we’ve eaten something we probably shouldn’t have (“spit it out!”).

When we ignore that warning and swallow the bitter food anyway, the digestive receptors kick into red alert, and increase production of digestive juices to counter the effects of the potential poison and facilitate a fast and thorough breakdown of the food.

But when the bitter food is healthful, this reaction results in other beneficial ways: calming digestive upset, encouraging better absorption of nutrients, and acting as a natural detoxifier of the liver.
