What is Better with Bitters?
Better with Bitters is an herbal tonic crafted with traditionally used bitter and cleansing herbs to complement the body’s natural elimination processes and overall wellness.
What is this tonic traditionally used for?
The herbs in this formula have traditionally been used to support digestion, liver function, healthy elimination, and the body’s natural cleansing processes.
Why are bitter herbs used?
Bitter herbs have a long history of traditional use. Their naturally bitter compounds stimulate the senses and have traditionally been used to complement digestion and normal digestive secretions.
Is this a “blood cleanser”?
“Blood cleansing” is a traditional herbal term rather than a medical process or diagnosis. The liver, kidneys, digestive system, lungs, and lymphatic system all play roles in processing and eliminating substances from the body. Better with Bitters is intended to support normal body functions not literally cleanse or purify the blood.
How do I prepare it?
Add 1 tablespoons of the herbal blend to 2.5 cup of filtered water. Cover and gently simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and steep, covered, for another 10 minutes. Strain and enjoy warm or chilled.
How much should I drink?
Drink 4 oz daily for 4–6 weeks, unless otherwise directed on your product label.
Should I sweeten it?
We recommend drinking it as prepared without added sweeteners. It is a bitter tonic, so some bitterness is intentional.
When is the best time to take it?
Take it consistently at approximately the same time each day. If you find bitters uncomfortable on an empty stomach, take your serving with or around a meal.
How long should I use it?
Use for 4–6 weeks, followed by a 1–2 week break before beginning another cycle. This tonic is designed for periodic use rather than continuous year-round use.
Can I drink more than 4 oz for faster results?
No. More is not necessarily better with herbal preparations. Follow the recommended serving instructions.
How quickly will I notice a difference?
Everyone responds differently. Herbal tonics are generally intended for consistent use rather than immediate results. Diet, hydration, sleep, movement, medications, and individual physiology can all influence your experience.
What should I pair it with?
Better with Bitters is best incorporated into a balanced wellness routine that includes adequate hydration, nutrient-dense foods, regular movement, sufficient fiber, and quality sleep.
Can I use it while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No. We recommend not using it without approval from a qualified healthcare professional familiar with the complete ingredient list.
Can children take it?
This formula is intended for adults.
Can I take it with medications or supplements?
Herbs can interact with medications and supplements. If you take prescription medication, have a medical condition, or are preparing for surgery, speak with a qualified healthcare professional or pharmacist before use.
What if I experience discomfort?
Discontinue use if you experience an unexpected or concerning reaction and seek medical advice when appropriate. Strong or persistent symptoms should not be assumed to be a normal “detox reaction.”
Do I need to refrigerate the dry blend?
No. Keep the dry herbal blend tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.
How should I store the prepared tonic?
Refrigerate any prepared tonic promptly in a clean, covered container. Do not consume it if you notice an unusual odor, appearance, fermentation, or spoilage.
Is Better with Bitters intended to treat a medical condition?
No. Better with Bitters is a wellness product and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
