JÜJ Digestive Bitters
JÜJ is a dietitian-designed digestive bitters that uses organic ingredients and 3rd party tests for contaminants and gluten verification < 5ppm (it is fully celiac-safe). It’s meant to be taken directly on the tongue or in a bit of water before meals for therapeutic digestive benefits. It can also be dropped into a mocktail for a gentler benefit and as an alternative to alcoholic drinks.
when to use bitters
Digestive bitters can aid your digestive health in many ways. Below are the symptoms that digestive bitters can address:
- Bloating
- Nausea and Abdominal Pain
- Maldigestion and/or Low Stomach Acid
- Especially recommended for patients with autoimmune diseases like Celiac and Hashimoto’s
- Constipation
- Great for IBS in general as maldigestion is often a root cause
- Gastroparesis or Slowed Motility
- Metabolic Syndrome
- For those who struggle with blood sugar management and control
- Sugar Cravings
- We specifically recommend cacao bitters after meals to help curb these cravings.
- Acid Reflux
- Start low and slow
- We recommend exercising caution in those with severe GERD
We do not recommend JÜJ in cases of diagnosed severe gastritis, hiatal hernia, peptic ulcer disease, kidney stones or gallstones. Please check with your provider if you are pregnant and/or breast feeding.
Digestive bitters can also support detoxification and is especially recommended for those going through liver supportive protocols or general mycotoxin or heavy metal detox. The enhanced bile flow support from digestive bitters aids in drainage.
