One of the most bitter digestive tonics, Gentian's nickname is "Bitter root". Bitters stimulate the gustatory nerves in the mouth and increase the secretion of gastric juices and bile. Bitters stimulate cholecystokinin (CCK), which is released from the small intestine to stimulate the digestion of fat and protein. Gentian is to be used just before a meal to kick start the digestive system and assist the body with uptake of nutrients. It is considered a blood purifier.*
