    Hi, I’m confused about the difference between digestive enzymes and digestive bitters. Which one is better to support digestion?

     haha – I forgot I added this question as an example for my tutorial video. Ok, glad to answer.

    Digestive enzymes offer pancreatic support by supplying the body with additional enzymes to help break down our food. These can be plant based or animal based supplements. I discuss digestive enzymes in more detail in Gut Health Masterclass as well; it’s really like the cereal isle in terms of choices of digestive enzymes available. Some support better digestion of fats, others better digestion of legumes and starchy carbs, others for dairy and gluten. It really all depends on the individual’s needs.

    Digestive bitters on the other hand help support overall digestive secretions by signaling to the brain that food is on the way. It helps stimulate stomach acid production, digestive enzyme secretion and bile flow, so it’s more broad in terms of its digestive support.

    Hope that helps. Let me know if you still have additional questions.

    This is really helpful. I had a feeling bitters were more ideal for digestive help – thank you!
