Ignite: Digestive Bitters Tincture
From Laura: “Nutrients only help if you can digest and absorb them. Bitters before meals are one of the simplest ways I know to support digestion.”
IGNITE Digestive Bitters is a thoughtfully crafted blend of traditional bitter roots, aromatic herbs, and warming botanicals designed to awaken and support the body's natural digestive processes. Rooted in centuries of herbal wisdom, digestive bitters work by activating bitter taste receptors that signal the digestive system to prepare for food, encouraging the natural release of digestive secretions involved in breaking down meals and absorbing nutrients. Featuring powerful botanicals like gentian, dandelion root, Oregon grape, ginger, fennel, and cardamom, IGNITE is formulated to support healthy digestion and bile flow.
In a world of rushed meals, chronic stress, and sluggish digestion, bitters offer a simple way to reconnect with the body's innate digestive rhythms. Crafted with organic and wild-harvested botanicals sourced primarily from an organic Oregon farm, each herb is carefully selected for its traditional digestive properties. IGNITE brings ancestral herbal wisdom into a simple daily ritual, helping you nourish your body by supporting digestion from the very first bite.

The Wild + Well-Fed Advantage
-
Bitters work by activating bitter taste receptors in the mouth and digestive tract. These receptors signal the body to start producing digestive secretions before food even reaches the stomach, including stomach acid, bile, pancreatic enzymes and other digestive juices that help you break down food and absorb nutrients.
Many of us eat while stressed, rush through meals or deal with sluggish digestion. Bitters help remind the body to do what it was designed to do.
-
IGNITE is best taken right before meals, directly on the tongue or in a small amount of water. You want to taste the bitterness, so avoid diluting it too much.
A small amount before eating helps prepare your digestive system for food. Some people also reach for it when traveling or when they notice occasional bloating, gas or sluggish digestion.
-
This is one of the most common reasons people use bitters. When digestion is sluggish, food can sit too long in the stomach or move inefficiently through the digestive tract, which can leave you feeling full, heavy or gassy. By encouraging digestive secretions and bile flow, bitters are traditionally used to help meals move through more comfortably.
-
Even the most nourishing foods require strong digestion. You can eat nutrient-dense meals, but if stomach acid, bile flow or digestive enzymes are running low, you may not fully break down or absorb what you are eating. Modern life often works against digestion: stress, processed foods, rushing, chronic dieting, lots of cold foods, constant snacking and eating on the go. Bitters help rebuild that digestive readiness.
-
Strongly bitter herbs are powerful, but they can feel intense on their own. Warming aromatic herbs balance the formula, gently support circulation, ease occasional gas and digestive tension, and make bitters more approachable for everyday use. Traditional and practical.
-
Alcohol is one of the most effective traditional ways to extract the full range of plant compounds from roots, seeds, bark and other botanicals. It also preserves potency, stability and shelf life without synthetic preservatives. The serving size is very small.
-
Bitters are traditionally used by people who notice occasional bloating, burping or heaviness after meals, sluggish digestion, a low appetite or difficulty with richer, fattier meals, or who feel that food just sits in the stomach. They are also a good fit if you feel you are not absorbing the nourishment you eat.
If you are pregnant or nursing, take medications or are managing a health condition, check with your healthcare provider before use.
-
Yes. Many people use bitters daily before meals, and others reach for them as needed. Consistency tends to work best because digestion responds well to routine and repeated signaling. Some people notice a difference quickly, while others find the benefits build with regular use. Bitters can be used long term or for shorter stretches when you need them.
-
Because strong digestion takes energy. The body needs digestive fire: the ability to signal, secrete, break down and move food efficiently. IGNITE was formulated to help rekindle that fire with traditional bitter and aromatic herbs that have been used for generations to wake digestion back up.
