Traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to support appetite

May help relieve temporary mild indigestion

Supports digestive comfort where fullness or flatulence forms part of the presentation

Provides a concentrated bitter-herb format for individualised practitioner prescribing

May be combined with compatible herbal extracts where professionally appropriate

The recognised traditional-use evidence for Gentian root relates to temporary loss of appetite and mild stomach or intestinal complaints. It is based primarily on long-standing use rather than conclusive clinical trials.

Adults experiencing temporary mild appetite reduction

People experiencing temporary fullness or flatulence after meals

Customers requiring a concentrated single-herb liquid extract rather than tablets or capsules
