Swedish Bitters
Flora
Overview
This product combines a large variety of herbs traditionally used for digestion and other issues. While some individual ingredients have evidence to support their efficacy regarding digestion, blood sugar control, and mood balance, the small amounts and the use of a proprietary blend significantly limit their potential therapeutic benefits. The presence of laxatives like senna is concerning and may lead to dependence. Also, the long list of ingredients may also pose a risk for herb-drug interactions.
