| Product Description |
The use of herbal bitters has been an integral part of almost every herbal tradition in the world. Extensively used in Europe, herbal bitters help enhance digestion and assimilation by stimulating taste receptors on the tongue. This increases the flow of bile from the liver, which supports both digestion and the body's natural cleansing processes. Bitters are especially beneficial when taken after a heavy meal, or for general support of a healthy liver. Planetary Formulas Digestive Grape Bitters provides the three main classes of bitter herbs: tonic, warming and aromatic bitters.

Behind every good herbal line is a strong quality assurance team. Planetary Herbals has one of the best teams in the industry and follows Good Manufacturing Practices that exceed those mandated by the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA). To ensure that the herbs we use are vital and potent and to prevent any use of adulterants, every herb is checked by a team of quality control specialists. This team is headed by a director who holds a Ph.D. in chemistry and includes staff trained in Chinese and Western herbalism, microbiological assays, heavy metal screenings, and analytical chemisty.
Herbs are first checked in the traditional organoleptic manner (assessment of taste, smell, apperarance, and relative quality) and are then subject to a variety of analytic tests. These include qualitative and quantitative analysis using ultraviolet and infrared spectrophotometry, thin layer chromatography (TLC), and high performace liquid chromatography (HPLC) as well as Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) screening for heavy metals and full microbiological testing to insure all herbs are free of pathogenic bacteria.
