What does it do?

Gentian powder is made from the dried roots and rhizomes of the gentian plant and has been traditionally used to assist with digestive function. This ingredient promotes the secretion of digestive juices in the stomach and is used to improve indigestion or poor appetite.

Gentian powder stimulates the gastric mucosa, increasing the secretion of digestive juices and activating gastrointestinal motility. As a result, food is digested well, and gastrointestinal function becomes smooth.
