BitterMagic®
Traditional rediscovered and magically combined
Bitter is better, as herbalists all over the world realised hundreds of years ago when they discovered the beneficial influence of bitter substances on our organism. Hippocrates and Paracelsus were already avowed fans of bitter herbs and praised their many uses. Since then, the targeted use of amara (bitter plants) in the form of stomach bitters or bitter drops before or after a sumptuous meal has been a tradition in a wide variety of cultures.
That bitter substances can do much more than this is underlined by recent research results. In particular, the discovery and description of different bitter substance receptors in different regions of the body outside the mouth and throat. Because: While the receptors for "sweet", "salty", "sour" and "umami" are mainly located in the mouth area, receptors for "bitter" are found in numerous body regions. Receptors for bitter taste have been found in the gastrointestinal tract, in the bronchial tubes, in the urogenital tract, in sperm and immune cells, on the skin and in the brain.
BitterMagic®: All the benefits of bitters without the bitter taste
BitterMagic® is the magical alternative for all those who simply do not like the taste of bitter substances, but do not want to do without the numerous benefits of bitter plant substances. The bitter plant substances "hidden" in the capsules only unfold outside the mouth area, which allows them to reach bitter receptors located in other regions of the body.
BitterMagic® is a well thought-out combination of 9 selected bitter plants. Depending on the plant, the digestible bitter substances can be found in the leaf, fruit or root. Three innovative blends were developed for BitterMagic®, which optimally represent the bitter substances of all three plant parts: The BitterLeaves® blend contains artichoke, sage and olive leaf with the standardised bitter substances oleuropein and cynarin. The BitterFruits® blend impresses with bitter melon, fennel and milk thistle extract and the silymarin it contains. Dandelion, gentian and ginger with the valuable gingerol were selected for the BitterRoots® blend.

FAQ
At Biogena, “pure substance principle” means that we do not use technological additives which are used for the fully automated manufacturing of tablets, capsules and pills (e.g. anticaking or release agents and so forth) or additives that are used for optical reasons or for enhancing the taste of the products (artificial aroma, colouring agents, coatings etc.). Due to a semi-automatic manufacturing process, we can avoid these substances that often have a higher proportion in customary products than the actual active ingredients. In the case of nutritional supplements, additives have to be indicated in the list of ingredients. Here, the patient or customer can get useful information. Concerning the single ingredients, we also care for our raw materials to be free of carrier substances. In cases where this is not possible, we use natural food components such as maltodextrin, cellulose powder or calcium carbonate. The majority of our ingredients is produced exclusively for us – free of carrier substances (e.g. our enzymes our probiotics: other manufacturers often use lactose as a carrier – the product batches produced for us are explicitly without carriers).
BIOGENA preparations are carefully manufactured in our own production facility, BIOGENA Good Health World (Salzburg, Austria), to a unique manufacturing standard. We are certified according to ISO 22,000:2018 and GMP - Good Manufacturing Practice and have organic, halal and kosher certification.
