The bitter compounds in Gentian stimulate the bitter taste buds on the tongue. this sends a message to the brain to increase bile from the liver, which emulsifies or digests fat. In a lesser way, the bitter stimulation also sends a message to increase hydrochloric acid from the stomach, which increases protein digestion. In other words, bitters stimulate the body’s ability to digest and therefore assimilate fat and protein. . .” (Coven, Herbal Handbook) Caution: Do not use if you have ulcers.

It is thought to act as an antioxidant and natural sunblock, protecting the eye from damaging free radicals. But lutein may play a role in other parts of the body as well. The yellow carotenoid may also help prevent chronic disease. Doctors reviewed 17 studies that compared lutein levels to physical activity in adults. Studies that measured circulating lutein levels and physical activity found those with the highest lutein levels were 57 percent more active than those with the lowest levels. In several of the studies asking participants to report their diets and physical activity, higher lutein levels were linked to 20 to 600 percent greater levels of physical activity. Doctors believe it is the antioxidants in lutein that help maintain the integrity of cellular DNA, preventing genetic mutations that can lead to disease, and providing the benefits to physical activity. Physical activity also reduces the chances of developing chronic diseases. Discussing the findings, doctors said, "If increasing lutein levels, or possibly also the levels of other carotenoids, is able to increase physical activity, this might be useful for improving physical activity to mitigate the chances of chronic disease."
