One option that stands out for enhanced digestion is soursop bitters. Soursop itself is known in part for its positive impact on the digestive system. This tropical fruit, also known as Graviola fruit, contains a high concentration of flavonoids, tannins, and phenolic acids, which possess therapeutic effects due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and gastroprotective properties. The leaves and bark are popularly used to make tea to treat gastrointestinal problems such as gastritis and poor digestion.

Additionally, several studies have reported soursop improving gastric lesions. Antiulcer activity and gastric injury suppression and protection were also exhibited in animal studies (2). Soursop has even been used by West Africans as an antidiarrheal. In animal studies, it was discovered that the flavonoids, triterpenoids, and saponins found in the plant are thought to be responsible for these effects by inhibiting intestinal motility and secretions that cause diarrhea (3).
