I really have benefited from ingesting burdock root because it has helped with my digestion. How does it help with digestion? It works through bitter stimulation of the digestive juices + especially of bile secretion. Furthermore, burdock root contains inulin. Inulin is a organic indigestible non-absorbable oligosaccharide that has pre-biotic and anti-cancer properties. Inulin promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria in the colon, including lactobacilli + bifidobacteria. Burdock enriches the value of pro-biotics.
