Certain foods can either exacerbate or alleviate bloating. Foods that are easy to digest and contain anti-inflammatory properties can help reduce bloating and promote gut health. Examples include foods rich in fiber, such as bananas and oats, as well as those containing probiotics, like yogurt and fermented vegetables (Ford et al., 2014). Additionally, herbs like peppermint and ginger have long been used to soothe digestive discomfort and prevent bloating.
Happitum contains ingredients like ginger, fennel seed, and artichoke leaf, all of which are known to support digestion and reduce bloating. Artichoke leaf extract, for example, has been shown to improve gastric motility and alleviate bloating by stimulating bile production, which helps digest fats more efficiently (Javanmardi et al., 2008). Combined with peppermint and ginger, these ingredients can work together to target the root causes of bloating.
Incorporating Happitum into your daily routine, alongside a diet rich in anti-inflammatory and fiber-rich foods, can be a powerful strategy for reducing bloating and promoting overall gut health.
