Digest Support Tea

Digest Tea was originally formulated by Barbara O'Neill as a blend of herbs to support optimal stomach function. By increasing the liver's production of hydrochloric acid. This increase enhances the digestive process. Low hydrochloric acid is associated with a long list of digestive complaints and disorders.
