ethyos - Digestion
Daily digestive support with targeted botanical extracts
This formula is built around a set of standardized plant extracts traditionally used in digestive wellness routines. It is designed for people who want day-to-day support for digestion and post-meal comfort. The blend combines ginger, dandelion root, lemon balm, rosemary, and licorice in a capsule format. The overall focus is digestive function rather than single-nutrient supplementation.
Primary focus: digestion and post-meal comfort
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is included as a standardized extract for key aromatic compounds and gingerols, commonly used in supplements aimed at digestive comfort. Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) provides rosmarinic-acid-standardized support that is often used in gentle, everyday digestive routines. Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) complements the blend as a traditional botanical used in gastrointestinal-focused formulations. Together, these ingredients support a balanced approach to everyday digestive wellbeing.
Dandelion root and rosemary for broader digestive balance
Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) root extract is standardized to inulin, a plant-derived compound often used in gut-focused supplement design. This makes it a relevant addition for people looking to support overall digestive regularity and comfort as part of a healthy diet. Rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus) is standardized to ursolic acid, adding a distinct phytochemical profile to the formula. These components broaden the blend beyond a single-herb approach.
Supportive antioxidant positioning from plant polyphenols
Several ingredients in the formula naturally contain polyphenols and related compounds that are commonly associated with antioxidant support. Rosemary and lemon balm are standardized to specific marker compounds, which helps keep the botanical profile consistent from serving to serving. This antioxidant angle is supportive and secondary to the product’s digestive intent. It can be relevant for people who want plant-based support for everyday lifestyle stressors.
How the ingredients work together
The formula combines aromatic botanicals (ginger and lemon balm) with roots traditionally used in digestive routines (dandelion and licorice). Standardization to ursolic acid, rosmarinic acid, inulin, and glycyrrhizin provides a defined composition for key plant constituents. This multi-extract approach is designed to cover several aspects of digestive wellness in one serving. The result is a balanced botanical blend intended for regular use within a healthy lifestyle.
Clean capsule format and simple excipients
The actives are delivered in a vegetable capsule made from hydroxypropylmethylcellulose. Rice flour is included as a standard processing aid to support capsule filling and flow. These non-active ingredients do not drive the functional positioning of the product. The emphasis remains on the standardized botanical extracts and their role in digestive-focused supplementation.

Bienfaits
Digestive Health
Designed for everyday digestive support using a blend of botanical extracts including ginger, dandelion root, lemon balm, rosemary, and licorice. Ginger and lemon balm are commonly used in wellness routines to support digestive comfort after meals. Dandelion root and licorice complement the blend for broader gastrointestinal support in daily life.
Gut Comfort
Suitable for people who want a gentle, plant-based approach to post-meal comfort and day-to-day gut ease. Ginger extract and Melissa officinalis (lemon balm) are often used in traditional wellness practices for settling sensations. Licorice and rosemary add complementary botanical support for overall digestive balance.
Detox & Liver Health
Can be used as part of a general wellness routine that includes hydration and balanced meals, alongside botanicals traditionally associated with digestive and hepatic support. Dandelion root is commonly used in supplements aimed at supporting normal digestive and liver-related functions. Rosemary contributes plant polyphenols that fit well in a broader “daily cleanse” lifestyle approach without implying medical effects.
Antioxidant Support
Provides botanical antioxidants from rosemary (ursolic acid standardization) and lemon balm (rosmarinic acid standardization). These compounds are often included in formulas intended to support the body’s normal response to everyday oxidative stress. This benefit is supportive rather than the main focus of a digestion-centered blend.
Stress Management
May fit into an evening or post-meal routine where calm and digestive comfort are both desired. Lemon balm is frequently used in wellness routines that emphasize relaxation, which can pair well with digestive-focused botanicals like ginger. This is a peripheral positioning compared with the primary digestive intent of the formula.
