What is the best natural prokinetic?

The best natural prokinetic agents for stimulating the Migrating Motor Complex (MMC) and restoring cleansing waves are gingerols, derived from ginger root, and cynaropicrin, derived from artichoke leaf extract. These standardized botanicals work synergistically to stimulate gastric emptying and small bowel contractions. They do this by binding to serotonin and cholinergic receptors within the enteric nervous system, prompting the rhythmic movements necessary to sweep debris and bacteria out of the small intestine. Using a natural prokinetic is a critical post-treatment step to prevent bacterial recolonization and relapse.
