Peppermint for IBS
Peppermint oil is a natural antispasmodic and encourages the bowel muscles to relax. Peppermint has a long history of use for relieving the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.
Help Relieve Abdominal Discomfort, Cramping, Pain & Bloating
Studies have shown that peppermint oil helps reduce abdominal discomfort, pain and symptoms associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, in particular bloating, cramping & spasms (1,2).
Mintec IBS Relief capsules are enteric-coated, meaning the capsules pass through the stomach intact, delaying the release of the peppermint oil until the capsule reaches the bowel where it is needed to work (3).
It is FODMAP Friendly approved and displays the FODMAP Friendly certification on front of pack. To read more about irritable Bowel Syndrome, click here.
