Peppermint Plus

IBS- Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a very common disorder and has been estimated to effect up to 15% of people. Many sufferers go undiagnosed. Patients should alert their doctor to any symptoms.

Peppermint is historically one of the most common herbs used to aid digestion. Peppermint Plus is enteric coated so that the peppermint oil can reach the small intestine without being broken down by stomach acids. Peppermint Oil has been shown to improve the rhythmic contraction of the small intestine which then relieves intestinal spasms. Bloating and abdominal discomfort are often then relieved. Peppermint in an essential oil form may also help control Candida.

Dosage: .2 mg twice daily between meals
