Peppermint Oil Capsules (enteric-coated)

for IBS / Bloating

Enteric-coated peppermint oil capsules release in the small intestine and are one of the most evidence-backed natural treatments for IBS pain and bloating.

How it works

L-menthol relaxes intestinal smooth muscle by blocking calcium channels, reducing spasms and visceral hypersensitivity.

What to watch for

Must be enteric-coated to work in the gut. Plain capsules dissolve in the stomach and can cause heartburn. Take 30–60 minutes before meals.
