Product Description

Package Quantity: 1

NOW® Peppermint Oil is an extremely potent form of the ancient herb peppermint. We enteric coat our softgels to allow the three herbal oils to pass through the stomach and release within the intestines. This same potency has been used in research studies. Peppermint - this nutrient rich member of the mint family contains menthol - a potent compound that has been used for centuries to help encourage optimal health and wellness. Most notably, it has the ability to promote healthy digestion and may also be able to normalize enzymatic activity. Many have relied on this all natural extract to freshen breath, calm upset stomachs and ease minor tensions. Will I experience an aftertaste from taking peppermint gels? These capsules are enteric-coated to release in a pH of 5.5 or greater. They are not designed to open or to digest in the stomach. This will reduce the small possibility of these oils repeating. People will not normally taste these after they take them on an empty stomach. In the unlikely event that you do get an aftertaste from these oils "

5.0 out of 5 stars Saved my life!, June 18, 2009

This review is from: Now Foods Peppermint Gels, 90 gels (Health and Beauty)

I have had lupus-induced IBS since I was 12, and in the 9 years since, I have tried every IBS medication that has been on (and pulled off) the market. I finally gave up and decided to just live with not knowing when I was going to be in pain, what would trigger it that day, etc. Then I heard about these capsules from a friend, and decided to try it. Words can't express the difference these pills have made! I started by taking one capsule 2-3 times a day, and within a month, I completely stopped having any attacks, or even any of the minor symptoms I used to have. I now only need to take one capsule every day, and it still works! All of the other meds made me tired or had other side effects, or just didn't help at all, but I haven't noticed any side effects in the two months I've been taking this. If you have even minor IBS, you should consider trying these capsules. They're so much safer than the prescription meds out there, they won't make you feel foggy or tired like the Hyomax does, and they work so much better!

I read that this would help my nervous stomach. I deal with a lot of high pressure in my line of work and don't always eat perfectly and even when I do I have issues because of the high stress in front me at times. I tried them on a whim and I can't tell you what a huge difference I have experienced! I still think you need to eat properly and that this is not a magic bullet for a crappy diet, but if you have trouble with digestion even though you are conscious of what you eat, these are for you! Great product, fast acting and truly amazing. I use a lot of products from NOW and feel very confident in the quality and value of everything that they make.

No problems, got here on time.

Provider was great.

As for the product itself it works very well but can leave you with some burps that taste odd but makes your bowels much more healthy. Try not to take this with other medications or supplements as it does alter your gut flora and may change how other elements are digested. I'd say anywhere from 1-3 hour space is best. Take it early in the morning before you eat breakfast or late at night before sleep preferably.

One per day is more than enough for people with rare to moderate intestinal disturbances.
