Peppermint Oil 100 mg Enteric Coated 90 Capsules

Lamberts Peppermint Oil contains 100 mg of concentrated peppermint extract (Mentha piperita) packaged in special enteric-coated capsules specifically designed to protect the oil from corrosive stomach acid and release its contents in the small intestine where it is most effective. Peppermint is an aromatic herb with a thousand-year-old traditional use in Western and Eastern folk medicine to promote comfortable digestion and complete gastrointestinal well-being.

Peppermint oil effectively contributes to complete digestive comfort, promotes normal intestinal motility, and provides a refreshing, soothing, and antispasmodic sensation to an irritated digestive tract. It is especially useful after heavy or fatty meals, during periods of slow and sluggish digestion, or to reduce uncomfortable post-prandial abdominal bloating, discomfort, and feelings of heaviness. Its volatile compounds are better absorbed in the intestine. Highly tolerated. Take 1-2 capsules daily before meals. 90 capsules. Lamberts.

The main components of peppermint oil include menthol (35-55%), menthone, and other volatile monoterpenes that exert multiple pharmacological actions. Menthol acts as a partial agonist of the TRPM8 receptor, a cold-sensitive calcium channel expressed in intestinal sensory neurons, producing a sensation of coolness and reducing feelings of intestinal cramps. Simultaneously, other components of peppermint oil act as spasmolytics, relaxing the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract.
