Peppermint oil comes from the mint family, which is known to be nutrient rich. For centuries, it has been used to relieve upset stomach and minor tensions and freshen breath. Taken orally, it is often used as a digestive aid and is known to help relieve the stomach from intestinal cramping, as well as other gas-related conditions.

The enteric coated used on Vitabase Peppermint Extract Gels keeps the precious oil from breaking down in the intestinal tract and until it reaches the small intestine, where peppermint is most effective in addressing digestive conditions. This also eliminates aftertaste, which often occurs when ingesting peppermint. Also included are Fennel Oil and Ginger Oil which provide synergistic benefits to the intestinal tract.
