Peppermint Oil is an extremely potent form of the ancient herb Peppermint. NOW
has added Ginger and Fennel Oils for their synergistic effects. They enteric
coat their softgels to allow the three herbal oils to pass through the stomach and
release within the intestines.
These capsules are enteric-coated to release in a pH of 5.5 or higher. They
are designed to not open in the stomach. This will reduce the small
possibility of this oil "repeating". People will not normally taste this after
they take them on an empty stomach. In the unlikely event that you experience an
aftertaste from this product,
try to take them a short time BEFORE a meal, so that they will still pass
through the stomach undigested. The food in the stomach could then form a
physical barrier to the oils moving back up. These capsules are designed to
withstand over an hour of exposure to
stomach acid, but will dissolve in less than an hour in the more alkaline
intestinal juices.
Recommended Use: As a dietary supplement, take 1 softgel 1 to 3 times daily, preferably between meals.
