• ✗The 50mg dose is low compared with the peppermint oil doses usually studied for IBS
• ✗A few reviewers mention a very strong minty taste or aftertaste that lingers, and one found the capsules a little too strong
• ✗One reviewer saw no benefit after two months and stopped taking them

Best For

Pros

• ✓Many reviewers say it clearly reduced bloating and gas, including people with IBS and one taking Wegovy
• ✓Two reviewers with constipation, one with IBS and one on a mainly carnivore diet, say their bowel movements became regular
• ✓Some people feel it working fast: one says within minutes, another says about half an hour after a tablet
• ✓A broad enzyme mix, including lactase for dairy, plus betaine HCl for stomach acid support

Cons

• ✗Contains wheat and soy, even though it's marketed to allergy sufferers and labelled gluten-free. One reviewer was unhappy to find these in it
• ✗A few reviewers noticed no difference at all, and one said it made their bloating worse
• ✗Two reviewers got faulty stock: one tub arrived damaged and wet, and in another the tablets were glued together. That buyer said no refund was offered and getting a replacement was slow
• ✗The information provided gives no enzyme activity levels or betaine dose, and it lacks the extra protein-digesting enzymes trypsin and chymotrypsin (one reviewer noted this). It isn't third-party tested
