Peppermint leaf
Traditional symptomatic relief of mild digestive disorders such as dyspepsia and flatulence in adults.
How it is used: Peppermint leaf can be prepared as an infusion. Preparation instructions are kept separate from this ingredient-level health-use claim.
What does this evidence mean?
Peppermint leaf has a recognized traditional use for relieving mild digestive symptoms such as indigestion and flatulence. This is based on long-standing use rather than strong clinical-trial evidence.
Evidence may apply to one specific form of an ingredient — a capsule, extract, cream, or tea — and to a particular amount. Recipes and everyday foods may not match the form or amount that was studied.
For ongoing support
These options are better suited to regular or longer-term use than to quick symptom relief.
