NOW Foods Peppermint Gels with Ginger & Fennel - Enteric Coated Digestive Support

NOW Foods has been a pioneer in natural wellness solutions since 1968, and their Peppermint Gels represent decades of herbal expertise combined with modern enteric coating technology. This specialized intestinal comfort formula delivers 0.4 mL of pure peppermint oil alongside ginger and fennel oils—now available across Bangladesh at a transparent price of ৳2,350 for 90 softgels. Designed specifically for gastrointestinal support, these enteric-coated softgels bypass stomach acid to release their botanical oils directly in the intestines, where they provide maximum benefit for occasional digestive discomfort common among Bangladeshis dealing with spicy foods and irregular meal patterns.

What Makes NOW Foods Peppermint Gels Different?

Unlike standard peppermint capsules that dissolve in the stomach (causing heartburn or reduced effectiveness), NOW's pharmaceutical-grade enteric coating technology ensures the peppermint oil reaches your intestines intact. This methacrylic acid-based coating withstands stomach acid for 30-45 minutes, then dissolves precisely where the volatile oils can work most effectively. The formula combines three synergistic botanical oils: peppermint for smooth muscle relaxation, ginger for digestive motility, and fennel for gas relief—a trio recommended by traditional herbalists for centuries and now validated by modern research. NOW Foods sources pharmaceutical-grade essential oils and uses BSE-free bovine gelatin in their softgels, ensuring both purity and ethical sourcing. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality testing at NOW's GMP-certified facilities in Illinois, USA, guaranteeing consistent potency and freedom from contaminants—a critical distinction in Bangladesh's supplement market where counterfeit digestive aids are common.

Key Health Benefits & Why Bangladesh Needs Digestive Support

Peppermint oil has been scientifically shown to support normal gastrointestinal function by helping relax intestinal smooth muscles, which may ease occasional cramping, bloating, and minor bowel discomfort. For Bangladeshis whose diets are rich in rice, lentils, and spicy curries—foods that can sometimes challenge digestion—this formula offers natural support without the side effects of synthetic medications. The addition of ginger oil (35.2 mg per serving) supports healthy digestive motility and may help with occasional nausea, while fennel oil (38.6 mg) has traditionally been used to relieve gas and support comfortable digestion. These three botanical oils work synergistically: peppermint calms intestinal spasms, ginger promotes movement through the digestive tract, and fennel helps reduce gas formation. This makes the formula particularly beneficial for those experiencing occasional digestive upset after meals, during travel, or during periods of dietary changes. The enteric coating ensures these volatile oils aren't destroyed by stomach acid, delivering them where they're needed most—the small and large intestines.

Purity & Safety Standards

• Manufactured in NOW Foods' GMP-certified facility in Bloomingdale, Illinois, USA

How to Use NOW Peppermint Gels - Dosage & Timing

Recommended Dosage: Take 1-2 softgels, 1 to 3 times daily, preferably 30 minutes before meals. Taking the softgels before eating allows the enteric coating to time its release for when food enters your intestines, maximizing digestive support.

Timing Tips: For best results, take with a small glass of water on an empty stomach. If you experience digestive discomfort after specific meals (like spicy lunches or heavy dinners), take 1-2 softgels 30 minutes beforehand as a preventive measure. The enteric coating requires this pre-meal timing to work effectively.

Storage Instructions: Store in a cool, dry place after opening. Keep the bottle tightly closed to preserve the potency of the essential oils. Avoid storing in humid areas like bathrooms.

Important Safety Information

Who should NOT use this product:

• Individuals allergic to peppermint, fennel, or ginger
• Pregnant or nursing women (not recommended)
• Children under 18 years (for adults only)
• Those with liver or kidney disease (consult physician first)
• People taking medications that may interact with peppermint oil (consult physician)

If you experience any adverse reactions, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. Keep out of reach of children.

Price, Value & Availability in Bangladesh

Transparent Pricing

Current Price: ৳2,350 for 90 enteric-coated softgels

Cost Per Serving: At the maximum dosage of 2 softgels three times daily, this bottle provides a 15-day supply (৳157 per day). At the minimum dosage of 1 softgel once daily, it lasts 90 days (৳26 per day)—making it highly cost-effective for occasional use.

Value Comparison: While some generic peppermint capsules may seem cheaper, they lack the crucial enteric coating that ensures intestinal delivery. Without this coating, much of the peppermint oil is wasted in the stomach or causes heartburn. NOW's pharmaceutical-grade formulation with synergistic ginger and fennel oils offers superior value through proven delivery technology and comprehensive digestive support.
