The sensitive gut soothed
We feature a number of highly researched, unique products which support healthy intestinal function, including acidity, motility, healthy bacteria (probiotics), prebiotics, and other aspects pertaining to sensitive guts.
IBEROGAST (Medical Futures, Steigerwald original formula)
Marketed for dyspepsia, bloating, nausea, stomach discomfort and heartburn and extremely popular in Europe, Iberogast was recently difficult to obtain, but is now available again. A primary use in Germany is for abnormal intestinal motility. The nine different herbal extracts have a regulatory influence on the entire gastrointestinal tract. Its name is derived from its main component, Iberis amara, which has a tone-promoting and anti-inflammatory effect.
It is said to work in four different ways:
- Accelerates gastric emptying
- Reduces pain and cramping
- Alleviates heartburn
- Relieves bloating and induces expulsion of gas from the intestines
Contents include a blend of German chamomile (Matricaria recutita) flower, Clown’s Mustard (Iberis amara) plant, angelica (Angelica archangelica) root and rhizome, caraway (Carum carvi) fruit, milk thistle (Silybum marianum) fruit, lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) leaf, celandine (Chelidonium majus) aerial part, licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) root, and peppermint (Mentha x piperita) leaf.
Iberogast was studied and reported in the American Journal of Gastroenterology in June, 2007, and appears in Wikipedia as well.
Taken before or with meals, 3x/day with warm water or other drink, it is supplied in 3.4oz=100mL vials.
