About This Product
Peppermint Mentha piperita
Peppermint (Mentha piperita) is one of the most widely used aromatic herbs in the world, with applications spanning food, pharma, nutraceuticals, oral care and cosmetics. Its key bioactive, menthol (≥40% in dried herb), provides the characteristic cooling sensation and drives efficacy in IBS management, digestive support, headache relief and antimicrobial applications. Additional constituents include menthone, menthofuran, isomenthol and cineole.
