What is Mintec?
Soothing relief anywhere, anytime
Mintec capsules contain peppermint oil, a natural antispasmodic which has been extensively researched. Peppermint oil is derived from essential oils of the peppermint plant.

The medicinal use of peppermint dates back to the herbal pharmacopoeia of ancient Greece where peppermint leaf was used traditionally as a digestive aid.
Peppermint oil is prepared through distillation of the ground parts of the peppermint plant and contains the active ingredients menthol, menthone, cineole and several other volatile components. In clinical studies, enteric coated peppermint oil has been shown to provide targeted relief of the symptoms of medically diagnosed Irritable Bowel Syndrome, such as abdominal pain, cramps, bloating and wind.

How does Mintec work?
Mintec capsules have a specially formulated coating (called enteric coating) that allows the capsules to pass through the stomach intact.
This delays the release of the peppermint oil until it reaches the intestinal tract and effectively targets the site of the pain. Mintec causes the bowel muscle to relax, which helps restore normal contractions and relieves discomfort and pain.
Unlike some antispasmodic medications, Mintec acts only on the muscles of the bowel and does not affect the rest of the body.
