Our advanced delivery system

SST® technology is designed to deliver ingredients to the small intestine, and dissolve throughout
  • Herbal ingredients are contained in tiny spheres which pass through the stomach
  • The spheres are triple coated and designed to minimize the potential of early release of peppermint oil in the stomach
  • Once in the small intestine, the layers dissolve gradually, soothing the lining and calming the muscles
  • Starts working in as little as 24 hours

Outer Coating: keeps spheres from sticking and allows them to travel freely through the stomach

Middle Coating: resists stomach acid so it only breaks down in the small instestine

Inner Coating: seals the active ingredients of the herbal

Core: herbal ingredients

Not all peppermint oil supplements are created equal.

Most peppermint oil supplements have a single layer coating that quickly dissolves.
