What does it do?

Pinen is a natural aromatic compound extracted primarily from coniferous trees such as pine, used in pharmaceuticals for the purpose of alleviating gastrointestinal symptoms and improving gastrointestinal function. It is a mixture of two isomers, alpha-pinen and beta-pinen, which help relieve dyspepsia or abdominal pain.

Pinen relaxes the muscles of the gastrointestinal tract, reduces spasms, and stimulates the secretion of digestive fluids, thereby improving digestive function. As a result, symptoms of abdominal pain or dyspepsia are alleviated.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.

Good to know

Unlike other aromatic terpenes, pinen has a specific antispasmodic effect on the gastrointestinal tract, making it primarily used for alleviating gastrointestinal symptoms. Additionally, the combined action of alpha and beta isomers leads to a harmonious effect.
