What does it do?

Fennel is a plant-based ingredient used as a spice, traditionally used for relieving indigestion and abdominal pain. In pharmaceuticals, it is mainly utilized as a carminative to promote gastric motility and aid digestion.

Fennel stimulates the gastrointestinal muscles, promoting the secretion of digestive fluids and activating intestinal movements. As a result, food is digested more effectively, reducing abdominal bloating and discomfort.

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

Good to know

Unlike other carminative ingredients, fennel is characterized by being a naturally derived plant-based ingredient with fewer side effects, and its distinctive aroma gently aids in stimulating the digestive tract.
