Viridian Delayed Release Peppermint Complex (90 Capsules)

Peppermint oil in a capsule that's actually built to do its job. Viridian Delayed Release Peppermint Complex uses a delayed-release shell so the oil bypasses the stomach and arrives where most people want it working: in the gut itself.

It's one of those products customers come back for repeatedly. Bloating after meals, a temperamental tummy, that grumbly mid-afternoon feeling. Peppermint oil has a long traditional use for digestive comfort, and the science behind targeted-release formats is part of why this version has built a reputation.

Why the delayed-release part matters

Most standard peppermint capsules release their oil in the stomach, which isn't really where you want it acting. The delayed-release coating used here is designed to stay intact through stomach acid and open further down the digestive tract. That means more of the peppermint oil reaches the area it's actually traditionally used to support, and you avoid the minty reflux that puts people off regular peppermint oil capsules.

Viridian formulates this one with menthol-rich peppermint oil alongside ginger and fennel, both of which have long-standing traditional use for digestive support. It's the sort of capsule that sits quietly in your routine and just gets on with the job.

Who tends to reach for it

People with a sensitive digestive system who don't want to keep reaching for over-the-counter remedies after every meal. Anyone who feels bloated, sluggish, or windy and is tired of putting up with it. Travellers who know their gut tends to throw a wobbly when routine changes. Customers working on their gut health alongside dietary changes, gentle exercise, and better sleep.

It pairs well with a quality probiotic if you're rebuilding gut routine from the ground up. Plenty of customers stack it with a digestive enzyme too, particularly if heavy meals are part of the issue.

Why Viridian, and why this one

Viridian is the UK supplement brand a lot of practitioners reach for first. Ethically sourced raw materials, no nasty fillers or excipients, hand-blended in small batches in Northamptonshire, and a refreshingly honest approach to formulation. Their delayed-release peppermint sits at the higher-quality end of the peppermint capsule market, which is exactly where you want to be when the whole point of the product is the delivery system.

How to take it

One capsule, two or three times daily, typically taken before meals with a glass of water. Don't chew or break the capsule - that defeats the delayed-release coating. Most people start to notice their digestive routine settling within a couple of weeks of consistent use.

Not recommended during pregnancy unless you've spoken to your GP or midwife. If you're on prescription medication, particularly anything for reflux or stomach acid, check with your pharmacist first.

The bigger picture

Digestive comfort isn't usually a one-product fix. The customers who get the best results tend to look at the whole routine: chewing properly, eating slower, watching the obvious trigger foods, and supporting the gut with a sensible stack rather than throwing supplements at a lifestyle problem.

If you'd like a hand putting that routine together, walk into the shop at 22 Hyde Rd, Paignton or call us on 07711 393130. We've been doing this since 2006 and have had every variation of that conversation.
