The Formula
Five actives. Every one of them named.
Most supplements hide behind the phrase proprietary blend. It sounds like protection. Usually it means the amounts are too small to admit to.
Here is the whole list in one view, and below it what each one is doing in the jar.
- Ginger Zingiber officinale Supports comfortable digestion after eating.
- Dandelion Taraxacum officinale Supports normal fluid balance.
- Fennel Foeniculum vulgare The traditional after-meal herb.
- Vitamin B6 As named on the label Contributes to normal energy metabolism.
- Potassium (citrate) A mineral salt Supports normal fluid balance.
Ginger
Zingiber officinale
The centre of the formula, and the ingredient with the longest record of traditional use behind it. Women across this region have used it for generations for digestion, and for the trapped-air feeling that follows a heavy meal.
Dandelion
Taraxacum officinale
Associated with the body's natural fluid balance. Most products that mention dandelion never say which part of the plant went in, and we would rather print the part than leave it to the reader to assume.
Fennel
Foeniculum vulgare
A calm-belly herb your grandmother would recognise, and part of why this formula is gentle rather than aggressive.
Vitamin B6
Contributes to normal energy metabolism. That is the only formally approved claim we hold, and we would rather tell you exactly that than imply anything larger.
Potassium (citrate)
Supports normal fluid balance. The label declares potassium, supplied as citrate: the number on the jar is the potassium, not the weight of the salt. A mineral, despite the name. No citrus involved.
The base: vegan pectin
No gelatin. Not now, not later. That is not a formulation detail. It is the reason a great many women can take this at all. The pack states halal and vegan.
What is not in it
No maltitol. No sorbitol. Both are sugar alcohols that are themselves a common cause of bloating. Putting them into a gummy meant for the appearance of bloating ought to be unthinkable, and a surprising number of products do it anyway.
No proprietary blends. No senna either, and nothing else that works by forcing the issue.
Where the amounts are printed
Every amount is on the jar, in the panel on the back, next to the allergen declaration. The label gives the weight of each extract. It does not give an extraction ratio, and neither do we, because we do not have one to give. We would rather say that than let a figure look like more than it is.
Two gummies each morning, with water. That is the entire ritual.
