Benefits
Digestive comfort
In a randomized placebo-controlled study, perilla extract improved everyday gastrointestinal discomfort, including bloating, rumbling, and a feeling of fullness.
Gut-calming support
Perilla polyphenols are studied for supporting a calm, comfortable gut and reducing the bothersome sensations of a sensitive digestive system.
Antioxidant gut support
Rosmarinic acid provides antioxidant and soothing support to the digestive lining.
Mechanism of action
Anti-inflammatory polyphenols
Perilla's rosmarinic acid and luteolin calm inflammatory and spasmodic signaling in the gut, easing discomfort and bloating.
Gut-motility support
The extract is thought to support more comfortable, regular gut motility and reduced gas-related distension.
