Swanson Spearmint Leaf Full Spectrum Digestive Supplement for Digestive-Comfort-Seeking Adults - 400 mg Mentha Spicata (60 Capsules)

The Context I’ve been researching the benefits of spearmint for a while—specifically for its anti-androgenic properties and digestive soothing—but drinking 3+ cups of tea a day just wasn't sustainable for my schedule. I decided to switch to these capsules for the convenience and consistency of dosage. Product Quality & Experience • Ease of Use: The capsules are a standard size (easy to swallow) and don't have that chalky texture some herbal supplements suffer from. • Taste/Scent: There is a faint, pleasant minty scent when you open the bottle, but absolutely no "minty burps" or aftertaste, which was a major concern of mine. • Ingredients: I appreciate the transparency of the label. There are no unnecessary fillers or artificial dyes, which is a huge plus for those of us with sensitive systems. Performance & Results I’ve been taking these consistently for 30 days, and here is what I’ve noticed: 1. Skin Clarity: While herbal remedies take time, I’ve noticed a significant reduction in the hormonal congestion around my jawline. 2. Digestive Comfort: These are excellent for post-meal bloating. They seem to settle the stomach much faster than peppermint oil, which can sometimes be too "sharp" for my reflux. 3. No Side Effects: I haven't experienced any jitters or stomach upset, even when taking them on a relatively empty stomach. Pros & Cons ✅ Pros: • Potent dosage in a single-capsule serving. • Much more convenient than brewing loose-leaf tea. • Gentle on the stomach compared to peppermint alternatives. ❌ Cons: • The bottle is a bit oversized for the quantity of capsules (could be more eco-friendly).

i am going to give a long winded explanation of my experience, but summary: if you’re a female and think your acne is caused by high androgens, BUY THIS! first of all i am 22 and female and have tried EVERYTHING when it comes to hormonal acne — dozens of prescription creams/washes, accutane, spironolactone, daily antibiotics, birth control, etc. and i never dreamed i would find a holistic cure to my acne like spearmint. my full backstory: birth control and spironolactone cleared my hormonal acne, but i found out i can’t take spironolactone because it messed up my period, and i didn’t want to be on the pill so i was at a loss. my skin was getting worse and worse, and was at it’s all time worst this past winter — cystic acne on my cheeks which i never experienced before, acne ALL over my forehead, just acne everywhere a new ones would come everyday. i didn’t want to see anyone and i felt so ugly. then i read this random website about drinking spearmint tea to decrease androgens in females (which are like male hormones thought to cause acne, etc) so i decided to try it — 3 cups/day — with literally zero expectations. within FIVE days my skin was the clearest it had been in months. i was sure i had found a miracle cure. but then, i missed my period and had stomach issues from the tea so i stopped drinking so much and my acne came back. i was DEVASTATED because i didn’t want to take any more prescriptions. in retrospect you’d probably be fine just drinking 1-2 cups per day but whatever. then i found these. these spearmint supplements SAVED my skin! i take them every other day, and they have almost completely cleared my acne. i feel like they help with inflammation and other hormonal issues too. i try to map out when i breakout during my cycle and take more then, but it really feels kind of fool proof. the supplements are 10x more effective at clearing my skin than the tea was, with no more stomach issues and i get my period completely normally! seriously — why don’t doctors tell you this??? anyway if i can help just one girl who has suffered from acne for as long as she can remember, i will be so glad! i’ve already gotten on of my friends on the bandwagon and she also swears by spearmint now! seriously, if you’re about to give up hope — try this!

I suddenly started breaking out like I’m 16 again. I’m premenopausal and suddenly had issues trying to manage severe normal acne around my jawline. This helped tremendously!! Just a few days in of taking 2 pills a day and I notice a significant difference. Will continue to use and buy this product. Forget the dermatologist who told me it’s just makeup and I should switch…

This was fine. I took it to help with symptoms related to high androgen levels. Used up the bottle. No difference in my symptoms. Otherwise, it didn't really do anything for me. No negative reactions, no bad flavors, quality seemed fine. I'd recommend this brand if there are OTHER things you want to use it for.

Coincidence or this stuff actually works! My skin stopped breaking out about a month or so after I started taking these. I also take probiotics along with these. I've had very bad cystic acne these past several years. (40 year female)

Does wonders for my kid’s back acne.

Helped heal my rosecea along with other products.. Great product

I have PCOS and love the effects of spearmint. However, these pills are really hard to swallow. They’re wide. Unfortunately I have to go with another brand because of this. I’ve never experienced pills that are so hard to swallow.

I'm speechless and so happy. It seems to be working. This condition has caused me so much distress, and I'mpleasedd to have found this supplement.

Used for 2 months (ordered second bottle from another website because out of stock on amazon, it hasn't reached yet) and definitely saw a reduction (not 100%, around 60%) in hirsutism. No improvement in my moderate acne. Stopped spotting. Regularised flow. Took 1 capsule at night after dinner. Your mileage may vary. I was working out 30-40 mins a day and eating home food, no strict dieting, but after my PCOD diagnosis, even working out didn't help me alone, so I definitely attribute some success to this.

Seems to do what I need it to do. Hormones are starting to balance. I've lost some weight too which is almost impossible to do with PCOS.

My back acne vanished after 2 months after using this and primrose oil capsules together twice a day !

Works well.
