Peppermint leaf

75 mgper scoop

What it is

Peppermint is traditionally used for digestive comfort, and peppermint oil has real research behind it for bloating and cramping.

Why it is in ONCE DUSK

Like ginger, it does double duty: digestive support and flavour, in a formula that deliberately avoids citric and malic acid.

Why this dose

75 mg of leaf. Worth being precise: the strongest research in this area is on enteric coated peppermint OIL, which is a different preparation at a different dose. Peppermint leaf at 75 mg is a supporting ingredient.

The form we specify

Also contributes to the flavour system.

How it works with the rest of the formula

Peppermint and ginger are the flavour-and-comfort pair in the gut group, sitting alongside the enzyme blend that does the heavier work. All three help DUSK avoid citric and malic acid, which keeps the finished drink close to neutral pH.

What to look for on any label

The distinction that matters is leaf versus enteric coated oil. The clinical research on bloating and cramping is largely on enteric coated peppermint OIL, at doses and in a delivery format that a drink mix cannot replicate. If that is specifically what you need, buy that, and do not let any powder including this one tell you it is the same thing.

The honest limit

If bloating and cramping are your main problem, enteric coated peppermint oil is the preparation with the research behind it, and it is not what this is.
