leaderboard Score 20.0
A digestive aid with very low, ineffective doses of rosemary and thyme oil for brain, mental focus, or hair health, despite being listed for these goals.
This product is primarily designed as an enteric-coated blend of peppermint, thyme, and rosemary oils. Peppermint oil is widely recognized by nutritionists and online reviews for its effectiveness in soothing digestive issues, especially IBS, due to the enteric coating preventing heartburn. However, its contribution to brain health, mental focus, or hair health through oral ingestion at these doses is minimal and not well-supported by scientific consensus. While rosemary oil has emerging research for cognitive benefits and is popular for hair growth (mainly topical application), the 18mg dose in this blend is extremely low for systemic effects compared to dedicated rosemary supplements. Thyme oil's relevance to these goals is also negligible.
- Enteric coating is beneficial for digestive comfort, preventing peppermint-related heartburn.
- Very cost-effective per serving if one were seeking a general essential oil blend.
- Extremely low and likely ineffective doses of rosemary and thyme for the stated brain, mental focus, and hair health goals.
- The primary benefit of the formulation (enteric coating) targets digestive issues, not cognitive or hair health.
- Peppermint oil can cause heartburn or acid reflux in some individuals if not enteric-coated; this product mitigates that.
- Always consult a healthcare professional before starting new supplements.

Categories
Rosemary 20.0
Contains rosemary oil, but at a very minimal and ineffective dose (18mg) for general rosemary benefits compared to dedicated rosemary supplements.
Goals
Brain Health 15.0
The very low dosage of rosemary and thyme oil provides negligible support for brain health or mental focus. Peppermint oil's primary benefit is digestive, with only weak or indirect links to cognitive function via oral intake at this level.
Mental Focus 15.0
Similar to brain health, the constituent oils are not present in sufficient quantities or forms to reliably enhance mental focus when taken orally. Dedicated nootropics or higher-dose single herbs would be far more effective.
Hair Health 10.0
While rosemary oil is popular for hair growth, the 18mg dose is extremely small and unlikely to provide any significant systemic benefits for hair health via oral consumption, especially compared to topical applications or higher oral doses.
