And you thought spearmint was just a favorite flavor of chewing gum! Spearmint is one of the best known "mints," and its wonderful fragrance adds flavor to many teas, gums, drinks and other treats. But you may not know that spearmint also has health benefits. Enjoy everything spearmint has to offer with Swanson Full Spectrum Spearmint Leaf, a whole-leaf formula made without any unnecessary processing.
Traditionally, spearmint has been a favorite for digestive health, with its soothing properties that help ease occasional gas and bloating, which is why spearmint teas are so popular.
Spearmint also shows promise for liver health support.1 A healthy liver is key to the body’s natural detoxification processes which in turn encourage healthy energy levels, immune function and skin. Emerging research suggests spearmint also supports heart health thanks to its high content of antioxidant flavonoids, specifically rosmarinic acid.2 These antioxidant flavonoids may also help protect our skin as we age by defending against damaging free radicals.

FAQ
Q: How does spearmint support digestive health?
A: Spearmint has long been used to help soothe the digestive tract and support comfort after meals. Its natural compounds may help ease occasional gas and bloating, which is why spearmint is commonly enjoyed as a tea.
Q: Can spearmint support skin and hormonal balance?
