Description
Description
Peppermint (Mentha × piperita) is a popular herb known for its refreshing aroma and cooling properties.
When harvested and carefully processed, the leaves of this aromatic plant can be dried and finely cut to preserve their essential oils and beneficial compounds.
These cut herbs are then encapsulated in vegan-friendly capsules, typically made from plant-based materials such as cellulose or pullulan.
This method of preparation allows for convenient consumption while maintaining the integrity of the herb's natural components.
The use of vegan capsules ensures that the peppermint supplement is suitable for those following plant-based diets or individuals with dietary restrictions.
These capsules are designed to dissolve efficiently in the digestive system, releasing the peppermint herbs for optimal absorption.
The encapsulation process also helps to protect the cut herbs from external factors such as light, air, and moisture, which can degrade the quality of the plant material over time.
This preservation technique allows for a longer shelf life and maintains the potency of the peppermint's active constituents.
