Mint used to soothe digestion and freshen breath

We rank Peppermint by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.

What it is

Peppermint is a variety of mint plant. In supplement form, it is typically used as a dried leaf powder or an extracted oil.

Why it's used

It is primarily used for two reasons:

How it's made

The plant is grown and harvested, then processed depending on the final product. For powders, the leaves are dried and ground down. For oils, the plant undergoes steam distillation, where steam is used to pull the essential oils out of the plant material.

What it typically costs

This ingredient is considered mid-range in price. This is because while the plant is relatively easy to grow, the process of extracting high-quality oils requires specific equipment and refining.
