Iberogast is easy to use – simply take Iberogast drops 3 times a day in a small glass of whatever liquid you like for proven, fast relief from the symptoms of medically diagnosed IBS and functional indigestion.

How Iberogast Works:

Digestive secretions are stimulated through the bitter receptors on the taste buds of the tongue. Peristalsis is regulated by exerting a relaxing or stimulating effect on the intestinal smooth muscle. Additionally, the lining of the stomach and intestines is protected by the stimulation of mucus production by mast cells. Inflammatory substances are prevented from forming within the intestinal tract. Excessive flatulence is prevented by reducing the formation of intestinal gasses.
