O2B Gastric Relief is a liquid herbal formula containing peppermint, liquorice, bladderwrack, meadowsweet, valerian, cranesbill and barberry.
It is designed to support digestive secretions, nutrient absorption, intestinal movement and the health of the gastrointestinal lining.
What is the product used for?
It provides traditional herbal support for:
- Comfortable digestion
- Normal digestive secretions
- Nutrient breakdown and absorption
- Healthy intestinal movement
- The gastrointestinal lining
- A balanced digestive environment
How much should adults take?
Adults take 5–10ml up to three times daily before meals, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
Can children take Gastric Relief?
Children over five take half the adult serving.
The adult serving is 5–10ml.
Half of this is 2.5–5ml, taken up to three times daily before meals.
When should I take it?
Take the formula before meals.
This timing is designed to support the digestive processes involved in preparing for and responding to food.
Can I take it only when my digestion feels unsettled?
People seeking ongoing digestive support may find a consistent pre-meal routine more practical than waiting until discomfort has already developed.
Does Gastric Relief work immediately?
The liquid format is fast acting, but individual experiences vary.
Does it treat indigestion?
It supports normal digestive function and may suit people experiencing occasional digestive heaviness or discomfort.
It is not a treatment for persistent indigestion or an underlying medical condition.
Can it help with bloating?
The peppermint and broader digestive blend may support comfort and normal gastrointestinal movement.
Persistent or severe bloating may require assessment of food intolerances, constipation, medication, infection or another cause.
Can it help with wind?
Peppermint is traditionally used in formulas supporting digestive comfort and the normal movement of gas through the digestive tract.
Results vary between individuals.
Can it help when food feels like it sits heavily?
The formula supports normal digestive secretions, gastric processes and movement through the gastrointestinal tract.
Repeated heaviness, early fullness or nausea should be discussed with a healthcare professional.
Can it support nutrient absorption?
Normal digestive secretions and a healthy intestinal lining contribute to the breakdown and absorption of nutrients.
Gastric Relief supports these normal processes but does not treat a diagnosed malabsorption condition.
What does gastrointestinal motility mean?
Gastrointestinal motility is the coordinated movement that carries food through the stomach and intestines.
The product is designed to support normal intestinal movement and function.
Does it support the stomach lining?
Liquorice and meadowsweet are traditionally used to support and soothe the mucous membranes of the digestive tract.
Can it treat a stomach ulcer?
No.
A suspected stomach or duodenal ulcer requires professional diagnosis and treatment.
Can I take it for reflux or heartburn?
Peppermint can be unsuitable for some people who experience reflux because it may aggravate their symptoms.
Seek professional advice before use if heartburn or reflux is a regular concern.
Why is liquorice included?
Liquorice is traditionally used to support the mucous membranes lining the stomach and intestines.
It also provides soothing support within digestive herbal formulas.
Why is peppermint included?
Peppermint is traditionally used to support digestive comfort, normal gastrointestinal movement and the management of occasional wind.
Why is valerian in a digestive formula?
The nervous and digestive systems are closely connected.
Valerian provides traditional calming support, which may be relevant when stress or tension affects digestion.
Why is meadowsweet included?
Meadowsweet is traditionally used to support digestive comfort and the stomach lining.
Why is bladderwrack included?
Bladderwrack is a mineral-containing seaweed traditionally used in digestive and metabolic herbal formulas.
Does bladderwrack contain iodine?
Seaweeds may naturally contain iodine, so people with thyroid conditions or iodine-sensitive requirements should seek professional advice before use.
Why is barberry included?
Barberry has traditionally been used in formulas supporting digestion, bile-related processes and normal intestinal function.
Can I take it with Pure Bitters?
Both products are taken before meals and support digestion, but they use different herbal approaches.
Taking both may be unnecessary. Choose the formula that best matches your needs or seek advice before combining them.
What is the difference between Gastric Relief and Pure Bitters?
Pure Bitters is a concentrated gentian spray designed to stimulate the pre-meal bitter-taste response.
Gastric Relief is a broader liquid herbal blend supporting digestive secretions, gastrointestinal comfort, intestinal movement and the digestive lining.
Will valerian make me sleepy?
The amount and individual response may vary.
Valerian is traditionally used as a calming herb, so take care when first using the formula if you are sensitive to sedating ingredients.
How should I store Gastric Relief?
Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight.
Keep it out of reach of children and follow any additional storage directions on the packaging.
