Fennel

Supports healthy digestion by promoting a normal balance in the gut microbiome.

Foeniculum vulgare, commonly known as fennel, has been used for centuries in traditional medicine systems, including Traditional Chinese Medicine, where it was used to treat rheumatism, cold pain, and various stomach disorders.¹

Modern research supports these traditional uses. In vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated fennel’s antioxidant activity and its potential for a range of health benefits.²

A recent review highlighted its effectiveness in supporting memory function, while a small randomized controlled trial suggested it may help support a normal stress response in women.³⁴

The European Medicines Agency recognizes fennel’s role in supporting normal digestive transit time, especially in cases of bacterial imbalance.⁵

Specifically for digestion, fennel helps maintain a healthy balance of gut bacteria—alleviating symptoms such as bloating, gas, and constipation.⁶
