What Experts Say 

Digestive symptoms are often uncomfortable and distressing, so finding fast and reliable relief can help to bring you peace of mind. 

Iberogast® is one of the best researched herbal medicinal products for the treatment of functional gastrointestinal disorders, FD (Functional Dyspepsia). Iberogast® has been endorsed by medical professionals worldwide and is the number one herbal preparation for functional digestive disorders in Germany. It has been available for almost 60 years and has helped treat more than 90 million patients in more than 30 countries all over the world. Centuries of traditional knowledge of powerful herbal extracts’ high effectiveness have been confirmed by decades of robust scientific research – to produce a highly effective combination of nine herbal extracts.

The effectiveness of Iberogast® has been proven in many scientific studies 

Scientists have been studying functional digestive disorders for 3 decades. The ROME Foundation, an independent not-for-profit organization has been at the forefront of these efforts since the late 1980s. Their mission has been to "Improv[e] the lives of people with functional gastrointestinal disorders". In 1994 they published the Rome I criteria for the diagnosis and treatment of multiple disorders, including functional ones like IBS and functional dyspepsia. Since then they’ve continuously updated these criteria and the global knowledge of FGIDs. In the recent “ROME IV” publications, issued by special working groups of renowned gastroenterologists, Iberogast® is recommended for the treatment of patients with functional dyspepsia (irritable stomach). 

Iberogast® targets multiple digestive symptoms

Iberogast® relaxes stomach muscles relieving cramps, bloating and feelings of pressure

With hypertension of the muscles in the upper stomach, you may experience early satiety or a feeling of fullness.

Scientific studies confirm that Iberogast® relaxes the muscles of the gastrointestinal tract and is additionally able to relieve cramps, bloating and the feeling of pressure, essentially normalizing the function of the stomach.

  • Less food can be stored in the upper part of the stomach, which may lead to early satiety.

Iberogast® promotes digestive transport, relieving fullness & heaviness

When the muscles in the lower stomach are too relaxed, you might experience feelings of fullness and heaviness, as food is not properly transported further to the small intestine. 

Scientific studies have confirmed that Iberogast® has a dual effect on the movement of stomach muscles: it relaxes the muscles that impair the stomach from accommodating food and, at the same time, it also stimulates the muscles that are less tense than needed to move the food towards the intestine. In this way, it helps promote normal digestive transport, relieving uncomfortable feelings of fullness and heaviness. 

  • Improper distribution of food in the stomach may increase the pressure in the stomach.  

  • Food may stay in the stomach too long and is not moved onwards.

Iberogast® calm stomach nerves and reduces pain

Patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders are often hypersensitive to triggers in the GI tract, which can lead to a perception of intensified pain, compared to healthy individuals.  

Pharmacological studies have shown that Iberogast® is able to reduce the nerve activity triggered by different stimuli, which can reduce the hypersensitivity. 

At the same time, the anti-inflammatory properties of Iberogast® are able to lower pain resulting from inflammation.
