IBgard

IBgard is a medical food specially formulated for the dietary management of IBS. IBgard capsules contain individually triple-coated, sustained-release microspheres of Ultramen®, an ultrapurified peppermint oil, along with fiber and amino acids (from gelatin protein). In a 2016 peer-reviewed and published clinical study,†† IBSREST (IBS Response Evaluation and Safety Trial), IBgard, taken daily and proactively 30 to 90 minutes before meals, was shown to start working in as early as 24 hours and the benefit grew at 4 weeks.†† In a real-world, patient-reported outcomes trial, IBSACTTM(IBS Adherence and Compliance Trial), published in a peer-reviewed journal, §§ IBgard showed efficacy in 1-2 hours.
