would it be the same to get just peppermint pills? whats the difference?

I believe that these ones are enterically coated so the release of the peppermint occurs in the intestine, not the stomach, reducing the reflux and irritation that peppermint can cause

The coating is enteric, therefore it's little to no peppermint burps and heartburn from these tabs. They are awesome.

Supposedly the Colpermin were stronger, but I found, after many months, that they did not always dissolve. I now use Pepogest and they seem to work well. Others may be ok, too. Just make sure they are enteric coated.

Capsule breaks down only in the intestine and release peppermint oil there. peppermint oil irritate the stomach.

Pure peppermint oil is what's in these. As long as you take pure peppermint there won't be much difference.

No. This is a very special formula with a special peppermint oil blended with arachis oil (peanut oil) and gelatin in .2 ml capsules in sustained release formula. To try and match their special blend would not be a good idea. If taken 3 times a day 1/2 hour before eating, you will notice a definite improvement. I tried taking the capsules along with my other pills at the same time. It really works better if you don't mix them all up with other pills. Stagger the other pills. It works better that way. I have also tried Heathers Peppermint oil gel pills, but I believe this formula is better because of the sustained relief. I highly recommend you give this medicine a try.

Peppermint is an ingredient commonly used to treat symptoms of IBS specially stomach spasms. The difference might be that these pills are labeled specially for IBS, but other than that not much difference because other peppermint pills would be the same because they both have the key ingredient which is peppermint. I do believe that these are stronger because they gave me a lot of acid reflux so probably the regular peppermint pills might be more natural. Hope this helps.

It would not be the same. The Colpermin peppermint oil capsules have a strong outer membrane so they can get through the acid of the stomach and provide their benefit in the intestines. This is important for many reasons. Peppermint pills would dissolve before getting to the intestines. Peppermint pills, and especially peppermint oil, can be counterproductive to those who have digestive problems as without a coating to get them to the intestines, they can relax the small ring muscles in the digestive tract that help to keep food from going the wrong way (reflux).

I think they're about the same. What's important is how many milligrams are in which ever you pick.

The pack you have to eat 7 or 8 pills, with a more concentration and more complete group of vitamins and others.The mms you have only one big capsule (pill) with all you need.Personally I prefer and my nutritionist recommend the second. Is like a centrum but better.Regards,Marcelo

I'm pretty sure they are the same, however the company has put out a new smaller capsule that I believe the owner told me was for women. The ingredients are identical on the label though, aren't they. It works just fine for me.

I am presently using this product. Breath Right has different packaging for different products accordingly if medicated, drug free, size, etc.

Technically, yes. They'll work just the same--I've never chewed one up but I have bitten them for a smaller dose with no ill effects. They are uncoated, though, and it won't taste good. DISCLAIMER: Not a medical professional, just another shopper going by personal experience.

It's actually the same, just different packaging. If you go to Eucerin's FAQ, the response is that they're the same.

To the best of my knowledge the only difference is the number of tablets which I believe gives you a better price per pill when you buy the package with 90 tablets.

Best thing in my opinion is anything with peppermint oil in it. These have peppermint oil. Gas x does nothing to help me. If these get too pricey you can buy peppermint capsules in peppermint leaf form or peppermint oil form and they work wonderful also and are a lot cheaper. If naseau is a problem with you, ginger tea or capsules work very well with the peppermint.

Yes, they are the same. You can get them much cheaper at Amazon, without a prescription, but don't give the treats to your cat like candy. Also, not ALL cats like them. I have 3 cats and only 2 of them like them. If your vet hasn't already, he/she should give your cat 2-3 of the treats to see if your cat likes them, before you buy them. They work very well. Being a former Animal Health Tech, I highly recommend them.

I have used both and can notice no difference in effectiveness. I find the capsules easier to travel with.

This Is Purely PEPPERMINT Oil. Looking at the other product, it looks like Heathers Peppermint includes other ingredients as well as peppermint.

There's no difference. It's really just a marketing/rebranding idea designed to boost sales when the name was changed. Sadly, Nioxin no longer makes these supplements and the company doesn't give a clear, reasonable explanation WHY. They were actually the ONLY high potency HairSkinNail supplement that didn't break my face out so far. Currently, I'm using a brand that works just as well, but I'm still looking for that one brand that will do the job without the facial breakouts.

As far as I know, yes they do contain the same amount of product as the regular capsules. The smaller capsules are easier to "pill" your pet with. I had to break open the capsules and add the powder to my cat's food, whether regular size or small size, because my cat was not very happy having a capsule sent down her throat twice a day, but yes, the small capsules are supposed to contain the same amount of product as the regular capsules.

You should check the milligrams of the active ingredients so that they are the same strengths. If they are the same strengths, then it would only be the number of tablets or chews for the different types prices.

Yes, exactly the same. Longvida only sells to a few distibuters, and they are the only source for this stuff. Basically as long as you can find Longvida curcumin, get the cheapest you can find.

I do not know...will look into it...however the mints came highly recommended by medical professional and I must admit they taste great...I wish they would offer them at a special price sometime.
