Doctor MK's IBS Relief
Pros
Cons
Today we review Doctor MK’s IBS Relief. This homeopathic, all natural supplement claims to help you relieve all symptoms of IBS, like gas, bloating, diarrhea, and constipation. With only one main ingredient, this supplement is simple, yet powerful.
What’s in Doctor MK’s IBS Relief?
This supplement contains 362 mg of peppermint oil per serving. While some studies have shown this oil to be more effective than a placebo at treating IBS, other studies have shown that only around 50% of patients taking peppermint oil actually saw improvements in their symptoms. Even in this higher dose, we are unsure that this supplement will truly be effective for what it claims.
How Do You Use Doctor MK’s IBS Relief?
The directions for this supplement is to take 1-2 capsules, up to three times per day. Each dose should be taken 30 minutes before a meal. This is a flexible dose that allows you to take more capsules when you have a flare up, but also to take less when you are just maintaining a healthy gastrointestinal tract.
The Cost
This manufacturer has chosen to sell their supplement through an Amazon store. One bottle of 90 softgels costs $25.07. They also offer an autoshipment program that will help you save money. By subscribing to this program, each bottle costs $23.82. By purchasing more than 5 different products from this manufacturer through the autoshipment program, you can unlock additional savings as well. Unfortunately, these programs can be very difficult to stop and you may get charged in additional months, even if you no longer want to receive the product.
Is There a Guarantee?
As the manufacturer sells through their Amazon store, they offer no guarantee on their products. They do, however follow Amazon’s return policy, which can be confusing if you have not dealt with it before.
Also, with many one and two star reviews on Amazon, many customers have shared that they were overall not satisfied with this supplement. Some even claimed, it gave them a burning and pain sensation in their stomach, which made their IBS worse.
The Conclusion of Our Doctor MK’s IBS Relief Review
There are a few things we liked about Doctor MK’s IBS Relief. First of all, this supplement is homeopathic and all natural. The dosing instructions are also flexible, allowing you to take the medication you need, depending on how you are feeling.
Unfortunately, there are many things that concern us about this product. First off, the only main ingredient is peppermint oil. While it has been shown more effective than a placebo, a 50% success rate is not high enough for us to feel that this supplement will actually be effective at stopping IBS symptoms. The price is also not great, and the only discount available is for barely more than $1 off of the normal price. Customer reviews also stated how ineffective this product was. Lastly, with only an Amazon store to sell their product, the manufacturer has no money back guarantee on these softgels. For all of these reasons, we cannot recommend this supplement for the treatment of your IBS.
