Not regulated: Spearmint capsules are a "food supplement" and are not regulated for safety or effectiveness. You need to watch for all the contents in the capsule. It would be prudent to talk to your doctor or pharmacist to rule out interactions with any other medication that you may be taking. Wish you good health!
