El Naturalista Liquorice & Peppermint Sweets are sugar-free sweets made from liquorice extract and peppermint. The combination of these active ingredients helps to provide a pleasant taste, fresher breath and a soothing sensation in the throat. As well as being a quick source of energy, these treats can provide antacid properties that help to improve stomach upset or indigestion thanks to the benefits of liquorice. In addition, according to clinical trials, this ingredient is thought to provide analgesic action and promising anti-inflammatory and demulsant properties that may improve sore throats and soothe respiratory mucous membranes.
Such properties help to promote improvement of infectious respiratory tract conditions. Liquorice is also rich in vitamin C and flavonoids, nutrients that have expectorant, antitussive and immunomodulatory effects. Peppermint, on the other hand, as well as providing fresher breath and preventing halitosis, also has a favourable effect on digestive processes. Furthermore, by consuming these sweets, increased saliva production is stimulated, which is necessary to help prevent tooth decay and for the overall protection of the oral cavity. This product contains no added sugars and is gluten-free.
