Composition and release form

The dietary supplement contains only natural ingredients; the manufacturer does not use synthetic substances. The active ingredients of the drug are mint oil, anise and fennel extract.

The drug contains a child-safe amount of mint extract, which has a soothing and antibacterial effect. Peppermint extract allows the child to fall asleep after taking the medicine.
Anise oil prevents the occurrence of bloating in the baby, nausea, and enhances intestinal motility. Anise helps normalize stool. However, it can provoke an allergic reaction in a child. Anise oil has a beneficial effect on the respiratory system during feeding. The likelihood of colic is reduced many times if the baby does not swallow air during feeding. Also, anise extract has a positive effect on the functioning of the heart muscle and nervous system of the newborn.
Fennel extract is the main component of the supplement, which has carminative properties. Fennel helps normalize the digestive system, improves food digestion, and affects the formation of enzymes. It is widely used not only in folk, but also in traditional medicine.

Fennel oil has antibacterial and antispasmodic properties. It effectively eliminates intestinal colic and discomfort in the tummy. Unlike regular dill , the effect of fennel is most pronounced and longer lasting.

Fennel affects the secretion of the digestive organs, accelerates the breakdown and absorption of food.

In addition, fennel has a diuretic, antitussive and immunostimulating effect on the baby’s body. Infants readily drink water with the addition of fennel oil .

In addition to the indicated components, Baby Calm should not contain additional ingredients.
