Abdominal pain and bloating with IBS
Potential benefit studied: Changes in IBS symptom severity and quality of life
Supporting researchA randomized placebo-controlled trial found that curcumin with fennel essential oil reduced IBS symptoms and abdominal pain while improving quality of life.
In a randomized, placebo-controlled trial, 121 people with mild-to-moderate IBS received a curcumin–fennel essential oil combination or placebo for 30 days. Researchers measured overall symptom severity, abdominal pain and quality of life.
The tested combination differs from Longevity and included fennel essential oil. This study cannot establish that Longevity or curcumin alone relieves IBS, and suitability for someone with recurring bowel symptoms remains unknown.
