I purchased the Best Naturals Peppermint Oil Bowel Soothing Dietary Supplement, 250 mg, because my husband has stomach and intestinal problems.It is packaged in a plastic bottle, with a shrink wrap around the lid, an inner safety seal and cotton on the top of the pills to keep them in place. I didn't see a desiccant packet in it.They are made in the USA, a great factor and 3rd party tested.There is a limited amount of ingredients in them - capsule (gelatin), silicon dioxide, magnesium Stearate (vegetable source).It says on the bottle: No artificial color, flavor, sweetener, preservatives, sugar, starch, corn, soy, egg, lactose, gluten, wheat, yeast, or fish. And sodium free. All goods things in my mind and my husband can't eat wheat, gluten, or yeast so that makes it better.When you smell in the top of the bottle there is a mint smell.The capsule is a normal size and can be swallowed pretty easily.We both have used them I didn't have any "burping of mint", but my husband did. I didn't notice any aftertaste in my mouth after taking.It seems to be of a good quality. If you are expecting it to be a capsule with actual oil, it is not. It is a powder in the capsule. The powder is kind of a dull green color.When I took it I had a stomach ache and within 20 minutes it had mostly gone away.I am happy with the purchase and will buy again.Update: It has been a few months since I wrote the review and I can't believe how good this works for us! We both have used it for intestinal issues and stomach aches and it seems like in 15 to 20 minutes it helps!
