Benegut perilla (proprietary) (perilla frutescens)
Synopsis of benegut perilla (proprietary)
Benegut® Perilla is a proprietary extract derived from Perilla frutescens, a leafy plant in the mint family (Lamiaceae), traditionally used in East Asian medicine and cuisine. This specialized extract is standardized for flavonoids and rosmarinic acid, which are key bioactive compounds responsible for its effects on the gut-brain axis, digestive comfort, and inflammation regulation. Benegut is marketed for use in functional foods and dietary supplements, particularly for managing stress-related digestive disturbances.
The proprietary formula is designed to:
- Reduce symptoms of functional gastrointestinal disorders, such as bloating, gas, discomfort, and altered bowel habits
- Modulate the gut-brain axis, helping to relieve digestive symptoms related to stress and anxiety
- Provide anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic effects in the digestive tract
- Support intestinal barrier integrity and immune modulation
Clinical studies on Benegut have shown promise in improving IBS-like symptoms and promoting a calmer, more balanced digestive experience, especially in people with functional dyspepsia or stress-induced GI issues. Its mechanism of action involves balancing intestinal microbiota, reducing visceral hypersensitivity, and calming low-grade inflammation in the gut lining.
Historical Use of Perilla (Non-Proprietary):
Perilla (Perilla frutescens) has been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Korean, and Japanese herbal systems, where it is known as Zi Su Ye. It is traditionally used to:
- Dispel wind-cold and release the exterior (e.g., in colds and flu)
- Calm the fetus during pregnancy-related nausea
- Alleviate seafood poisoning
- Support digestion and reduce abdominal bloating
Perilla contains omega-3 fatty acids (alpha-linolenic acid), rosmarinic acid, luteolin, and apigenin, giving it anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, and anxiolytic properties.
Today, Benegut represents a scientifically optimized form of traditional perilla, standardized for predictable efficacy and safety, especially in the context of modern functional gut disorders. It is increasingly used in digestive health supplements aimed at stress-related bloating, dyspepsia, and gut discomfort, bridging herbal tradition and clinical science.
