What Is Obbekjaers Peppermint (obbekjaerspeppermint.co.uk)?

Updated

Obbekjaers Peppermint is the UK-facing online shop of Bennett Natural Products, based in Wigan, Lancashire. It sells the Danish Obbekjaers range of peppermint oil products — oil, capsules, tablets and powder — to customers in the UK and worldwide, in single packs, 6 packs and 12 packs. The site also carries general information about peppermint oil uses, including IBS relief, indigestion and circulation. It is a retail and product-information site, not a medical service, and the health claims it repeats should be checked against your own circumstances.

Who runs the site and what it sells

The site identifies its operator as Bennett Natural Products of Wigan, Lancashire, describing itself as a worldwide supplier of Obbekjaers peppermint oil, supplements and related products. Obbekjaers itself is presented as a Danish manufacturer that has supplied peppermint oil supplements to the UK and worldwide for over 25 years.

The product range named on the site includes:

  • Obbekjaers peppermint oil
  • Peppermint oil capsules, including an Extra Strength version
  • Peppermint oil tablets
  • Peppermint oil in powder form

Packs are offered as single packs, 6 packs and 12 packs, with discounts stated to apply to the multi-packs. One listed example is Obbekjaers Single Pack Peppermint Oil Capsules (90) at £9.99, alongside a Single Pack Peppermint Oil Capsules Extra Strength (60). Prices and stock can change, so confirm the current figure on the product page before ordering.

What the site says peppermint oil is for

The site's information section links peppermint oil to three areas:

Area What the site states
IBS Researchers have found peppermint oil helps relieve pain and discomfort in people with irritable bowel syndrome; the site offers IBS advice tied to peppermint oil remedies
Indigestion The menthol in peppermint oil warms and soothes the stomach, aiding digestion
Circulation Peppermint oil is said to warm and soothe, relaxing veins and capillaries and so improving circulation

These are general statements reproduced on a retailer's site, not personalised medical advice. If you have IBS or another digestive condition, or you take regular medication, speak to a pharmacist or doctor before using peppermint oil supplements — particularly if symptoms are persistent or severe.

Buying from outside the UK: the Brexit duty note

The site carries an explicit warning: following Brexit, import duty may be charged on orders delivered outside the UK. It states it has no control over these charges and that they are the customer's responsibility. If you are ordering from the EU or elsewhere, budget for a possible customs charge on top of the product price and delivery.

Practical points before you order

  • Check the pack size against your needs. The 6- and 12-pack discounts only make sense if you will use the product steadily; single packs suit a first trial.
  • Confirm the format. Capsules, tablets, powder and oil are listed separately, and the Extra Strength capsules are a distinct product from the standard 90-capsule pack.
  • Verify the total cost for non-UK delivery, including any duty the site says may be applied at import.
  • Treat the health information as background. Use it to understand what the product is marketed for, then confirm suitability with a qualified professional rather than relying on the retailer's summary.
