HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Stomach Soothing Complex by Shaklee
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
Stomach Soothing Complex contains five active ingredients. Four are plant powders — fennel, ginger, peppermint, and anise — each traditionally used to ease digestive discomfort.
The fifth is peppermint oil, a concentrated extract of peppermint that reinforces the digestive support from the peppermint powder. The product also contains inactive ingredients (microcrystalline cellulose, maltodextrin, fructose, cellulose, corn syrup solids, croscarmellose sodium, and hydroxypropyl cellulose) that serve as fillers, binders, and flow agents in the tablet.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
The evidence for effectiveness varies by ingredient and condition. Peppermint powder and oil are Likely Effective for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) — solid research supports this use.
Ginger, fennel, and peppermint are each Possibly Effective for dysmenorrhea (period pain). Ginger is also Possibly Effective for pregnancy-related nausea and osteoarthritis, and peppermint for dyspepsia (indigestion) and chemotherapy-related nausea.
For other claimed uses — fennel for anxiety or bronchitis, anise for migraine or menopausal symptoms — the evidence we hold is insufficient to rate effectiveness.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Fennel, ginger, peppermint powder, and anise are all generally well tolerated as foods and in typical supplement doses, though ginger at doses of 5 grams per day or higher increases side-effect risk. Common mild side effects from ginger include abdominal discomfort, heartburn, diarrhea, and a burning sensation in the mouth; from peppermint, abdominal pain, heartburn, nausea, and diarrhea; from fennel and anise, gastrointestinal upset.
Rare serious effects have been reported — seizures with fennel and anaphylaxis with anise — and allergic reactions can occur with any of these ingredients in sensitive individuals. Peppermint is rated Likely Safe in pregnancy and lactation.
Fennel and anise should be avoided in medicinal amounts during pregnancy due to limited safety data and hormone-like effects. Ginger is often used for morning sickness but should be kept at moderate amounts and approved by your doctor first.
Safety data for all three during breastfeeding is limited; food amounts are likely fine, but medicinal supplements need your provider's okay.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, check with your pharmacist if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel), diabetes medications, heart drugs including calcium channel blockers and ACE inhibitors, contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy, cancer or immunosuppressant medications, psychiatric drugs like fluoxetine or imipramine, or any drug your liver breaks down. The ingredient peppermint can slow the breakdown of many medications, and fennel and ginger both carry bleeding risk with anticoagulants.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product may help with IBS and indigestion in people who tolerate these herbal ingredients well. If you take any blood thinners, diabetes drugs, heart medications, contraceptives, hormone therapy, or psychiatric medications, check your exact drugs with the tool on this page before starting.
Talk to your pharmacist or doctor first if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of allergies to these plants.

Stomach Soothing Complex by Shaklee Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Stomach Soothing Complex by Shaklee contains five active ingredients, four of which have documented interactions with medications.
Fennel is the source of the most serious interactions — it can interfere with blood thinners (anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs) and theoretically increase bleeding risk, a Moderate severity concern.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Ginger adds its own set of Moderate interactions: it may increase bleeding risk with anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs, and the specific blood thinner warfarin (Coumadin); it can raise low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) risk with diabetes medications; and it may affect how your body handles certain heart and cancer drugs. Peppermint (both powder and oil) can slow the liver's breakdown of multiple drug types — antidepressants, heart medications, immunosuppressants like cyclosporine — leading to higher drug levels.
Anise also carries Moderate interactions, including with contraceptives and hormone therapy, diabetes drugs, and several psychiatric and pain medications.
Additionally, one ingredient — peppermint — is rated Likely Safe in pregnancy and lactation. The other four have no pregnancy or lactation safety data on file.
Altogetherther, these interactions span 1,020 individual medications. Use the interaction checker below with your exact medication list before starting this product.

For each ingredient in Stomach Soothing Complex with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Peppermint Oil
Cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune)
Theoretically, peppermint oil might increase the levels and adverse effects of cyclosporine.
In animal research, peppermint oil inhibits cyclosporine metabolism and increases cyclosporine levels. Inhibition of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) may be partially responsible for this interaction. An interaction between peppermint oil and cyclosporine has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2C19 (Cyp2C19) Substrates
Theoretically, peppermint might increase the levels of CYP2C19 substrates.
In vitro research shows that peppermint oil inhibits CYP2C19. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
Theoretically, peppermint might increase the levels of CYP2C9 substrates.
In vitro research shows that peppermint oil inhibits CYP2C9. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, peppermint might increase the levels of CYP3A4 substrates.
Clinical research in healthy volunteers shows that a single dose of peppermint oil 600 mg inhibits CYP3A4 enzymes and increases the AUC of felodipine, a CYP3A4 substrate. However, in vitro research suggests that peppermint oil only inhibits CYP3A4 at very high concentrations.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, peppermint might increase the levels of CYP1A2 substrates.
In vitro and animal research shows that peppermint oil and peppermint leaf inhibit CYP1A2. However, in clinical research, peppermint tea did not significantly affect the metabolism of caffeine, a CYP1A2 substrate. It is possible that the 6-day duration of treatment may have been too short to identify a difference.
