In-depth reviews
Have you met my bestie IBEROGAST! – When my Gastroenterologist told me that Iberogast was available in Australia he was ecstatic as for me I was skeptical. I took Iberogast every day 3 times a day for a week and thought okay I can’t feel the benefit just yet but let’s keep it going and by the following week I was in heaven. I took Iberogast for the first month and my system… Read more
eased dramatically and by the second month I took it twice a day morning and night for a few more months and gradually eased to once a night. I did cut down the dosage during the months but don’t exceed the recommended amount as I made that mistake and ended up with stomach cramps, eventually I found the right amount of drops to suit my body which works for me.
Iberogast has made a huge difference to my life socially my IBS has virtually disappeared my bowel movements are regular and my reflux is minimal i cut my Somac down from 60mg to 20mg & stomach cramps gone. (Stress is the main contributor for my IBS)
So If you suffer from IBS take this amazing elixir but don’t think it will cure you over night persevere follow the directions and your body will thank you for it.
I write this review in warning that this product is extremely dangerous – WARNING! This product is massively phytoestrogenic and blood thinning. I tried iberogast a week ago because I am attempting to treat a lifelong very serious infection of sibo, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. I was born immune-compromised and acquired sibo in the first hours of my life and have been sick with it all my life. For the… Read more
past 12 months I have done multiple courses of rifaximine, as well as herbal approaches and have not succeeded in making a dent in it.
Recently, I discovered that motility of the gut may be retarded in sibo and that iberogast is a motility agent.
I am very interested in natural cures and familiar with the efficacy of herbs which I take on a daily basis for a variety of reasons. Being experienced I'm also aware that they have multivalent properties and can be counter indicated and cause side effects exactly like Pharmaceuticals.
I took iberogast for a single day and felt weak and noticed that my hair fell out. Being curious I discontinued use immediately and began investigating on the internet what I could find out about its blood thinning and phytoestrogenic properties.
It is very important that people who are on blood thinners or who are experiencing issues with thin blood such as hemophilia and related conditions or people who have sibo and cannot make vitamin K which helps coagulate the blood, know that iberogast is a very potent blood thinner. People who are in perimenopause or have been diagnosed with cancer of the breast or who have a history of cancer in their families should be aware that the properties in Iberogast are massively estrogenic, the strongest I have ever encountered in a multiherbal compound. Many many people in our society do not suspect estrogen dominance and it can cause the hair to fall out, gynecomastia, and breast and other cancers in both men and women. We are swimming in a sea of a very powerful chemical xenoestrogens, as it is in our toiletries, drinking water and food, so we don't necessarily need plant-based estrogens. i
In addition, people with sibo in particular, cannot manufacture progesterone and are at even greater risk than the average person. Progesterone balances estrogen.
Iberogast is a great formulation and can work well and safely for you but you must check to make sure by reading the information below that you are not in the group that should not be taking this compound. Please read this in its entirety and stay safe.
The people who should not be taking this are people who are estrogen dominant. Unfortunately, most people who are estrogen dominant do not realize it until they have come down with severe cancers in the breast, the testicles, the colon and other areas that are estrogen-sensitive. Those who may be estrogen dominant are women who are perimenopausal or in menopause. Men who are going through andropause may also be at risk due to estrogen dominance. This is why this product will cause people's hair to fall out.
In estrogen dominance, the site receptors at the hair follicle that are dependent upon hormones to make them grow will be flooded with hormones that tell them to shut off and so your hair will thin and fall out almost immediately.
There is another danger which I must highlight and that is people who have had severe sibo for years and even decades should not take this product. If you have had sibo for more than 2 or 3 years, the biofilms that the bacterial create in your small intestine get so thick that you are unable to make critical vitamins such as Vitamin K which will coagulate your blood. If you are already on blood thinners you should definitely not take iberogast and if you have had sibo badly for a long period of time this can cause a severe bleeding disorder within a day or two and you will get very weak and faint and that is another one of the marked symptoms
. So, this is a great product it is very strong it will work well but you must be extremely cautious when you use it because the ingredients are very strong estrogens and blood thinners.
Reflux be gone – I have had terrible reflux for a year. I wake up with it in the morning and its with me to various degrees all day. I am forever burping, chest pain and feel bloated, frightened to go to sleep unless at least 4 hours Post food. I have also had 3 episodes of severe acute central abdominal pain for which I have had to go to hospital and have… Read more
morphine. CT scans, gastroscope and all investigations show nothing abnormal. Acid lowering meds did nothing and certain food exclusions didn't help. I stumbled across Ibergast while reading about digestive bitters ( thought they might help). One full week of 3 daily doses and burning aching chest has gone and hardly burp at all. I mix with small amount of apple juice, the flavour is mild and quite nice. I still don't know what is causing my gastro problems but seem to have found something "natural" which settles it and the constant living in fear of what might set off another bout is subsiding. Natural herbs, not expensive and has worked for me.

The best thing I have found for gastritis! – I use to take Zantac, and that was taken off shelves so I went for De-Gas, both really helped the crippling pain in my stomach after eating or drinking certain things, mainly coffee and chili, and I can not live without either! After a few bad bouts I tried Iberogast, and I have never looked back. It is the best for those tummy grumbles, wind and gastritis pain. I have always a bottle on hand. Show details
I LOVE IT. MY GASTRO DOCTOR SAYS NO, NO – I was diagnosed with gastroparesis. Nothing seemed to work. I read about iberogast and I started using it. It was like a total change in my life. But unfortunately, my gastroenterologist advised strongly against it because of the chelidonium magus, which she claims can cause liver damage, and it is not approved by the FDA. Show reply
Really settles the tummy – Buy this product all the time, its great for IBS and reflux. It does not taste the best but the results are worth it. It is a must try if you feel bloated, get stomach aches, indigestion etc Show details
Negative reviews
Does nothing for heartburn – I purchased IBEROGAST for heartburn and it does absolutely nothing to relieve it and after reading reviews below i found out it contains chelidonium magus which is bad for your liver especially for me because i have liver cirrhosis, what a waste of money , i bought the double pack for $48 , nothing beats Gaviscon for heartburn at least for me so I’ll stick with it Show details
Mediocre – After using this product for 5+ years it does not seem to be as effective, just before Xmas 2022 I ordered some from Bayer_Store and when the bottles arrived with the new design I asked why as I wanted the original bottles as reading the ingredients they were not the same and was missing the IBS description, I was informed by Bayer that the… Read more
ingredients were the same and it was just the packaging that had been updated and the ingredients more explicit. I started taking it but it does not appear to be as effective and the bottles have a short shelf life. I am beyond disappointed as Bayer are NOT answering my questions regarding the ingredients. I have 4 bottles and they are offering a credit for 1 and told me to speak to the retailer regarding the other 3, but it's Bayer who supplied them, honestly what a bad way to treat a loyal customer. Maybe this is why they will not respond to questions. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-bayer-iberogast-idUSKCN1LS1LA
Acid reflux – My naturopath recommended I try this for my IBS and it just gave me really bad acid reflux (mixed in with 500ml of water) I didn’t notice any changes with my IBS either. Show details

The formula has changed, it seems much weaker. Will wait and see, but am yet to be convinced. Plus, it has a short shelf life! You have to be kidding me. I might only use it a couple of times in that time frame, and it’s not cheap. Not sure I would buy again. Show details
Anytime I have an upset stomach I use this. It always works. I even use it woth my Chihuahua a few drops diluted and it fixes her upset tummy too. It's an incredible product. Show details
Feeling Better Already – I've been battling with gut issues and SIBO. I didn't want to go with more antibiotics, etc, so I decided to give it a go. 1st day today with 2 doses and tummy already settling. Almost too scared to believe it. Show details

Best product for upset stomach, stomach issues! – This is a life changer. Take it before you eat, 20 drops I do under the tongue and swallow with water quickly. It soothes cramps, bloating, eases pain nearly immediately, helps with gas and settles an upset stomach. I first used after coming back from Bali once my stomach just wouldn't go back to normal. It was the only thing that fixed it You… Read more
can use iberogast for dogs too! I've used it on my chihuahua who came to us as a rescue with a terrible stomach and a few weeks of this she's been great (a few drops diluted in a syringe and down the throat). I would recommend this to everyone.
This really does work – It’s expensive, which put me off for a while. But I bought the small bottle to try it. It really does work for temporary relief for me. It has a herbal/aniseed flavour. Show details
Problem solved – After reading reviews I thought I'll give it a go and I was sceptical. My problem has been with me for many years, bloating cramps nausea and constipation. Tried elimination diet, useless. This product worked immediately and I feel great. No more gas and regular as clockwork. Give it a go. Show details
Works for nausea – Have been taking this product for over a decade when needed. I put 20 drops in a small glass of water and sip when I get the odd bout of nausea or indigestion. Was recommended by a naturopath for my daughter who suffered IBS. She rarely has bouts now but I always have it on hand. Show details
Iberogast helped me – Having suffered from bowel problems as result of surgery in my 20's I recently experienced an increase in bowel pain plus feelings of bloating and bowel cramps due to being on blood thinning medications. Now in my 60's the bowel cramps and subsequent awful bouts of diarrohea were something I really could not live with. The constant pain and… Read more
discomfort was truly awful. I found Iberogast at my local supermarket. I had heard of the product before and decided to try it. I purchased Iberogast two days ago and have taken 20 drops twice a day and the result has been amazing. It's early days yet however since having started taking Iberogast the awful bowel pain and diarrohea has gone away, I am not sure if my condition relates to removal of bowel in my 20's, a reaction to current medication or my current medical condition but what I can say is that the pain has gone away and since taking Iberogast I feel so much better.
A true life saver! – My chemist recommended this to me instead of gastro stop, and I can take it before or after meals and it honestly soothes cramps, an upset tummy and diarrhoea. I’m so glad that I’ve found this product, it helps me go comfortably through life! Show details
Great when travelling – I suffer from horrific bloating and constipation when I travel (especially long haul flights) and was recommended Iberogast. I drank if before each meal during the flight and my first few days overseas and didn’t experience the usual constipation I normally would. The stuff really worked! Show details
A saviour – Ive had colitis for a year after immunotherapy. Tried everything from healthy juices and food as well as Tumeric and ginger. I lost 11 kilos and couldn't put it back on even though I was always eating. Its taking months because of the damage done but finally finding obvious improvements ever day and am finally putting on weight.

It works for me! – I was suffering from reflux and bloating. I was taking ant acid tablets and still getting bad reflux during the night. Have now been taking Iberogast for about 4 weeks and I no longer suffer from the above symptoms. An excellent product and it’s a natural product. Show details
This product does what it is intended to do – This product does what it is intended to do.If you follow instructions it will work. At least start off with a dose before every meal for 2 weeks or at least a week.... now I only take before dinner and it works 99% of times, perhaps if I followed my own instructions and took it every meal it would be 100% effective. Take no notice of clowns… Read more
who downgrade the product by completely ignoring instructions completely and taking excessive does AFTER a meal
Made me ill – I’ve tried this product quite a few times now over the last two years as I wanted to be able to tolerate it for SIBO. After a week or so of taking it each time I suffer extreme fatigue, sleeping all day, headache and feeling like I’ve poisoned myself. Something in this product is reacting badly. I’m finally giving up on it. Show details
Amazing product – For the past week I have been suffering with stomach pains after eating and cramping, been in bed taking Panadol , I was recommended Iberogast and honestly what can I say within 15 min my suffering was easing I couldn’t believe that this product was working so fast for me , I’m out and about and feeling healthy. I can’t express the gratitude I have to this product and how my life is going to look in the future. Show details
didnt do anything to me – I thought it would help with my bloating but didn't help at all, I had it for a whole month and didn't see or feel any change.i personally think its over rated and overly expensive Show details
Life changing – For years, I often experienced feelings of fullness, heartburn, constipation etc. I tried Nexium, but after a while I felt bad after taking that. Just recently I tried Iberogast and it literally stopped the symptoms within 10 minutes. I'm a week into using it, and I can honestly say it's been lifechanging Show details
Worked for reflux but caused heart arrhythmia – This product really helped me with my indigestion and reflux. However I’ve had to discontinue as it gave me heart flutters and short arrhythmias. I’m prone to heart arrhythmias but this medication exasperated it. I think it’s from the liquorice or even the alcohol content. Such a shame. Show details
Been a miracle worker for me – I've had long term digestive issues including months of constipation before trying this. Within about 4 days I felt almost normal. A few months in, still working! I'm actually amazed. Show details
Kicking myself for not finding this sooner – I've had chronic cramps, bloating and pain from eating the most random foods for about 3 years now. The pain can get intense, and the bloating makes it look like I am pregnant again. I tried this after some intense morning bloating, I took it with my lunch and the bloating has gone down already. I expect to see results after a couple of weeks like everyone says, but i'm excited already. Edit - spelling error in title Show details
Fantastic product – I've been suffering with constipation for years. I've tried all different products, but they cause dependancy and more issues. Started using the product 2 weeks ago, the first week had no relief, but after the first week things started moving slowly and now I'm regular as clockworks! Thanks for a brilliant, natural product! Show details
It works!! – I have used Iberogast for many years. It’s the best for IBS, constipation, heartburn, cramps and bloating. I order the large bottle via Amazon. Key is to use it twice a day. Most effective after using for a couple of days. Show details
A lifesaver that works – I've suffered from dyspepsia for couple of years now and really had chronic upper abdominal pain and vomiting, I've been taking iberogast now for 3 weeks and really since day 1 I've been pain free, it's so weird not being scared to eat anymore, really life changing.

Not sure about this product – I having taking this product for a quite while now and I am really not sure about it. Days when it works and days when it doesnt. Disappointed and mystified. Show details
