 it really does work. It's not just a mint either, it's a breath freshener. Tiny little capsule that you suck on the minty coating, two or three you put in your mouth and you suck off the minty coating, and then you swallow the capsule, parsley seed oil. And what it does is get to work in your gut because so much bad breath happens in the gut. Matter of fact, it even helps with stomach problems. I know people would take it just to settle your stomach. I mean, that parsley seed oil is magic stuff.
