Organic Fennel
- Essential oil of the plant has been shown to contain more than 87 volatile compounds, including the polyphenol antioxidants rosmarinic acid, chlorogenic acid, quercetin, and apigenin
- Compound limonene helps combat free radicals and has been shown to protect rat cells from damage caused by certain chronic diseases

- Studies show that fennel extract inhibits the growth of potentially harmful
bacteria and yeasts, such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus
aureus, and Candida albicans - Gripe water—a common, over-the-counter treatment for colic—often contains fennel. Fennel has been proven to help ease colic in about 65% of cases.
