Ferula Asafoetida is an extract of assa foetida resin (Ferula asafoetida) standardised to 2% volatile oils, compounds that are particularly active in the digestive system.
An Ayurvedic remedy traditionally used for treating digestive disorders (gastrointestinal problems, bloating, etc), asafoetida is attracting growing scientific interest following an increase in positive clinical studies.
Assa-foetida is a large perennial plant traditionally used in Asia for relieving a wide range of digestive problems such as flatulence, intestinal spasms, transient stomach aches, cramps and dyspepsia (persistent abdominal pain) in general ( (1).
In India, asafoetida is an important spice in Ayurvedic medicine, known as ‘Hing’ or ‘Hingu’.
A large number of scientific studies have been conducted to confirm empirical evidence gained from many populations over centuries. This research has revealed the existence of complex mechanisms of action on the digestive process (2-4).
As with all species of the Ferula genus, Ferula Asafoetida secretes a specific substance when the root is cut: a gum-resin (5).
It’s this unusual compound which contains the precious substances responsible for the supposed benefits of ferula: resins (coumarins, ferulic acids, terpenoids …), gums and volatile oils (essential oils), several of which are thought to have antispasmodic properties (6).
Our Ferula Asafoetida supplement contains a high-quality extract called Asafin® which uses a patented process to increase the bioavailability, efficacy and palatability of the assa foetida. The advantages of this extract are that:
Given the scientific research into Ferula asafoetida and traditional use of the plant, this extract is likely to be of interest to people with functional digestive disorders where no lesion has been found. These fall into two main types:
People who are overweight, anxious or stressed, who engage in endurance sports or who have a chronic disease, are more likely to suffer from these sorts of recurrent problems.
Attention: persistent problems of this kind should be investigated by a gastroenterologist in order to identify a possible medical cause. After the age of 50, any change in intestinal transit should be checked by a specialist and may require an endoscopy or colonoscopy.
We recommend taking 2 capsules a day, ie, 500mg of Asafin®. Clinical studies have used this same dose (2x250 mg a day).
Please note that this supplement is not recommended for people who are allergic or sensitive to plants from the umbelliferous family.
As well as taking this supplement for your digestive problems, we’d also recommend adopting these 7 measures:
To support your digestive system, it’s also worth considering the following supplements in addition to Ferula Asafoetida:
This product’s capsules are made of pullulan, a natural polysaccharide obtained by fermenting tapioca or corn. Pullulan contains no animal ingredients and provides an excellent barrier to oxygen, helping to preserve the integrity of the capsule’s ingredients. It is also an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic materials.

Bonjour, a chaque ingestion d'AsaFoetida, j'ai eu à la suite de fortes remontées gastriques, sortes de reflux du produit dont l'effet est très désagréable.
