Oregano isn't just a spice or food preservative: it's been used as a medicinal herb for millennia. It's now known to have a high antioxidant content, since it contains phenolic compounds such as carvacrol and thymol, which can support immune function, and it can also kill bacteria.

Product Notes:
This liquid form of Oil of Oregano uses the most active species available (Origanum vulgare, standardized to 60% Carvacrol), but because oregano oil in its pure form can be so strong that it may irritate skin and mucous membranes, it's diluted here in a base of high-quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and can be safely taken as-is (when added to water or a drink).
