The panel states no extract ratio and no standardisation for any of them: no carvacrol figure for the oregano, no allicin figure for the garlic, no EGCG figure for the green tea, no oleuropein figure for the olive leaf. Those are the compounds people actually mean when they talk about these plants, and not one of them is quantified here. There is no arithmetic for us to show you, because there is nothing to do arithmetic on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWorth knowing before you buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the section that matters on this page. The laboratory work people have in mind when they see a bottle like this is done on oregano essential oil and its carvacrol content, in a dish, against a culture in that dish. That is a long way from 300 mg of leaf powder swallowed in a capsule, and nobody has made the step from one to the other in a human trial. There are no human studies showing that this combination of herb powders does anything to a fungal infection, and we will not imply that there are.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you think you have a fungal infection — a nail, a patch of skin, thrush, anything spreading or not clearing — that is a pharmacist or doctor conversation, and there are real antifungal treatments for it, several of them over the counter and cheap. The risk with a bottle like this one is not the herbs. It is the weeks spent taking it instead of treating the thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat it is: 875 mg of six culinary herbs in a capsule, plainly weighed and plainly listed. What it is not: an antifungal, a treatment, or a product with any clinical claim attached to it. We sell it as a herb blend, because a herb blend is what the panel describes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to take it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo capsules a day with water. Sixty capsules in the bottle at two a day, which is 30 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOther ingredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe panel we have does not carry an other-ingredients line, so we cannot tell you what the capsule shell is made of. Gelatin shells are animal-derived and are \u003cstrong\u003enot suitable for vegetarians or vegans\u003c\/strong\u003e; cellulose and HPMC shells are. We are not going to guess which this is — if it matters to you, read the physical bottle before you take it. No allergen is declared on the panel, which is not the same as there being none.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCautions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGarlic can add to the effect of anticoagulant and antiplatelet medicines such as warfarin, clopidogrel and aspirin, which is worth raising with your doctor before any surgery, and it lowers blood levels of some medicines, including the HIV medicine saquinavir. Green tea leaf contains both caffeine and vitamin K, and the panel quantifies neither — if you take warfarin, an unpredictable vitamin K intake is the part that matters. Oregano, basil and lemongrass are foods at these amounts, but if you have a known allergy to any of these plants, or to others in the mint family, this is not for you. Concentrated oregano preparations are not recommended in pregnancy; this is a leaf powder rather than an oil, but the standard advice below applies. Keep out of the reach of children. Do not use if the safety seal is damaged or missing. Store in a cool, dry place. Do not exceed the recommended dose. If you are pregnant, nursing, under 18, taking prescription medication or living with a medical condition, speak to your doctor or pharmacist before starting this or any supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eThese statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
