Osterly Market Oil of Oregano

Carvacrol percentage stated.

Oregano oil softgels with the carvacrol content on the label, because carvacrol is the entire reason anyone takes oregano oil.

What it's for

Oregano oil is taken for its carvacrol content, which has demonstrated antimicrobial activity in laboratory conditions. Whether that translates into anything meaningful once swallowed and diluted through your body is much less clear — the lab data is strong and the human data is thin. It is traditionally used in short courses through cold season.

How to take it

• One softgel daily with food
• Short courses rather than continuous use
• The raw oil can burn mouth and throat tissue — this is why it comes as a softgel
• Oregano oil is antimicrobial without discriminating, so it may affect gut bacteria too. Not for use in pregnancy

On the label

• Carvacrol content stated
• Softgels
• 120 softgels

What this is not

• Not an antibiotic
• Not for continuous long-term use
• Not the raw oil, which can burn

The straight answer

'Oil of oregano' without a carvacrol figure is a bottle of oil with an unknown amount of the active in it. The figure is the product.
