What This Product Does

This formula provides antioxidants. This is the Health Canada approved use (NPN 80081653). This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

What Is Oregano Oil?

Oregano oil is an essential oil extracted from the leaves and flowers of Origanum vulgare, a perennial herb native to the Mediterranean region and western Asia. It belongs to the Lamiaceae family, commonly known as the mint family. Other members of the Lamiaceae family include basil, lavender, mint, rosemary, sage, and thyme. The essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the plant material.

Oregano has been used in traditional Mediterranean herbal medicine for centuries. The plant is also widely used as a culinary herb. The essential oil is significantly more concentrated than the dried herb used in cooking.

What Is Carvacrol?

Carvacrol (5-isopropyl-2-methylphenol) is a monoterpenoid phenol and the primary active compound in oregano oil. It is responsible for oregano's characteristic pungent, warm aroma. Carvacrol content in oregano oil varies widely in nature depending on the plant variety, growing region, and harvest time. Wild oregano from the Mediterranean can range from 60 to 85% carvacrol.

This formula is standardized to 80% Carvacrol. Standardization means every batch is tested and verified to contain at least 80% carvacrol, ensuring consistent potency from bottle to bottle. Each drop (0.033ml) contains 8.33mg of oregano oil, of which 6.66mg is carvacrol (80%).

Why Is MCT Oil Used as the Carrier?

Concentrated oregano oil standardized to 80% carvacrol is extremely potent and would be too irritating to the mouth, throat, and stomach to take undiluted. MCT oil (medium chain triglyceride oil derived from coconut) is used as a carrier to dilute the oregano oil to a safe and tolerable concentration for oral use. MCT oil is a stable, neutral-tasting oil that does not oxidize quickly, making it well suited as a carrier for essential oils. The combination of oregano oil and MCT oil in this formula produces 8.33mg of oregano oil per drop at 0.033ml per drop.

Why Take With Food, Honey, Olive Oil, or a Sugar Cube?

Carvacrol and other phenolic compounds in oregano oil can irritate the mucous membranes of the mouth, throat, and stomach. Taking the drops with food, or with a teaspoon of honey, a vegetable oil such as olive oil, or a sugar cube helps coat the mucous membranes and reduce this irritation. This is a standard recommendation for high-carvacrol oregano oil products and is part of the Health Canada approved dosing instructions for this formula.

Why Take a Few Hours Before Mineral Supplements?

The dosing instructions specify to take this formula a few hours before supplements containing iron, zinc, calcium, or copper. Phenolic compounds including carvacrol can chelate (bind) divalent metal ions, which may reduce the absorption of these minerals if taken at the same time. Separating oregano oil from mineral supplements by a few hours minimizes this interaction.

Understanding the Dose and Supply

The recommended dose is 4 to 6 drops, 1 time per day with food. Each drop is 0.033ml. The 30ml bottle contains approximately 909 drops total.

• At 4 drops per day: approximately 227 day supply (over 7 months)
