Overview
Oregano extract is rich in phenolic compounds, particularly carvacrol and thymol, which have demonstrated significant antimicrobial and antioxidant activities in in vitro studies. While there is evidence supporting its potential for anti-inflammatory and gastrointestinal benefits, its efficacy for humans needs further investigation. The current research is promising but more robust human trials are needed to establish the effectiveness and define the optimal dosage.
