Oreganol Oil of Wild Oregano
North American Herb & Spice
Overview
Oreganol Oil of Wild Oregano is a dietary supplement that primarily relies on the proposed benefits of oregano oil. While oregano oil has demonstrated antimicrobial and antioxidant properties in some studies, the product's effectiveness is difficult to ascertain due to the use of a proprietary blend, which obscures the exact concentration of active ingredients. Additionally, the specific strain and extraction method of oregano oil ('Mediterranean Oregano Oil P73; Wild') are critical factors influencing its efficacy, yet these are not fully quantified or standardized in the product information.
