Overview

NOW Oregano Oil provides oregano oil in enteric-coated softgels that survive stomach acid and release in the intestines. Oregano oil contains carvacrol and thymol, compounds with potent antimicrobial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. The enteric coating is important because oregano oil can cause stomach irritation if released in the stomach. Used in integrative medicine for candida, SIBO, and general immune support.

The natural antimicrobial powerhouse. Oregano oil's carvacrol is one of nature's strongest antimicrobials. Enteric coating is essential — this is a targeted tool, not a daily supplement.
