What is oregano?
Oregano (Origanum vulgare) is a Mediterranean plant rich in essential oils. Carvacrol, a natural constituent of the oil, is a particularly important component of our supplements. Oil of oregano is often used for its robust character and intensely herbal aroma.
What oregano contains
Our oregano supplements contain pure oil of oregano, available as a liquid extract or in capsule form. This oil is extracted from the leaves of the oregano plant (Origanum vulgare) and is rich in natural compounds. One of the main substances in oil of oregano is carvacrol, an aromatic compound that occurs naturally in the essential oil. The oil also contains thymol, p-cymene and terpinene, all volatile plant compounds that contribute to oregano's strong aroma and flavour.
