You are looking for oregano oil and want to know what is really in it. These Osavi capsules provide 180 mg of carvacrol per capsule, extracted from wild oregano (Origanum vulgare). The oil is steam distilled and standardized to at least 70% carvacrol. This keeps the carvacrol content per capsule consistent and verifiable, rather than varying from harvest to harvest. This way, you know exactly what you are getting.
Carvacrol is the main component of oregano oil. It is a phenol, a natural plant substance that often makes up 60 to 85% of good oregano oil. It also contains small amounts of thymol, p-cymene and gamma-terpinene, all naturally present in the same oil. What many people do not know is that oregano oil, oregano extract and dried oregano are not the same. Oil is the concentrated, volatile fraction and therefore contains far more carvacrol. Extract and dried herbs contain far less. Good to know: oregano oil (Origanum vulgare) is traditionally used to support digestion*.
Standardization at 70% carvacrol means that at least seventy percent of every dose of oil consists of pure carvacrol. This capsule contains 257 mg of oregano leaf oil, standardized to at least 70% carvacrol, which amounts to at least 180 mg of carvacrol. The difference lies in this fixed percentage: this allows you to fairly compare dosage and price. Each capsule of this oregano oil provides 180 mg of carvacrol. Non-standardized products often do not state a fixed percentage, while the content can actually vary from batch to batch. Standardization therefore gives you consistency: every capsule from the bottle is the same.
The capsule is acid-resistant, also known as enteric. A regular capsule or softgel can open in the stomach. An enteric coating is designed so that the capsule passes through the acidic stomach intact and only opens in the intestine, where the acidity is higher. The coating also largely removes the typical taste and smell. Oregano oil may contribute to the health of the stomach and intestines*. And oregano (Origanum vulgare) supports respiratory health*.

This is a single-ingredient product, so it contains no unnecessary additives, only oregano leaf oil, suspended in extra virgin olive oil. You only take one capsule per day and a bottle contains 120, enough for about four months. You can recognize quality by a few things: a fixed carvacrol percentage, clear standardization, steam distillation and an acid-resistant capsule. On these points, this choice is clear and transparent.
In short: you get a standardized oil from Origanum vulgare with 180 mg of carvacrol per capsule, packaged in an acid-resistant capsule. We state the facts about what is in it and what it is standardized to, without empty promises, so that you can make an informed choice yourself. If you have questions about use or safety, read the accompanying information or ask your doctor.
Each capsule contains 180 mg of carvacrol, derived from 257 mg of oregano leaf oil.
The oil is standardized to a minimum of 70% carvacrol. This ensures that the content per capsule is consistent and verifiable, not varying per harvest as is the case with non-standardized oil.
The acid-resistant capsule passes through the stomach intact and only opens in the intestine. The coating also largely eliminates the typical taste and smell.
You only take one capsule a day and a jar contains 120. This means one jar lasts about four months; it's a mono-ingredient without unnecessary additives.

Carvacrol is the main component of oregano oil, a natural plant phenol. In good quality oregano oil, it usually makes up 60 to 85% of the oil. It is a volatile, concentrated substance; therefore, the carvacrol content per capsule is stated precisely. This product contains 180 mg of carvacrol per capsule.
An enteric (gastric-resistant) capsule passes through the acidic stomach intact and only opens in the intestine, where the acidity is higher. A regular capsule can open in the stomach. The enteric coating also largely eliminates the typical taste and smell.
Quality oregano oil typically contains 60 to 85% carvacrol. More importantly, a product should be standardized to a fixed percentage, so that the content does not fluctuate per harvest. This oil is standardized to at least 70% carvacrol, which amounts to 180 mg of carvacrol per capsule.
If you calculate it in terms of carvacrol per day, it's not that bad. A bottle contains 120 capsules and you take one a day, so a bottle lasts for about four months. You get 180 mg of carvacrol per capsule. Compared to the dosage and standardization, the price per day is favorable.
This oil is extracted by steam distillation from wild oregano (Origanum vulgare). During steam distillation, water vapor releases the volatile oil from the plant. The oil is then standardized to a minimum of 70% carvacrol and is incorporated into extra virgin olive oil in an enteric-coated capsule. It is a single ingredient without unnecessary additives.
Oregano oil is the concentrated, volatile fraction of the plant and contains by far the most carvacrol. Oregano extract and dried oregano contain much less carvacrol and are not comparable in potency. If you want a fixed carvacrol content, standardized oil is clearly the best choice.
