Oregano Oil naturally contains carvacrol, and is one of the primary bioactive compounds in oregano.¹ In addition to being responsible for the warm mouthfeel after oregano consumption, carvacrol exerts strong antioxidant effects.1 Carvacrol potently scavenges free radicals, reduces free radical-induced DNA damage, and decreases lipid oxidation.¹ In an in vitro study comparing the antioxidant capacity of 26 spice extracts – including mint, cinnamon, sage, rosemary and thyme – oregano had both the third highest antioxidant capacity and total phenolic content.² Specifically, oregano’s total antioxidant capacity ranged from nearly 1.5 to 183 times higher than 23 other spices.²
