Greek Oregano Infused Oil

Our "Oregano Infused Oil" is crafted by infusing Origanum vulgare (Greek Oregano) into organic Italian extra-virgin olive oil, creating a naturally potent botanical preparation that combines oregano's traditional herbal properties with the nutritional qualities of premium olive oil. Oregano naturally contains an array of plant compounds, including carvacrol, thymol, p-cymene, gamma-terpinene, phenolic acids, and flavonoids. Scientific research has identified many of these compounds for their antioxidant and biological activity. Extra-virgin olive oil complements the infusion with oleic acid, vitamin E, and naturally occurring olive polyphenols. Ingredients Origanum vulgare (Greek Oregano) Olea europaea (Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil) Suggested Benefits Supports Antioxidant Defense – Oregano contains naturally occurring phenolic compounds that demonstrate antioxidant and free-radical-scavenging activity. These compounds may help support the body's normal defenses against oxidative stress. Supports a Healthy Inflammatory Response – Carvacrol, one of oregano's best-studied natural constituents, has demonstrated antioxidant and inflammation-modulating activity in experimental and limited human research. Extra-virgin olive oil also supplies polyphenols associated with healthy inflammatory signaling. Supports Digestive Wellness – Oregano has a long history of traditional use for digestive and gastrointestinal wellness. Its aromatic plant compounds make it a useful botanical for supporting normal digestive function and overall digestive comfort. Provides Naturally Occurring Carvacrol & Related Oregano Compounds – Research on oregano-enriched olive oils demonstrates that compounds such as carvacrol, p-cymene, gamma-terpinene, and other oregano-derived constituents can migrate into the olive-oil base during processing, although the final concentration varies according to the oregano variety and infusion method. Supports Normal Immune Function – Oregano's phenolic and aromatic compounds provide antioxidant activity that may complement the body's normal immune defenses and general wellness. Supports Cellular Protection – The combination of oregano-derived phytochemicals and extra-virgin olive-oil polyphenols provides antioxidant compounds that help protect cells from normal oxidative stress. Provides Beneficial Plant Polyphenols – Studies of olive oil infused with aromatic herbs, including Origanum vulgare, have found increases in total phenolic content following maceration, demonstrating that olive oil can serve as a carrier for oregano-derived bioactive compounds. Naturally Occurring Antimicrobial Phytochemicals – Carvacrol and thymol have demonstrated notable antimicrobial activity in laboratory research. These findings help explain oregano's long traditional use, although laboratory antimicrobial activity should not be interpreted to mean that this product treats or prevents infections. Extra-Virgin Olive Oil Botanical Base – Organic extra-virgin olive oil supplies predominantly monounsaturated fat, particularly oleic acid, along with naturally occurring polyphenols and vitamin E. EVOO has been extensively studied as part of healthy dietary patterns for its antioxidant and cardiovascular-supporting properties. Other Suggested Benefits Antioxidant and free-radical-scavenging activity, supports a healthy inflammatory response, supporting normal digestive function and overall digestive comfort, complements the body's normal immune defenses for general wellness, supports cellular protection, plant-based antimicrobial compounds with natural antibiotic properties, promotes natural eliminative functions for parasites, essentially oregano naturally contains antifungal, antiviral, antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-allergenic, anti-parasitic, anti-inflammatory properties Suggested Use Key Naturally Occurring Plant Constituents Oregano (Origanum vulgare): Carvacrol Thymol p-Cymene Gamma-terpinene Phenolic acids Flavonoids Other naturally occurring aromatic terpenes Organic Italian Extra-Virgin Olive Oil: Oleic acid Vitamin E Hydroxytyrosol and related olive phenolics Naturally occurring antioxidant compounds Important Scientific Note This product is an herbal oregano infusion in extra-virgin olive oil and should not be represented as equivalent to concentrated oregano essential oil. The amount of carvacrol, thymol, and other oregano constituents transferred into an infused oil varies according to the oregano chemotype, herb-to-oil ratio, temperature, infusion time, processing method, and storage conditions.
