What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

DC Oil of Oregano 1500 mg contains one active ingredient: oil of oregano in a softgel capsule. The capsule itself is made from gelatin and vegetable glycerin, which are inactive ingredients that hold and deliver the oregano oil.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Oregano product and its label doesn't state a use — see Oregano's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The effectiveness data we hold for oregano oil does not establish reliable evidence for acne, bronchitis, asthma, headache, or upper respiratory tract infection. This doesn't mean the supplement doesn't work — it means the research evidence available to us is currently insufficient to rate it.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Oregano

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Oregano from food is well tolerated by most people. As a concentrated supplement at this dose, oregano oil is less studied, so we know less about how it behaves in larger amounts.

The most common side effect is gastrointestinal upset. Rarely, allergic reactions — including serious ones like anaphylaxis and swelling of the lips, tongue, or face — have been reported, especially in people sensitive to plants in the mint family (Lamiaceae).

During pregnancy, medicinal or supplement amounts of oregano are not advised; normal food amounts are likely fine. While breastfeeding, the safety of oregano supplements is not established — stick to food amounts.

If you're pregnant or nursing and want to use this product, talk with your doctor or pharmacist first.

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Oregano.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 208 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before you start, double-check all blood thinners (anticoagulants and antiplatelets — such as warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel) and diabetes medications (insulin and oral diabetes drugs) with your pharmacist or doctor. Oregano oil may increase bleeding risk and lower blood sugar.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product may be worth considering if you're interested in oregano oil for general wellness, but the evidence for specific health claims is not yet established. If you take blood thinners or diabetes medications, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Anyone with a known allergy to plants in the mint family should use caution. Talk it over with your own healthcare provider before adding this to your routine.
