HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Oregano Force by New Chapter

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Aug 27, 2026

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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

Oregano Force contains two active ingredients: organic oregano supercritical extract and oregano leaf aqueous extract. These are different extraction methods meant to capture the plant's active compounds.

The product also contains inactive ingredients — extra virgin olive oil, hypromellose (a capsule material), yellow beeswax, and candelilla wax — that help hold the capsule together and deliver the oregano.

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 evidence for oregano isn't established in our data. The product lists several uses — acne, bronchitis, asthma, headache, and upper respiratory tract infection — but we hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for any of them.

That doesn't mean it won't work for you; it means the research isn't robust enough yet for us to make a claim. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor about whether this matches what you're hoping it'll do.

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. When you take it as a concentrated supplement, though, we know less.

The most common side effect is stomach upset. Rarely, some people have had allergic reactions, including serious ones like anaphylaxis — especially if you're sensitive to plants in the mint family (Lamiaceae), like thyme.

The safety data advises against oregano supplements during pregnancy; food amounts are probably fine. While breastfeeding, stick to normal food amounts — we don't have enough data on supplement safety to be sure.

If you're allergic to oregano, thyme, or other mint-family plants, avoid this product.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Oregano

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.

Check your blood thinners (anticoagulants like warfarin, and antiplatelet drugs like aspirin or clopidogrel) and your diabetes medications with your pharmacist or doctor before taking this product. Oregano may increase your bleeding risk and your risk of low blood sugar.

These are Moderate-severity interactions, so don't skip this step.

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.

Oregano Force is generally well tolerated at food levels, but as a supplement it's stronger and less studied. If you take blood thinners or diabetes medications, you need to check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it — the interaction risk is real.

Pregnant or breastfeeding? Talk it over with your provider first.

For anyone else curious about oregano's effects on acne or respiratory issues, the evidence just isn't there yet to say whether it'll help.

Oregano Force by New Chapter: Common Questions

Does Oregano Force by New Chapter interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Oregano Force has a known interaction with 208 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Oregano Force contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I'm on warfarin or another blood thinner?
Not without checking first. Oregano may increase your bleeding risk when combined with blood thinners. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your warfarin or other anticoagulant before adding this product — they can tell you whether it's safe for you personally.
Will this help my acne or bronchitis?
We don't have reliable evidence that oregano works for acne, bronchitis, asthma, headache, or upper respiratory infections. That doesn't mean it won't help you, just that the research isn't solid enough for us to say it will.
Is it safe to take if I'm taking diabetes medication?
Possibly not without checking. Oregano may lower blood sugar, so combined with your diabetes drug it could push your levels too low. Check with your pharmacist or doctor before you start — they know your specific medications and can advise you.
What are the side effects?
Most people tolerate oregano well. Stomach upset is the most common complaint. Rarely, people — especially those allergic to mint-family plants — have had allergic reactions, including serious ones. If you're sensitive to oregano, thyme, or other Lamiaceae plants, skip this product.
Is it safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against oregano supplements during pregnancy; stick to food amounts. While breastfeeding, we don't have enough data to know whether supplements are safe, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
