HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Oregano Leaf 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection

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

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.

This product contains one active ingredient: oregano leaf at 450 mg per capsule. The capsule itself is made from gelatin and water — these are inert ingredients that just hold the oregano together.

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's effectiveness hasn't been established. The data we have rates it as having insufficient reliable evidence for acne, bronchitis, asthma, headache, and upper respiratory tract infections.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means we don't yet have enough solid research to be confident about its effects for these uses.

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 is well tolerated in food amounts. When used as a supplement in larger, concentrated doses, safety data is limited.

The most common side effect is gastrointestinal upset. Rarely, people sensitive to oregano or related herbs (like thyme) can have serious allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis — one case involved swelling of the lips and tongue and difficulty breathing after eating oregano-seasoned pizza.

Avoid medicinal or supplement amounts during pregnancy; normal food amounts are likely fine. For breastfeeding, stick to food amounts — safety of oregano supplements while nursing isn't established.

Talk with your pharmacist or doctor if you're pregnant or breastfeeding and want to use this product.

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 with your pharmacist before using this product if you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (moderate interaction risk — oregano may increase bleeding), or diabetes medications (moderate risk — it may lower blood sugar further). These are the main medication types documented to interact with oregano.

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 supplements might be worth considering if you're looking for herbal support, but the evidence for specific uses isn't solid yet. If you take blood thinners, antiplatelet drugs, or diabetes medications, you need to check with your pharmacist first — oregano can affect how these work.

Anyone with a known allergy to oregano or thyme should avoid this product.

Oregano Leaf 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection: Common Questions

Does Oregano Leaf 450 mg by TerraVita Premium Collection interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Oregano Leaf 450 mg 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 Leaf 450 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism 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.
Is oregano safe to take while I'm pregnant?
Oregano in normal food amounts is likely fine during pregnancy, but medicinal or supplement doses should be avoided. If you're pregnant and interested in taking this supplement, talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Can I use this if I'm breastfeeding?
Stick to oregano in normal food amounts while breastfeeding. The safety of oregano supplements during nursing isn't established yet. Check with your pharmacist or doctor for guidance specific to your situation.
What side effects might I experience?
In food amounts, oregano is well tolerated. As a supplement in larger doses, gastrointestinal upset is the most common side effect. Serious allergic reactions are rare but can happen in sensitive people, especially those allergic to related herbs like thyme.
Does oregano actually work for colds or bronchitis?
The evidence we have doesn't let us say for sure either way. Oregano is rated as having insufficient reliable evidence for colds, bronchitis, asthma, and other respiratory issues, so we can't confidently claim it helps these conditions.
What's the difference between this supplement and oregano I cook with?
Food-grade oregano is mild and safe at table amounts. This 450 mg capsule is a concentrated supplement, much stronger than what you'd sprinkle on pizza. Concentrated oregano hasn't been as well studied as the culinary herb, so safety at higher doses is less certain.
