HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Super Strength Oreganol Oil of Wild Oregano by North American Herb & Spice

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

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (140 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains one active ingredient: oregano oil from wild oregano, supplied as a softgel capsule. The oil is much more concentrated than the dried herb you'd sprinkle on food, which is why it's classed as a supplement rather than a culinary spice.

The only other ingredient listed is tapioca gelatin, which makes up the capsule itself.

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 we have for oregano oil is not established for the conditions it's often marketed for. Our data 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 the human studies aren't there yet to confirm it does.

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 used in normal food amounts is generally well tolerated, but this is a concentrated supplement and the safety data is thinner. The most common side effect reported is stomach upset.

Rarely, allergic reactions including severe ones (anaphylaxis) have occurred in sensitive people—one case involved swelling of the lips, tongue, and face after eating oregano-seasoned food. Topical oregano oil at high concentrations can irritate skin and mucous membranes.

For pregnancy, the safety data advises against medicinal or supplement amounts; food amounts are likely okay. Breastfeeding safety isn't established for supplement doses, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you.

If you have an allergy to herbs in the mint family (Lamiaceae), you should be especially cautious.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Oregano

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 take this, make sure your doctor or pharmacist knows about it if you're on blood thinners (like warfarin) or antiplatelet drugs (like aspirin or clopidogrel)—oregano oil may raise bleeding risk. Also flag it if you take diabetes medications, since oregano might lower your blood sugar further.

No other interaction categories are documented for the ingredient we could check.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This supplement is for people curious about concentrated oregano oil for general wellness, though human evidence for specific benefits is lacking. If you take blood thinners or diabetes medications, clear it with your doctor or pharmacist first—the interactions are real enough to matter.

Anyone with a mint-family herb allergy or pregnant or breastfeeding should check with their own provider before starting.

Super Strength Oreganol Oil of Wild Oregano by North American Herb & Spice: Common Questions

Does Super Strength Oreganol Oil of Wild Oregano by North American Herb & Spice interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Super Strength Oreganol Oil of Wild Oregano 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?
Super Strength Oreganol Oil of Wild Oregano 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 this safe to take if I'm pregnant?
The safety data advises against medicinal or supplement amounts of oregano oil during pregnancy. Normal food amounts are likely fine, but concentrated supplements are a different story. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you right now.
What's the most common side effect?
Stomach upset is the most common side effect reported when oregano is taken by mouth. Rare allergic reactions, including severe ones, have also been reported in sensitive people.
Does oregano oil actually work for colds or respiratory problems?
We don't have enough reliable human evidence to say whether it does. The data rates it as insufficient evidence for upper respiratory infections, bronchitis, and asthma—so the benefit just isn't proven yet.
Can I use this if I'm allergic to other herbs?
If you're allergic to plants in the mint family—like thyme, basil, or rosemary—be cautious. Oregano is also in that family, and cross-reactions have been reported. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist first.
How is this different from cooking with oregano?
This is a concentrated oil supplement, not the dried herb you'd use in the kitchen. It's much stronger, so the safety profile is different and less studied in large doses. Food amounts of oregano are generally well tolerated.
