HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Oregulin 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.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
Oregulin is an 8-ingredient blend built around oils and extracts of culinary and traditional botanicals. The active ingredients are extra virgin olive oil, cumin oil (wild), wild oregano oil, fennel oil, pumpkin seed oil, wild myrtle oil, fenugreek oil extract, and cinnamon oleoresin extract.
The softgel capsule itself is made with beef gelatin as an inactive ingredient. Each of these botanical oils and extracts brings its own traditional uses—oregano and cumin for respiratory and digestive support, fennel for menstrual comfort, pumpkin seed for prostate health, and fenugreek for sexual function and blood sugar.
The blend is formulated as a liquid-filled softgel to deliver these concentrated plant oils in one dose.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence for what Oregulin's ingredients can do is mixed and often limited. Fennel is possibly effective for menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea), and fenugreek is possibly effective for sexual function, sexual arousal, menstrual cramps, and helping manage diabetes.
Pumpkin seed oil is possibly effective for benign prostate enlargement. For most of the other claimed uses—respiratory health, digestive comfort, and inflammation—the data we hold rates the evidence as insufficient to know whether these ingredients work.
That means the research hasn't been thorough enough yet to say yes or no.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Most of these ingredients are well tolerated in typical food amounts, but the concentrated supplements here are stronger and carry more caution. Gastrointestinal upset is the most common side effect across cumin, wild oregano, and fennel oils when taken as supplements.
Allergic reactions, including serious ones like anaphylaxis or bronchial spasm, are rare but reported for cumin, oregano, fennel, pumpkin, and fenugreek. Wild myrtle oil is less studied overall and carries rare but serious risks (respiratory failure in large amounts).
Cinnamon oleoresin extract contains coumarin, which over long periods at high doses may stress the liver. For pregnancy: wild oregano oil and fennel oil are rated possibly unsafe and should be avoided during pregnancy.
Fenugreek is likely unsafe in medicinal amounts during pregnancy. Myrtle oil is likely unsafe during pregnancy.
Cinnamon oleoresin extract is rated likely safe during pregnancy, but the others lack clear safety data. For breastfeeding, fennel and fenugreek have limited data; oregano oil safety is not established.
Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product fits your situation.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking Oregulin, double-check these medication types with your doctor or pharmacist: anti-seizure drugs like phenytoin (Dilantin)—fenugreek may lower their blood levels; blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs (warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel)—multiple ingredients may raise bleeding risk; diabetes medications—several ingredients may lower blood sugar further; birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy—fennel may reduce their effect; theophylline, lithium, ciprofloxacin (Cipro), metoprolol (Toprol), and sildenafil (Viagra). Altogether, these interactions span 1,160 individual medications.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Oregulin may be worth considering if you're interested in traditional botanical support for prostate health, menstrual comfort, or sexual function—but the evidence behind most of its uses is incomplete. If you take diabetes medications, blood thinners, anti-seizure drugs, birth control, lithium, or any hepatotoxic medication, you need to check this product against your specific prescriptions before starting.
Pregnant or breastfeeding people should talk with their doctor or pharmacist first, as several ingredients carry caution during these times. Run your full medication list through your own healthcare provider or pharmacist to be sure this product won't interfere.

For each ingredient in Oregulin with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Fennel Oil
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, fennel might increase the risk of bleeding when used with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.
Animal research suggests that fennel oil has antithrombotic and antiplatelet effects.
Ciprofloxacin (Cipro)
Theoretically, fennel might decrease the levels and clinical effects of ciprofloxacin.
Animal research shows that fennel reduces ciprofloxacin bioavailability by nearly 50%, possibly due to the metal cations such as calcium, iron, and magnesium contained in fennel. This study also found that fennel increased tissue distribution and slowed elimination of ciprofloxacin.
Contraceptive Drugs
Theoretically, taking large amounts of fennel might decrease the effects of contraceptive drugs due to competition for estrogen receptors.
Some constituents of fennel have estrogenic activity.

Theoretically, fennel might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro research suggests that fennel inhibits CYP3A4 enzyme activity. This effect has not been reported in humans.
Estrogens
Theoretically, taking large amounts of fennel might interfere with hormone replacement therapy due to competition for estrogen receptors.
Some constituents of fennel have estrogenic activity.
Tamoxifen (Nolvadex)
Theoretically, taking large amounts of fennel might decrease the antiestrogenic effect of tamoxifen.
Some constituents of fennel have estrogenic activity, which may interfere with the antiestrogenic activity of tamoxifen.
Cinnamon Oleoresin Extract
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, cassia cinnamon may have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs.
Cassia cinnamon may lower blood glucose levels, and have additive effects in patients treated with antidiabetic agents. Dose adjustments to diabetes medications might be necessary.
Hepatotoxic Drugs
Theoretically, large doses of cassia cinnamon might cause additive effects when used with hepatotoxic drugs.
There is some concern that ingesting large amounts of cassia cinnamon for an extended duration might cause hepatotoxicity in some people. Cassia cinnamon contains coumarin, which can cause hepatotoxicity in animal models. In humans, very high doses of coumarin from 50-7000 mg/day can result in hepatotoxicity that resolves when coumarin use is discontinued. Lower amounts might also cause liver problems in sensitive people, such as those with liver disease or those taking potentially hepatotoxic agents.
Fenugreek Oil Extract
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, fenugreek might have additive effects when used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
Some of the constituents in fenugreek have antiplatelet effects in animal and in vitro research. However, common fenugreek products might not contain sufficient concentrations of these constituents for clinical effects. A clinical study in patients with coronary artery disease or diabetes shows that taking fenugreek seed powder 2.5 grams twice daily for 3 months does not affect platelet aggregation, fibrinolytic activity, or fibrinogen levels .
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, fenugreek seed might have additive hypoglycemic effects when used with antidiabetes drugs.
Clinical research shows that fenugreek seed can reduce fasting blood glucose and 2-hour postprandial glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes.
Clopidogrel (Plavix)
Theoretically, fenugreek seed might alter the clinical effects of clopidogrel by inhibiting its conversion to the active form.
Animal research shows that fenugreek seed 200 mg/kg daily for 14 days increases the maximum serum concentration of clopidogrel by 21%. It is unclear how this affects the pharmacokinetics of the active metabolite of clopidogrel; however, this study found that concomitant use of fenugreek seed and clopidogrel prolonged bleeding time by an additional 11%.
Metoprolol (Toprol)
Theoretically, fenugreek seed might have additive hypotensive effects when used with metoprolol.
Animal research shows that fenugreek seed 300 mg/kg daily for 2 weeks decreases systolic and diastolic blood pressure by 9% and 11%, respectively, when administered alone, and by 15% and 22%, respectively, when given with metoprolol 10 mg/kg.
Phenytoin (Dilantin)
Theoretically, fenugreek might decrease plasma levels of phenytoin.
Animal research shows that taking fenugreek seeds for 1 week decreases maximum concentrations and the area under the curve of a single dose of phenytoin by 44% and 72%, respectively. This seems to be related to increased clearance. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Sildenafil (Viagra)
Theoretically, concurrent use of sildenafil and fenugreek might reduce levels and therapeutic effects of sildenafil.
Animal research shows that taking fenugreek seeds for 1 week reduces maximum concentrations and the area under the curve of a single dose of sildenafil by 27% and 48%, respectively. So far, this interaction has not been reported in humans.
Theophylline
Theoretically, fenugreek may reduce the levels and clinical effects of theophylline.
Animal research shows that fenugreek 50 grams daily for 7 days reduces the maximum serum concentration (Cmax) of theophylline by 28% and the area under the plasma drug concentration-time curve (AUC) by 22%.
Warfarin (Coumadin)
Theoretically, fenugreek might have additive effects with warfarin and increase the international normalized ratio (INR).
Some fenugreek constituents have antiplatelet effects, although these might not be present in concentrations that are clinically significant. In one case report, a patient taking warfarin experienced an increased INR when starting to take fenugreek in combination with boldo.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Fenugreek may also have an additive effect on blood pressure-lowering medications. Studies on animals have shown that fenugreek seed can decrease both systolic and diastolic blood pressure by up to 22% when combined with metoprolol. Therefore, it is essential to monitor your blood pressure regularly if you are taking fenugreek and metoprolol together or any other antihypertensive drugs.
Cumin Oil, Wild
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, cumin might increase the risk of bleeding when used with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.
In vitro evidence suggests that cumin can inhibit platelet aggregation. Theoretically, cumin might increase the risk of bleeding when used with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, cumin might increase the risk of hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
Animal research suggests that cumin can lower blood sugar in diabetic animals. However, research in humans with and without diabetes has found conflicting results.
Rifampin (Rifadin)
Theoretically, cumin might increase the effects and adverse effects of rifampin.
Animal research suggests that an aqueous extract of cumin containing a specific flavonoid glycoside can increase the bioavailability and plasma levels of rifampin.
wild Oregano Oil
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs
Theoretically, oregano might increase the risk of bleeding when taken with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro research shows that aristolochic acid isolated from oregano leaves has antithrombin activity. It has also been reported that oregano oil inhibits arachidonic acid-induced, and ADP-induced, platelet aggregation.
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, oregano might increase the risk for hypoglycemia when taken with antidiabetes drugs.
In vitro and animal research shows that oregano extracts might lower blood glucose levels.
Pumpkin seed Oil
Lithium
Pumpkin might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium.
Pumpkin is thought to have diuretic properties. Theoretically, this might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.
