Puritan's Pride Oil of Oregano 150mg, Traditional Herbal Immune Support, 180 Rapid Release Softgels, Pack of 2

I usually buy a different brand -I let's call it "product X" - and those capsules were definitely oil of oregano. You can ssmell it as soon as you open the bottle.So when THESE arrived, I opened the bottle and immediately noticed an absence of the scent of oregano. I didn't trust it. The capsules were also twice the size of the pills of Product X I was accustomed to taking, leading me to believe that, if anything, the oil of oregano was diluted in this new brand.I got a needle and dug out one of these capsules, After a little effort, I poked through the skin to reveal the liquid inside. As soon as I withdrew the needle, I could smell the oregano...that nauseating smell with which I had grown familiar, every time I opened the bottle of Product X.. I dabbed with my finger the tiny bead of liquid escaping from the puncture mark, and placed it on the tip of my tongue. Instant burn! That's how you know you have the real stuff. The oregano in the capsule can burn your tongue or skin if used directly without diluting it.So why did I have trouble smelling the oregano in this product? The skin of THESE capsules are much thicker than what I was originally consuming. The capsule's doubled size Is due to the thickness of the skin, not the volume of substance. It also explains why I didn't smell oregano when I opened the bottle; the thickness insulated the liquid, preventing an escape of scent.Now, here's why this thickness of membrane is important: When taking Product X for UTI (which works for me as an option superior to antibiotics...but check with your doctor, first), I always felt nauseated about 25 minutes to an hour post-consumption. THIS brand doesn't make me feel sick. Why? Since the skin of this product is thick, the contents do not spill into my system until the capsule is in my intestines. On the contrary, Product X immediately opened in my stomach, causing gastric distress: nausea, heartburn and oregano burps. The skin of Product X was so thin, I could press it between two fingers, and it would pop. In fact, many reviews of Product X claimed their pills arrived in a big messy clump at the bottom of the bottle. Why did this happen? During shipment, either temperature, rough handling or air pressure was too much for these tiny fellows, causing the pills to expand and burst mid-shipment.I'm looking forward to seeing how this brand works. I did like the fact that Brand X was instrumental in healing my UTI, in spite of it's now-revealed issues. My only concern with this product is whether the Oil of Oregano makes it into my system before being excreted. Will the thickness dissolve in time to be useful? I will leave an update after I use it a bit.I'm not sure I can return to Product X; their supply was depleted when I tried to reorder. If this product works, I'm not sure I want to return to Product X.

Awesome product! I ordered this on July 3, 2024 at $16.02. Now the price has jumped to over $43!?! Will have to research a cheaper alternative.

This is the only brand of oregano oil that doesnt DESTORY my stomach, its still clearly potent but for some reason this one is easier on me!The smell is very strong but its perfect for what i needed it forIt can be taken twice a day and it says with a meal but honestly a cup of tea and a toast is plentyThe value is fantastic ill have plenty of it for a long whilethis will be my go too brand from here on for this

I know everyone has different responses to different products but I take Oregeno oil and an amino Acid called NAC at the first sign of a seasonal allergy and it noticeably makes my breathing seem more productive with less physical effort. I originally took this combo for allergies that have all but dissapeared now but now I take it anytime I feel I am having a respiratory issue with a cold etc. Maybe it will help you too.

Good price

We’ve been buying Oregano oil for over a decade. I was happy with this brand. You can smell the quality lol. They’re in little capsules, so they’re easy to swallow. This is a great brand that I’d recommend!

we have been uneasy, for years, about taking antibiotics, due to the damage to your natural good bacteria, as well as the reduction of your body's natural antibiotic or resistance system......though we would be certain to take NOW Saccharomyces Boulardii,60 Veg Capsules during the antibiotic regimen and continue back with extra probiotics after; Bio-Kult Advanced Probiotic Multi-Strain Formula Capsules, 120 Capsules ..., we still felt like we were damaging our gut flora as well as our body's natural defense system.so recently, the holistic use of oil of oregano in place of antibiotics was brought to our attention and we could not be more pleased!not only does the oil Majestic Pure Oregano Oil, 4 fl oz - Natural, Therapeutic Grade Oregano Essential oil work very well on toenail fungus and other topical skin fungul ailments (excellent treatment of occasional psoriasis flare-ups, that required Rx Desoximetasone), these gelcaps of oregano oil have been more effective as an antibiotic, without the breakdown of your natural resistance and the gut flora harm!.... it is not a snake oil or a placebo effect!... my wife and i know our bodies well and are certain these cured a lung infection recently, that could not be cured without antibiotics in the past. i simply maintained my standard probiotic dosage and added these gelcaps, and was better within a week later. we are absolutely sold on oil of oregano, in place of antibiotics.if you are a holistic healer of self, you likely know about this... if not, but have a sense that holistic options may be better and share the same concerns of the negative aspects of antibiotics, then try these instead... there is plenty of validating research out there ("oil of oregano") and we think you will be healthily pleased! :-)be well and Thank you! :-)

Great product at a reasonable price with speedy delivery. Thanks!
