2 human studies2 improved57 people studied

No study has measured biological age or DNA repair with this product or its ingredients, so there is no direct evidence that it turns back the aging clock. The evidence is two small trials on oxidative stress, the cell-damaging chemical strain linked to aging. In 24 healthy male soldiers, a single 500 milligram oregano capsule taken right after a demanding combat test lowered blood signs of muscle damage and oxidative stress and raised antioxidant markers at one and two hours, compared with placebo [1]. This was a one-time dose measured over a few hours, not a long-term study [1]. This product gives oregano leaf extract at a full dose when taken at two servings a day. In 33 adults with moderate asthma, carvacrol, one of the main active compounds in this product, taken daily for two months at a dose based on body weight, improved oxidative stress markers, inflammatory signals, breathing symptoms and lung function, while the placebo group showed no meaningful change [2]. Because that trial was in people with asthma, the results may not apply to healthy adults who want to slow aging [2]. Neither study reported what share of people improved. Animal and cell studies are never counted.

Biohacker Summary

Members Only0 of 10 recommend it
0 of 10 biohackers on our panel recommend it

Only one panelist spoke about carvacrol, the main ingredient, and he recommends it in pure form as the active part of oregano oil and a strong antimicrobial that can be used instead of meds. No doses or preferred forms were given for it, and nobody else on the panel addressed it directly. Oregano is a smaller ingredient in this product, and most of the panel recommends or uses it, mainly as an antimicrobial for the gut, yeast overgrowth and infections, or as a food herb. One panelist warns against vaporizing oregano oil because it is extremely caustic and irritating, and another stopped using oregano oil in her oil pulling mix.
