Question 1

How percent carvacrol is in this supplement?

Accepted Answer

This product is 100% pure wild mountain Oregano oil. Why Carvacrol is Only a Piece of the Puzzle
For overall health there is nothing superior to a high-quality wild oregano oil. This is especially true if the wild oregano is a true whole food extract. Regardless, any whole food supplement is superior to the refined or altered extract. Studies at Georgetown University have proven that whole food extracts of wild oregano in the form of oil of wild oregano are twice as powerful as synthetically produced versions. In this case in testing on lab mice the synthetic compound, carvacrol, one of the key active ingredients in oregano proved noxious as a sole ingredient on the mice’s health. In contrast, the whole food form, the pure, unadulterated wild oregano oil with some 30 active ingredients, proved health giving and health-reviving. In yet other studies carvacrol alone proved only have as effective as the whole, God-given complex. This demonstrates that it is the blend of all the natural ingredients in this wild, potent spice extract that accounts for its powers rather than a single, prominent ingredient.

Yet, people seem to be waging a war about active ingredient levels: a carvacrol war. As it turns out in thorough lab analysis of some 30 oregano brands some 2/3 of the high-carvacrol brands had a suspicious profile. That profile is one of genetically engineered oregano. This GMO is made by injecting the stalks of the wild oregano plants with noxious bacterial protein to force it to make high levels of carvacrol.

Regarding wild oregano oil complex versus carvacrol alone the study by North American Herb & Spice (NAHS or NAHS Therapy). The wild oregano used in the study was derived from mountain-grown wild material growing as high as 12,000 feet above sea level. This grade of wild oregano is actually naturally high in carvacrol, containing between 63% and 79%. Despite this, carvacrol is not the sole focus. There is synergy in all the active ingredients, and this altered when the end product is corrupted through the addition of synthetic carvacrol. For this reason any claim of 85% of more carvacrol is suspect, as this is rare in wild nature.
