Gaia Herbal Liquid Phyto-Caps
Oil of Oregano Liquid Phyto-Caps
60 Liquid-filled Capsules • 100% Vegetarian $19.99

Supercritical Extract of Oregano
Oregano contains key constituents that function synergistically to support the body's natural resistance to microscopic invaders in the environment. Specifically, the volatile oils found in oregano, including carvacrol and thymol, help to support a healthy microbial environment in the intestines and throughout the body. Further, oregano leaf acts as an antioxidant and contains the flavonoid rosmarinic acid that appears to normalize the chemical cyclooxygenase 2 (Cox-2). Cox-2 is associated with inflammation in tissues. As well, olive leaf may encourage the healthy elimination of toxins from the body and support the healthy production of bile. There is insufficient reliable research to scientifically validate all of these actions in humans.*
