Is this product suitable for people with a sensitive stomach? — OREGANO OIL CAPSULES N120 - SWANSON (Oregano Oil)

Oregano oil belongs to the spicy plant extracts with pronounced aromatic compounds, so people with a sensitive stomach or a tendency to react to strong plant ingredients should approach it with caution.

The olive oil in the capsules' formula acts as a soothing base and makes the form less harsh compared with the concentrated liquid oil. Nevertheless, the 10:1 extract remains fairly potent, and in people with increased gastrointestinal sensitivity, taking it on an empty stomach may cause discomfort.

Practical tip: it is better to start taking it with food rather than before or after it — food creates a buffer and reduces direct contact of the extract with the mucous membrane. If burning, heaviness or other discomfort appears after the first doses, pause and consult a specialist before continuing.

People with a diagnosed gastrointestinal condition, as well as those taking medication, are advised to get a doctor's consultation before adding this supplement to their diet.
