Codival ADP (Oregano Emulsion) 60Pearls 300g

Product Information

Use a medium sized bowl. To get the oil and vinegar to incorporate well, use a medium-sized bowl to allow for enough movement of the whisk. Trust us, we’ve done it in small bowls before and it’s almost impossible to get the oil and vinegar to meld! Found in the Mediterranean, throughout many parts of Europe, and in South and Central Asia, medicinal grade oregano is distilled to extract the essential oil from the herb, which is where a high concentration of the herb’s active constituents are found. It takes over 1,000 pounds of wild oregano to produce just one pound of oregano essential oil, in fact. Council of Europe. Oregano—Origani Herba.

[ Google Scholar] In 2011, the Journal of Medicinal Food published a study that evaluated the antibacterial activity of oregano oil against five different types of bad bacteria. After evaluating the antibacterial characteristics of oil of oregano, it showed significant antibacterial properties against all five species. The highest activity was observed against E. Coli, which suggests that oregano oil could potentially be routinely used to promote gastrointestinal health and prevent deadly food poisoning.

Because oregano oil might interfere with other medications, always ask your doctor if it’s safe to take internally depending on your specific situation.

This helps reduce the risk for irritation and adverse reactions by diluting the oil.Woranuch, S.; Yoksan, R. Eugenol-loaded chitosan nanoparticles: I.

(2021) to prepare OEO-loaded multilayer nano-emulsions by high energy methods ( Espinosa-Sandoval et al., 2021). In this study, octenyl succinic anhydride-modified starch combined with partially deacetylated chitosan of medium and low molecular weight and carboxymethylcellulose was used to protect OEO in a multilayer system. Interestingly, using an in vitro gastric condition simulating test, the authors showed that each polymeric layer influenced OEO bioaccessibility, obtaining the highest value for the three-layer system. Spherical polymeric NPs based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and chitosan loaded with OEO have also been prepared by electrospraying ( Vehapi et al., 2020). Results demonstrated that the encapsulation of OEO and the presence of chitosan led to a superior antifungal effect of the nanoencapsulated system compared to free OEO.

[ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef]Other biomedical applications of carvacrol-loaded nanocarriers have been reported. Khan et al. (2019) demonstrated the potent anti-angiogenic effect both, in vitro and in vivo, of carvacrol-loaded O/W nanoemulsions, by reducing the expression of several angiogenic markers such as COX-2, VEGF, and CD31 in a lung adenocarcinoma model ( Khan et al., 2019). Furthermore, solid lipid NPs incorporating carvacrol were prepared to treat lung damage of airway smoke inhalation and tested in an in vivo rat model by Carvalho et al. (2020). Results showed that carvacrol-loaded solid lipid NPs could minimize oxidative stress and inhalation injury and histological damage generated from smoke inhalation in rodents compared to the negative control.

[ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef][ Green Version] Thymol, one of oregano’s active compounds, is a similar compound to menthol, which is found in peppermint oil. Like menthol, thymol may help relax the soft tissue of the throat and stomach, which can help to decrease GERD, heartburn and discomfort after eating. By evaluating various markers in the sciatic nerve in mice, it was observed for the first time that carvacrol decreased the pro-inflammatory response in mice being treated by MTX. Being a relatively new concept in the research world, it’s likely that there will be more studies testing these results because “groundbreaking” doesn’t even begin to describe the significance of this potential oregano health benefit.Kachur, K.; Suntres, Z.
