Puritan's Pride Oil of Oregano 150mg, Traditional Herbal Immune Support, 180 Rapid Release Softgels, Pack of 2

I originally purchased this for uti issues. It definitely works wonders. But the big surprise was what it did for my sinuses. I have had a plugged ear and sinus headaches for YEARS. There were times when the whole left side of my face would be misereable; stuffy, painful, and my eye would swell up. Within an hour of taking the first pill, so much mucous loosened up and I was able to blow it out (sorry tmi)..long story short, I take one with breakfast, and one with dinner. I have not had a sinus headache since taking it, and my ear has stayed open. I have heard that you should take breaks, so I did, and within a couple of days, I could feel my sinuses filling up. I now take it daily. I've had no issues whatsoever. At least not yet, and I've been taking it for a couple of years. Side note: I have tried several brands, and this is the only one that has been effective for my sinuses. I know Nestlé has purchased Puritan's Pride and I PRAY that they don't change the formula.

Same product as ordering directly from manufacturer. Much easier and less expensive to order her on Amazon, especially if you have Prime and don’t have to pay for shipping.

These oil of oregano pills are an absolute staple in my supplement arsenal. My son started taking them back during COVID, and I’ve been consistently impressed with how effective they are. The softgels are easy to swallow, and I love that they contain natural antioxidant properties without any harsh additives. Since adding these to his routine, I’ve noticed several key benefits such as he’s stayed healthier, even when people around him was sick, so it offers stronger immune support. Also, I have noticed that it’s great for my joints and general aches. It improves digestion as it keep everything regular and balanced. We use it as a natural defense during seasonal changes or when we feel run down, so it offers antifungal and antibacterial properties. And because I am a germaphobe, I appreciate this the most and that’s that it freshens breath and support oral health too. Also, I appreciate that these are rapid release, so they start working quickly, especially if I take them at the first sign of feeling under the weather. If you’re looking for a natural, reliable immune and health booster, these oregano oil softgels are a fantastic choice.

always good to have to help ward off the flu season

I usually buy a different brand -I let's call it "product X" - and those capsules were definitely oil of oregano. You can ssmell it as soon as you open the bottle. So when THESE arrived, I opened the bottle and immediately noticed an absence of the scent of oregano. I didn't trust it. The capsules were also twice the size of the pills of Product X I was accustomed to taking, leading me to believe that, if anything, the oil of oregano was diluted in this new brand. I got a needle and dug out one of these capsules, After a little effort, I poked through the skin to reveal the liquid inside. As soon as I withdrew the needle, I could smell the oregano...that nauseating smell with which I had grown familiar, every time I opened the bottle of Product X.. I dabbed with my finger the tiny bead of liquid escaping from the puncture mark, and placed it on the tip of my tongue. Instant burn! That's how you know you have the real stuff. The oregano in the capsule can burn your tongue or skin if used directly without diluting it. So why did I have trouble smelling the oregano in this product? The skin of THESE capsules are much thicker than what I was originally consuming. The capsule's doubled size Is due to the thickness of the skin, not the volume of substance. It also explains why I didn't smell oregano when I opened the bottle; the thickness insulated the liquid, preventing an escape of scent. Now, here's why this thickness of membrane is important: When taking Product X for UTI (which works for me as an option superior to antibiotics...but check with your doctor, first), I always felt nauseated about 25 minutes to an hour post-consumption. THIS brand doesn't make me feel sick. Why? Since the skin of this product is thick, the contents do not spill into my system until the capsule is in my intestines. On the contrary, Product X immediately opened in my stomach, causing gastric distress: nausea, heartburn and oregano burps. The skin of Product X was so thin, I could press it between two fingers, and it would pop. In fact, many reviews of Product X claimed their pills arrived in a big messy clump at the bottom of the bottle. Why did this happen? During shipment, either temperature, rough handling or air pressure was too much for these tiny fellows, causing the pills to expand and burst mid-shipment. I'm looking forward to seeing how this brand works. I did like the fact that Brand X was instrumental in healing my UTI, in spite of it's now-revealed issues. My only concern with this product is whether the Oil of Oregano makes it into my system before being excreted. Will the thickness dissolve in time to be useful? I will leave an update after I use it a bit. I'm not sure I can return to Product X; their supply was depleted when I tried to reorder. If this product works, I'm not sure I want to return to Product X.

Product looked good .

All the capsules are stuck together. I had to cut open the bottle, to remove the block. Now I keep that in the fridge and put on a fight with it every time to unstick a capsule. Some are coming off ruptured and leaking the oil. I'd give one star only, but for the taste of the oil - it's pleasant, nice smelling and tastes like good quality. Pity for the condition of the capsules inside.

Upon delivery, the capsules were all melted together in one solid mass, with no moisture absorbers in the bottle. Very disappointing.

Much recommended for ones with recurring stomach infections: SIBO/IBS. Gives relief after a couple of days. Don't expect it to work as fast as an antibiotic. It can, however, successfully replace the antibiotic, in just a few days. Go for it.
