I have been using Nature’s Way products for years because of the purity and high quality of their products. It is a very concentrated oregano oil product, but it is NOT soy free. I eat soy so it’s not an issue for me personally. It has two ingredients: the standardized 75-85% Carvacrol, which is what you want to look for when buying an Oregano oil product. It also contains some flaxseed oil. The vegan capsule contains soy lecithin. I trust that what is on the label is what is in the bottle, not like some companies that you can’t trust. I keep this product in my cabinet at all times. I take it at the first sign of a cold or flu and take it with me traveling overseas, especially in case I eat something and it doesn’t agree with my stomach or if I suspect a parasitic infection. It calms an upset stomach fast. I only take it when I need it because while it kills all the bad bacteria, it also kills the good and no matter how good you eat, without good bacteria you will have constipation. Under these conditions, I take 4 capsules three times daily with meals. If you find that it is causing constipation, you can take a probiotic a few hours after your Oregano oil. Also, if I find that a cold sore is wanting to form, I take a capsule and prick it with a pin and squeeze some out and put it on the cold sore and then swallow that capsule with some water. It will burn a little for a couple minutes but that’s it. The next morning it is completely gone. Keep the liquid away from your nose and eyes and tongue. There are 60 capsules in each bottle. The capsules are average size and are not hard to swallow.
