Oregano Extract is a natural botanical ingredient derived from Origanum vulgare, primarily processed via steam distillation or solvent extraction to isolate bioactive compounds. The core active component, carvacrol, defines its potency, though specific molecular formulas vary by extract type (e.g., oleoresin vs. essential oil). CAS numbers differ: Carvacrol is 491-05-6, while the general extract lacks a single unique identifier.
High concentrations may cause mucosal irritation; clinical use requires strict dosage control. Store in cool, dark environments away from light and heat to prevent oxidation of volatile terpenes. Ensure proper ventilation during handling to avoid respiratory sensitization.
