Description
GI Clear 5 – Premium Oil of Oregano for Digestive Wellness
GI Clear 5 is a concentrated oil of oregano supplement that provides standardized support for digestive and immune wellness. This formula contains high-quality oregano oil emulsified in olive oil for optimal absorption and digestive comfort.
About This Formula
Oil of oregano has been used in Mediterranean traditional medicine for centuries, valued for its natural compounds that support microbial balance and overall wellness. This supplement provides a concentrated 10:1 extract, meaning each softgel contains the equivalent of 1.5 grams of oregano in a potent, easily absorbed form.
The oregano oil is carefully emulsified with olive oil, which serves multiple purposes: it enhances absorption of the active compounds, reduces potential digestive irritation, and provides additional antioxidant benefits. This combination creates a gentler yet effective supplement suitable for daily use.
Active Compounds and Properties
Carvacrol and Thymol These are the primary active compounds in oregano oil, with each softgel standardized to provide 36mg of these phenolic compounds. Carvacrol, in particular, has been extensively studied for its properties in supporting microbial balance and digestive health.
Natural Antioxidants Oil of oregano contains several beneficial compounds including:
- Rosemarinic acid: A phenolic compound with antioxidant properties
- Hydroxycinnamic acid: Supports healthy inflammatory responses
- Labiatic acid: Contributes to the oil's overall antioxidant activity
These compounds work together to neutralize free radicals and support the body's natural inflammatory responses, particularly in the digestive system.
How It Works
Microbial Balance Support Oil of oregano has traditionally been used to help maintain a healthy balance of microorganisms in the digestive tract. The active compounds in oregano oil support the body's natural ability to manage populations of yeast, fungi, and bacteria that can sometimes grow beyond optimal levels.
Digestive Comfort The olive oil base serves as a carrier that helps prevent the strong oregano oil from causing digestive irritation while ensuring the active compounds reach their intended targets in the digestive system.
Antioxidant Activity The natural antioxidants in oregano oil help protect digestive tissues from oxidative stress and support healthy cellular function throughout the gastrointestinal tract.
Traditional and Modern Use
Oil of oregano has a long history of use in Mediterranean cultures, where it was traditionally employed for digestive complaints and general wellness. Ancient Greek physicians documented its use for various health concerns, and it remains a staple in many traditional healing systems today.
Modern research has focused on oregano oil's compounds, particularly carvacrol, and their effects on microbial balance. Studies have examined how these compounds interact with various microorganisms and support the body's natural defense mechanisms.
The combination with olive oil is based on traditional Mediterranean practices where oregano was often consumed with olive oil-rich foods, a combination that traditional healers observed provided better tolerance and effectiveness.
