Potent Anti Oxidant Activity

Oregano contains numerous phytonutrients including thymol and rosmarinic acid that have also been shown to function as potent antioxidants that can prevent oxygen based damage to cell structures throughout the body. In laboratory studies, oregano has demonstrated stronger anti oxidant capacity than either of the two synthetic anti oxidants commonly added to processed food BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) and BHA (butylated bydroxyanisole).
