First of all I'd like to say that I very seldom give a 5 star review, the item has to be exceptionally good for 5 stars. Instead of me writing a dissertation on this oregano, I'm going to say all of the positive reviews that are written on this product are true, everything that has been said are some of the same things I would have written. Now I take 2 of these soft gels 3 times a day and I will continue this regimen for at least 3-4 weeks, then I will taper it to twice a day for another week or 2 then once a day. Its working from A to Z, this is a God given natural herb. Its important that its taken with food, otherwise, you will be belching up the strong flavor of oregano, if you take it on an empty stomach, it may not set right with you, it may cause stomach upset, which is what I experience in the beginning. Each time I take it, I have food on my stomach and have not had any problems with, belching it or any upset. Because of how I'm taken it, I've already ordered 3 more bottles from puritans pride where you get 3 for the price of 1, the only issue with this is that, they are 1500mg so I will only take 1 a day, which is what I'm taking right now. Oregano Oil has Antiviral Properties for flu colds, shingles, varicela and all viruses. Please unless you are allergic to oregano, buy it right now, hurry, you're feel better in the long run. I've only been taking it now for 1 week, just think how I'll be after months.
