A member asked:

Does oil of oregano destroy healthy bacteria probiotics?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No info: There is no info on the effect of oregano oil on probiotics but intuitively one would think not. If you are concerned about potential effect then it would make sense to temporally separate the two products by taking each well away from the other.
