These studies suggest that the optimal dose of oregano varies by species and desired effect, with 40 mg/kg body weight being effective for inhibiting colon carcinogenesis in rats, and up to 50 g/kg improving taste and fertility in quails, but with a reduction in fertility observed at doses above 20 g/kg.

Oregano (Origanum vulgare L.) is a herb commonly used for its flavor and potential health benefits. Research has investigated its effects on health parameters in different animal models, including its impact on colon cancer and egg production in quails.
The research suggests that oregano can have beneficial effects on health, with specific doses showing effectiveness in different animal models. For rats, a dose of 40 mg/kg body weight was found to be optimal in reducing carcinogenic effects, while in quails, 50 g/kg improved taste and 20 g/kg increased fertility. It is important to note that these findings are specific to animal studies and may not directly translate to human dosages.
