Metagenics CandiBactin-AR 120 Softgels

Metagenics CandiBactin-AR combines concentrated thyme and oregano essential oils with sage and lemon balm leaf extracts. This 120-softgel bottle is the larger package of the four-botanical formula. Compare its ingredient amounts, softgel ingredients and three-times-daily directions rather than treating it as plain oregano oil.

Thyme and Oregano Oil Amounts

The manufacturer's Supplement Facts list one softgel per serving, containing 183 mg thyme (Thymus vulgaris) oil providing 55 mg thymol, and 100 mg oregano (Origanum vulgare) oil providing 55 mg carvacrol. Thymol and carvacrol are included within their respective oil amounts, not extra amounts to add to the totals.

Sage, Lemon Balm and Softgel Ingredients

Each softgel also supplies 75 mg sage (Salvia officinalis) leaf 5.5:1 extract and 50 mg lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) leaf 5:1 extract. Rosemary oil is not listed in the manufacturer's formula.

Other ingredients are gelatin, rice bran oil, glycerin, beeswax, water, D-sorbitol, annatto extract for color, sunflower lecithin and silica. Because the softgels contain gelatin and beeswax, this is not a vegan product; botanical ingredients alone do not establish vegetarian suitability. Check the current package for complete ingredient and allergen labeling.

Directions and 120-Softgel Bottle

The manufacturer's directions are to take one softgel three times daily before or with meals and a full glass of water, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. Swallow each softgel whole; do not open or chew it.

One softgel is one labeled serving, while the suggested daily schedule uses three softgels. At that schedule, 120 softgels provide 40 days of use, not 120 days. A different practitioner-directed schedule changes the duration.
