Description
Made from only the finest leaves, our Olive leaf extract comes in a liquid form that is optimized for peak absorption and digestion, and can be taken directly from the bottle.
Olive leaf has also been used through history as a natural remedy to treat cuts and heal wounds. Modern research is now proving that it can also play an important role in ensuring brain health, heart stability, vision well-being and even hair growth!
Studies have shown that Olive Leaf Extract can prevent the formation of arterial plaque which lead to strokes or myocardial infarction (heart attacks). Not only that, but this supplement is also a natural way to improve cardiovascular health, as the chemical compound oleocanthal has been shown in animal studies and human clinical trials to lower blood pressure and blood sugar levels while increasing good HDLs (the “good” kind).
The olive is a fundamental part of the world’s healthiest diet, the Mediterranean diet, and can be found across Europe and Asia. A vegetarian food source for centuries due to its fat content – researchers believe that this food played an important role in populations’ diets during periods where food was scarce, most probably because of the high levels of energy it provides.
The main constituent of Olive Leaf Extract is the phytochemical, oleuropein, which gives Extra Virgin Olive Oil its bitter taste. Oleuropein is the main glycoside that further breaks down into Elenolic acid, which itself is anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal!

Use for rebuilding immune system after bad bugs. Or for building immunity before heading to countries to work where my body system is unfamiliar with the water and food etc. Very effective. I agree about the bottle comment above, a lot gets spilled in its use unless you decant, which I do.

great taste – boosts with energy! I suggested it to a friend suffering Fibromyalgia – report was that episodes of pain lasted less : )

Easy to take. No unpleasant taste. Good dose of the active ingredient. However, we have marked it down as it is very difficult to pour from this bottle and not have spillage down the side of the bottle. We feel this is a waste of an expensive product. We have tried various methods of pouring and the only thing that works effectively is using a ‘dropper’ from another product. Disappointing.
