Dietary Supplement
Made in the United States
(1 Bottle, 60 Capsules)
Product Description.
Olive leaf extract comes from the leaves of an olive plant. It contains an active ingredient called oleuropein. This nutrient is thought to contribute to the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of olive leaf extract.
You may have heard how a Mediterranean diet has been linked to a decrease in chronic diseases, especially cardiovascular disease. This is thought to be due to the focus on olive oil, leaves, and fruit in the diet. It's been used as traditional medicine for centuries in countries like Greece, Morocco, and Tunisia.
Health Benefits of Olive Leaf Extract:
Improves Heart Health.
Researchers believe olive leaf extract can have positive effects on atherosclerosis, or narrowing of the arteries, which is the highest risk factor for heart disease. High levels of LDL, or "bad" cholesterol, and total cholesterol are risk factors for developing this disease. One study from 2015 assessed the effects of olive leaf extract on cholesterol levels. Patients who took the extract for eight weeks had significantly decreased cholesterol levels.
Lowers Blood Pressure.
Olive leaf extract may help lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure. A 2017 study found that olive leaf extract successfully lowered blood pressure. A lower blood pressure can reduce your risk of stroke and heart attack.
Weight Loss.
Along with heart-healthy benefits and type 2 diabetes protection, it makes sense that olive leaf extract could also help with weight loss. An animal study from 2014 researched the effect of olive leaf extract in preventing high-fat, diet-induced obesity. It's thought that olive leaf extract prevents obesity by regulating the expression of genes that affect weight gain.
Anti Inflammatory.
The polyphenols in olive leaf extract are antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. In fact, olive leaves and their extracts have long been used (orally and topically) throughout the Mediterranean to combat painful, inflamed joints, and arthritis.
