Olive Leaf

Olive Leaf extracts come from the leaves of the Olive tree, a small evergreen native to the Mediterranean regions. Revered throughout history, the olive tree is perhaps most famous for its fruit, which are both eaten and used to produce olive oil. However, the leaves of the olive tree have also been used since ancient times as a treatment for fever, and topically for wounds, rashes and infections.

Olive leaf extracts are now gaining a wider appreciation for their anti-viral, anti-bacterial and antioxidant properties. Most of the medicinal benefits of olive leaf extract are due to its high levels of the constituent oleuropein.Studies have shown that oleuropein inhibits the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, thus helping to maintain a healthy cardiovascular system. The anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties of oleuropein stem from its ability to penetrate infected cells and stop virus's from multiplying, effectively inactivating them and stopping their spread. Research has shown that taking Olive Leaf supplements may help to boost the immune system, stopping the spread of viral and bacterial infections, lower blood pressure and maintain healthy cholesterol levels.
