The olive leaf is a cornerstone of the Mediterranean diet, and scientists are researching its ability to prevent chronic diseases.

The beneficial effect is attributed in part to the olive leaf's potent and health-promoting properties.

Olive leaf extract is a concentrated dose of nutrients found in the leaves of olive trees. It's a rich source of antioxidants that help to keep your immune system in good shape.

The bitter flavour and distinct perfume of olive fruits are due to oleuropein, the basic phenolic component found in olive leaf and its extract. Furthermore, oleuropein and its hydrolyzed derivatives have been found to have numerous health benefits due to their antioxidant properties.

According to several studies, olive leaf can improve diabetic and cardiovascular disease parameters through a variety of processes. Natural antioxidants derived from plant sources are becoming increasingly popular as a replacement for synthetic antioxidants.

The olive tree, with its oil, fruits, and leaves, is widely regarded as one of the species with the highest antioxidant activity among natural antioxidants.
