Olive Leaf P.E. 35% Oleuropein Powder

Olive Leaf Extract (Olea europaea) is composed of several bitter phenolics not included in products derived from the olive fruit. The most prevalent of these is oleuropein. When olives or olive leaves are processed for eating, the oleuropein content is reduced by soaking the olives in Lye, which cleaves the molecule into hydroxytyrosol and elenolic acid. While hydroxytyrosol has its own antioxidant effects, Oleuropein is believed to have a much broader range of biological properties. Our extract is standardized to �?�35% Oleuropein.

Olive leaves and branches have been a sign of peace health for thousands of years and their use in folk medicine dates back centuries. Traditional uses of olive leaves and unprocessed bitter �??medicinal�?� olive oils included high blood pressure, gout, and autoimmune inflammatory disorders.

More recent studies suggest that the constituents of olive leaves may lower blood pressure (which is thought to indirectly improve cholesterol levels), exert strong free-radical scavenging effects, and increase circulating catecholamines. The olive tree is a staple of the Mediterranean diet, which studies indicate may be the healthiest diet for humans.

This product is 50 grams [1.76 oz] of pure Olive Leaf Extract, standardized to contain �?�35% Oleuropein in a transparent, reclosable plastic jar with an integrated Safety Seal and Shrinkband.
