Benefits Of Olive Leaf ExtractLearn About This Truly Unique Medicinal HerbThe benefits of olive leaf extract have been well known in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern countries for centuries. This natural medicinal herb is extracted from the actual leaf of the olive tree, although there are also (lesser) benefits from using olive oil as well as olive oil and leaf extract combinations. The benefits of olive leaf extract include:
Several research studies have recorded and reported on the effectiveness of olive leaf extract in several different clinical trials.
Olive leaf contains a series of phytochemicals known as secoiridoids. The most important of these - and the major active ingredient in olive leaf - is oleuropein – which in itself is comprised of 95 different compounds. When Oleuropein is extracted out of olive leaves, along with the other phytochemicals, it works as a very wide spectrum natural antibiotic. Studies have shown that this active ingredient is responsible for the numerous health benefits of olive leaf extract. It has been determined to be part of the olive tree's powerful disease resistant structure. Oleuropein is a powerful antioxidant which boosts the immune system, allowing the body to destroy free radicals and harmful viruses, bacteria and other potentially dangerous cells. The benefits of olive leaf extract to the immune system are well documented - it is very well known as a non –toxic, potent immunity enhancer. Although it’s individual medicinal properties are highly beneficial, if combined with a wide range of other powerful anti oxidants and medicinal herbs the results will be far more effective. So unless you wish to treat a specific condition (short-term), olive leaf extract should be taken as part of a multi nutrient supplement aimed at strengthening all organs and systems in your body (particularly your immune system), while providing anti aging benefits and a host of other ‘wellness benefits’.
This extraordinary herb is very safe to use.There have been not been any reports of adverse reactions or other side effects, except that a few people experience moderate headaches – this is due to a detoxification effect and is not a counteraction to the herb. Few human studies with olive leaf are available. No known studies have been conducted on pregnant or nursing mothers. Therefore if you are pregnant or nursing the best recommendation is to not take this or any other herbal extracts without medical advice. There are no known studies of interactions between olive leaf extract and pharmaceuticals drugs. The disease resistant benefits of olive leaf extract are strong and so it "should not be taken along with antibiotics, additional amino acids or any other mold or fungus derivatives. It is not that they will do you harm, rather Olive leaf extract will see those things as invaders and kill them canceling the positive effect of the extract, instead of working on what's important, healing you".

There are some olive leaf extracts available that work really well and others that do not! So the first thing to check for is that the extract is standardized. Standardization is quickly becoming the industry standard! Standardization guarantees the potency and amount of Oleuropein from batch to batch – which can vary tremendously when herbs are grown and processed. Many supplement companies avoid using standardized extracts because they are considerably more expensive! NOTE: Beware of low quality olive leaf extracts listing the active ingredient as ‘Calcium Elenolate’. Olive leaf does NOT contain ‘Calcium Elenolate’ (which is synthesized in a lab). The supplement company should manufacture its own products and control the manufacturing process through all stages. Stay away from supplement companies who contract out their manufacturing. This is usually where problems begin such as contamination. To guarantee absolute safety, purity, and potency all raw materials must be sourced from GMP registered and audited facilities. All ingredients must have a Certificate of Analysis (COA) on file confirming their purity and potency. The supplement company must test all raw materials prior to manufacture for compliance with certificates of analysis and for microbiological contamination. This ensures your safety To further ensure the highest levels of safety and that ingredient amounts are in accordance with label claims, be sure the manufacturer is GMP compliant at a pharmaceutical level – this is the highest standard possible for the manufacture of nutritional supplements. Only a handful of supplement companies achieve this standard with their manufacturing! Prior to releasing each batch of product a further microbiological analysis must be carried out along with a heavy metal analysis. Be sure the product contains no artificial:
The product should come with a 100% unconditional money back guarantee. The manufacturer must be prepared to stand by their product.
