Top 5 Benefits of Fresh-Picked Olive Leaf Extract

Olive Trees have one of the most powerful defence systems that enable them to survive incredibly well for centuries and live longer than any other fruit tree on earth.

Used in ancient Egyptian and Mediterranean cultures for its strong medicinal qualities, fresh-picked Olive Leaf Extract is fast becoming one of the most sought after nutritional supplements to support a range of health benefits.

1. Super Powerful Antioxidant - The longevity secret of the Olive Tree is in the range of powerful antioxidants produced in their leaves.

Olive Leaf Australia’s fresh-picked Olive Leaf Extract has 400% more antioxidant power than the equivalent amount of Vitamin C.
 

Research conducted at the Australian Southern Cross University (2000) identified the olive leaf as the most powerful, free-radical scavenging antioxidant of 55 medicinal herbs.

2. Stronger than Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Olive Leaf Australia’s fresh leaf extract delivers a broad range of natural polyphenolic antioxidants.

The concentration of these polyphenols has been shown to be 10 to 30 times greater in olive leaf extract than extra virgin olive oil.

3. Ease Fevers – Since 4000 years ago in Ancient Egyptian times, fresh-picked olive leaf extract has lived on as one of the best immune supporting nutritional supplements, traditionally used to ease fevers.

Science shows it is the potent phenolic compounds in the olive leaves which play an import role in supporting the body’s immunity.

It is the freshly picked olive leaves that capture the broadest spectrum of naturally occurring compounds as opposed to reconstituted extracts.

4. Cardiovascular Health - More recent research has revealed that Olive Leaf Australia’s fresh leaf extract assists in the maintenance of normal heart function and cardiovascular health due to the particularly high levels of polyphenols.

According to the extensive pan-European EurOlive study (2011), Phenolic Olive compounds such as Oleuropein may protect the heart and circulatory system by mobilising an antibody army to attack bad cholesterol.

The study also found that this antibody army was particularly boosted in people who consumed higher levels of polyphenols.

5. Metabolic Syndrome – Olive Leaf Extract is recognised for its ability to maintain blood pressure within a healthy range. Hypertension or high blood pressure is a known risk factor of Metabolic Syndrome, a broad lifestyle-related condition.  A recent study published in The Journal of Nutrition (2010) suggests that olive leaf extract, containing polyphenols such as oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol, may help support cardiovascular function and may prevent the onset of Metabolic Syndrome.

Olive Leaf Australia’s Olive Leaf Extract is unique as they use ONLY fresh-picked Olive Leaves.

The leaves are harvested at sunrise and extraction takes place before noon to ensure the freshest product is bottled. 

Available in Natural Flavour and a delicious Peppermint, Olive Leaf Australia’s fresh leaf extract is easy for the whole family to take.

Olive Leaf Australia’s product range is available at most pharmacies and health food stores nationwide.
