What is Olive Leaf Extract?
Olive Leaf Extract is an extraordinary 100% natural herbal antibacterial, antiviral extract. Obtained from specific parts of the olive tree (Olea europaea), this new proprietary phytochemical extract is not only safe, but is also a nontoxic immune system builder. The olive tree is a small evergreen tree, with a slim trunk covered with greyish bark. It is native to the Mediterranean, (except Egypt), but it has been introduced and widely cultivated in warm climates around the world. The parts used are leaves, fruit and bark. However the most popular supplement part is the leaves. Olive leaf is an astringent. The word astringent comes from latin and it means "to bind". This term is given to any chemical, (natural or man-made) that tends to shrink or constrict the tissues in an area of the body. This can be very useful internally and externally. For example, olive oil is sometime applied to burns to help with the regenerative processes in the body. Olive leaf extracts can be a powerful health tonic to destroy bacteria and boost immunity. According to the study done by the scientists from Rappaport Faculty of Medicine, Israel, olive leaves practically kill almost all bacteria, including Candida albicans and E coli. Research that followed the Israel study also favored the same results underscoring olive leaf’s potential as an immune booster.

Olive Leaf Extract Lower Blood Pressure:
Olive leaf extract may lower blood pressure as effectively as some medications. A study published in the February 2011 issue of the journal "Phytomedicine" found that eight weeks of supplementation with 500 milligrams of olive leaf extract twice per day lowered systolic blood pressure the upper number in the blood pressure ratio, signifying pressure in the arteries during heart contraction 83 percent as effectively as a common blood pressure medication. Olive oil extract reduced diastolic pressure the lower number of the blood pressure ratio, signifying pressure in the arteries during heart relaxation 75 percent as effectively as the drug. Additionally, olive leaf extract offered a cholesterol lowering benefit, which can also decrease blood pressure by helping to prevent artery-narrowing plaque formation.
Brain Benefits of Olive Leaf Extract:
Brain protective benefits of olive leaf extract were demonstrated in a laboratory. Study published in the January 2011 issue of the journal "Phytomedicine." In the study, olive leaf extract prevented brain injury following periods of reduced oxygen supply. The herbal supplement decreased the area of affected brain tissue, reduced brain swelling and improved the blood-brain barrier the selective filter that helps the brain maintain a healthy environment. Researchers also noted improved scores on neurologic function tests with olive leaf extract supplementation.
Anti Bacterial Benefits of Olive Leaf Extract:
Oleuropein is the active ingredient in olive leaves and the reason why the olive leaf helps fight off the bad bacteria and protect the body’s beneficial bacteria. Microbes that can cause the flu and other upper respiratory infections are destroyed by this chief compound.
Builds Bone Benefits of Olive Leaf Extract:
Oleuropein is believed to also help the body increase the rate of osteoblasts, which are the cells responsible for bone growth. This helps us keep our bone mass as we age, which is especially important for women.
Fat burner Benefits of Olive Leaf Extract:
Oleuropein is also shown to increase the body’s level of thermogenin, a substance that allows our bodies to burn fat more easily. It also has shown to increase the thyroid hormone and adrenaline and helps improve digestion.
Supports Immune Function Benefits of Olive Leaf Extract:
Olive Leaf Extract also has energy and immune system boosting qualities greatly increase the body’s natural ability to resist illness which prevents you from getting sick in the first place.
How Does Olive Leaf Extract Works?
Oleuropein, the key nutrient, is most concentrated in the leaves than any other part of the plant. Olive leaves are rich in phytonutrients and antioxidants, of which – oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol are bioactive. Other bitter phytonutrient compounds in olive leaves – caffeic acid and verbascoside – work together to resist bacterial damage. According to laboratory tests, calcium elenolate (derived from oleuropein) kills viruses by interfering with certain amino acid production processes. This interference prevents virus shedding, budding or assembly at the cell membrane. Studies suggest that this compound has the ability to penetrate infected host cells and irreversibly inhibit viral replication. In retroviruses, this compound neutralizes the production of the reverse transcriptase enzyme and is believed to also neutralize the protease enzyme as well. Researchers in Europe investigated the properties of oleuropein and suggested that it inactivated bacteria by dissolving the outer lining of the microbes. More recent studies of oleuropein show that it seems to protect low density lipoprotein from oxidation, thus reducing the LDL (the bad cholesterol). Another research study in France remarks that Olea europaea leaf extracts show extremely high antioxidative qualities. The new Olive Leaf Extract extract not only confirms the earlier test finding (less the serum binding problem), but seems to show itself as an immune system builder by directly stimulating phagocyte production (phogocytosis). It also contains natural flavinoids and esters that create a structural complex that infectious microorganisms may not readily develop a resistance to. Biochemists have determined that the extract has multiple iridoids and that the synergy of them working together is the reason for the wide spectrum effect.
