Olive Leaf Extract benefits date back to the 1800’s, where it was known for assisting malarial infections. A century later it was observed that the olive plant was very resistant to diseases due to the bitter compound of the leaves.
Olive Leaf as a Antioxidant
Australian researchers at the Southern Cross University compared the antioxidant activity of 55 medicinal herbs via three different extraction processes. The antioxidant capacity of the herbs was evaluated using the ORAC assay which stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. The highest antioxidant activity was found in Olive Leaf Extract followed by Black Cohosh, rhubarb, licorice and Virginia Skullcap (1)
Antioxidants provide protection against oxidative damage which is caused by free radicals. Excess production of free radicals (molecules which may attack any part of the cell or tissue) and weakened anti-oxidant defenses may result in a shorter life span, damage to the DNA and oxidation of fats and cholesterol.
Free radicals can be produced by cigarette smoke, toxic chemicals, pollution, excessive exposure to sunlight, excessive exercise, infections and chronic inflammation.
The naturally occurring phenolic compounds in olive leaf extract work in synergy and possess free radical scavenging activity.

PROBIOTICS:
The above ingredients are processed in a probiotic fermentation plant that ultimately changes the structure to create a rich probiotic food.
