The Benefits of Olive Leaf Extract
The Mediterranean diet has become a go to for many people because of it’s potential to prevent chronic diseases. Lower rates of illness and cancer related deaths are found in populations that stick to the Mediterranean diet. Research shows many of these positive effects stem from the olive leaf.
Nutrients of olive tree leaves are concentrated into olive leaf extract making it a potent source of antioxidants known as polyphenols that support your immune system. A powerful polyphenol called oleuropein, a potent anti-viral, is thought to be the source for many of the benefits of the Mediterranean diet.
Some of the notable benefits of Olive Leaf Extract are:
- Immune System Support & Anti-Viral Effects
- Healthy Blood Pressure & Cholesterol Support
- Blood Sugar Support
- Cardioprotective Effects
- Powerful Antioxidant
- Anti-Inflammatory
- Cancer Prevention
- Support Neuroprotective functions
These benefits occur because of oleuropein’s ability to reduce inflammation. Many chronic diseases start with chronic inflammation and end in things like cancer, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and autoimmune and neurodegenerative disorders.
Beneficial compounds in Olive Leaf extract have been shown to help lower blood pressure by reducing oxidative stress and helping to improve mitochondrial function. Olive leaf also contains hydroxytyrosol, a phenolic compound that has been shown to have beneficial cardioprotective effects including the protection of cardiac cells from premature cellular death.
Boomer Products Olive Leaf Extract 750 mg capsules are standardized to 20% oleuropein content for health and wellness support. Many other brands contain between 250mg to 500mg of Olive Leaf Extract standardized to contain between 10-15% oleuropein.
Despite the many benefits of oleuropein, considerations about detrimental effects in certain individuals should not be neglected. Oleuropein may exacerbate low blood pressure in individuals who already have low blood pressure. Oleuropein could also interact with other pharmaceutical drugs that are designed to lower blood pressure or regulate diabetes. Patients should consult their physician before use.
@Debbie So gingko and omegas tend to increase blood flow and lower blood pressure naturally, Olive leaf is similar in it’s ability to lower blood pressure so be careful not to take too many supplements with this effect. If you need a memory supplement we have one that helps increase blood flow and nutrients to the brain to help increase focus and concentration called Clarity Factor, Here is the Link: https://boomerboost.com/collections/individual-products/products/clarity-factor
Also we carry NeuroFuel which works a little differently than Clarity Factor it increases C Amp in the brain to help memory function. Here is the link for that: https://boomerboost.com/products/ciltep
