Olive leaf extract is derived from the leaves of the olive plant, a medicinal herb used therapeutically for centuries. Scientists have found that oleuropein, the active compound in olive leaf extract, can effectively lower bad cholesterol and blood pressure and fight disease-causing microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa. High in antioxidants, it is known to boost the immune system. In addition, the extract can be used topically to combat eczema and acne, rehydrate dry skin, and reduce skin damage caused by UVB radiation. Along with discovering all of the health-promoting benefits of olive leaf extract, you'll receive expert advice on the different types of olive leaf products available (capsules, powder, tinctures, teas), what to look for, and their best use.
