Olive Leaf Extract is an extraordinary 100% natural herbal antibacterial extract. It is obtained from specific parts of the olive tree called Olea europaea. The olive tree has been exceptionally generous to mankind. It has been documented for thousands of years and in bible, at the very end of the New Testament, there is an angelic vision of a "tree of life" whose leaves "were for the healing of the nations."
How it works?
Results to date indicate that olive leaf extract is not only safe but it can also support and strengthen our immune system by interfering the pathogen’s amino acid properties. This prevents the pathogens from reproducing and creating more microbes within the body. It has been seen as a good weapon against the common cold, flu or upper respiratory tract related problems and may be other infectious diseases.
The active ingredient oleuropein, found throughout the tree is the same bitter substance that is removed from green olives when they are processed. Its antioxidant properties may support normal cholesterol levels and cardiovascular health.
