What is Olive Leaf Extract?
The olive tree (Olea europaea) is a small evergreen tree that is native to the Mediterranean region, but different varieties are now grown in many parts of the world. Olive leaf has been used as a botanical agent for thousands of years in many countries to help overcome a wide variety of health concerns, especially immune system and heart concerns. But only in recent times has a high potency, solvent-free olive extract been available.
In recent years, the health of the Mediterranean people and their distinctive diet which includes various olive tree derivatives (i.e. olives, olive oil, and olive leaves) has been studied and yielded much favorable research. As part of this research, there is an increasing amount of evidence concerning the many varied, proven health benefits of olive leaf extract.

Benefits of Olive Leaf Extract
Worldwide research has shown Olive Leaf Extract to be one of the most powerful immune boosters. A key active ingredient of the plant is called oleuropein, a special phytochemical naturally present in olive leaves. One of the most significant benefits of the Olive Leaf Extract is the ability of its special phytonutrient synergy to interrupt the replication of many pathogens. It does not actually kill the pathogens, but renders them unable to reproduce.
In addition, studies of Olive Leaf Extract have shown tremendous benefits for promoting healthy blood pressure, smooth blood flow, and encouraging overall cardiovascular health. Anectodal benefits of olive leaf extract also include help for skin concerns, fatigue, lungs, kidneys and much more.
Why We Do Not Use Standardized Herbal Olive Leaf Extract.
Standardized extracts are typically solvent-extracted, often with methylene chloride, a widely used but toxic solvent. Consuming sovent residues (often left behind in the plant material) can have both short and long-term ill health effects, including brain, liver and kidney damage.
Although standardized extracts are designed to concentrate the highest amount of the active ingredient, in the true science of herbology, each herb is seen as an interactive symphony of all its various components-- therefore, there is no one active factor and thus, there is no one active factor to concentrate. Various research studies have shown that standardized extracts are not superior-- and sometimes the solvent extraction process can damage phytonutrients.
The most effective approach is obvious: use "beyond organic" premier quality herbs (i.e. the right species, fed with the best plant nutrients without toxic pesitcides, harvested and stored properly.) The active factors naturally present within the plant are already at their highest potency. Why bother to concentrate the so-called active factor from poorly grown plants? You will never be able to achieve the full benefits as the original, premier quality herbs.
