Take a leaf out of the Mediterranean book of health with Olive Leaf Extract – a new natural supplement with its roots in ancient healing
Olive trees have extremely powerful defence systems that allow them to live for centuries. Some varieties even live for over 1000 years, surviving pests, viruses, bacteria droughts and extremes of heat and cold. Since the days of ancient Egypt healers have used olive leaves and modern scientific studies are continuing to reveal that the ‘defence’ compounds in the leaves of the olive tree have the potential to enhance human health too.
Olive Leaf Australia has built on this long tradition with Olive Leaf Extract – a 100 per cent natural daily health supplement designed to support your body’s natural defenses with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects. Antioxidants are substances that protect cells against the damage caused by free radicals – molecules that are produced during normal metabolism and when your body is exposed to poor diet, pollution, tobacco smoke or excessive sunlight – all common hazards of the modern lifestyle. Fresh-picked Olive leaf Extract contains over 30 times more antioxidants than extra-virgin oilve oils and is 400 per cent more powerful than vitamin C.
What’s more, Olive Leaf Extract contains up to 100 naturally occuring compounds including oleuropein, which is the best known and most studied olive leaf antioxidant. As well as its antioxidant effect, some studies have shown that oleuropein may have a role in promoting relaxation of the arterial walls and providing general cardiovascular support.
Users are reporting benefits such as more energy, support for active joint health and recovery from winter ailments.
Since its launch in Australia over five years ago, fresh-picked Olive Leaf Extract has become one of Australia’s most sought after natural health supplements. Olive Leaf Australia’s extract is available in 100mL, 200mL and 500mL sizes. Choose between two flavours – original and peppermint. Mixed berry flavour is also available in a children’s formula.
Olive Leaf Australia’s trees are grown near Brisbane QLD in the world’s largest specialised olive leaf grove – it has 550,000 trees. Because studies have shown the health giving compounds are more potent when olive leaves are fresh, Olive Leaf Australia’s leaves are harvested at sunrise to ensure only the freshest and best are selected. As well as meeting the strictest health regulations, the extraction, purification and storage processes make sure all the vital ingredients stay ‘alive’.
