Description
About Olive Leaf Extract A Mediterranean formula with triple action against cholesterol and blood triglycerides √ Naturally designed from olive leaves ( Olea Europaea ) √ Exceptional oleuropein content (125 mg standardised to 32%) √ Patented and supported by clinical studies √ Contributes to lowering LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels √ Fights lipid oxidation in blood vessels Olive Leaf Extract is a natural formula produced from olive leaves and designed to control lipidaemia. It is supported by three clinical studies that demonstrated its ability to lower LDL cholesterol and blood triglyceride levels, increase HDL cholesterol levels and fight lipid oxidation. What is the supplement Olive Leaf Extract made of? The beneficial effects of the olive tree are attributed to its exceptional richness in phenolic compounds, molecules known for their powerful antioxidant properties. In the olive tree, these compounds are involved in defence mechanisms against predation by insects, infections, multiple microbial attacks and UV radiation, but they also display biological activity when ingested by humans. They are known to reduce the risk of a number of conditions, notably by counteracting free radicals and favourably modifying enzymatic balances. In the olive tree, oleuropein is the most abundant phenolic compound (around 25% of the extract). It is responsible for the characteristic bitterness of extra virgin olive oil, but there are many others, also found in Olive Leaf Extract : apigenin, caffeic acid, catechins, coumaric acid, diosmetin, ferulic acid, gallic acid, hesperidin, hydroxytyrosol, luteolin, oleoside, quercetin, rutin, tyrosol, vanillin, verbascoside… Since the therapeutic value of olive leaves has been correlated with their oleuropein content, Olive Leaf Extract was designed to contain a maximum amount of oleuropein. What are the mechanisms of action of Olive Leaf Extract ? Three precise mechanisms of action explain most of the effects of Olive Leaf Extract on the cardiovascular system: √ the cholesterol-lowering action : The polyphenols in olive, and in particular oleuropein, act on cholesterol excretion. They promote the elimination of excess cholesterol via the biliary tract, then via duodenal discharge and finally via the faeces. √ the antioxidant action : The antioxidant potential of oleuropein is exceptional. A diet enriched with oleuropein extract and its derivatives for 6 weeks improved antioxidant capacity in institutionalised elderly people. It is a natural solution for combating oxidative stress and inhibiting LDL oxidation. √ the action on sugar absorption : By binding to sucrase and maltase, two enzymes involved in digestion, oleuropein opposes sugar absorption and thereby reduces the glucose spike. It also contributes to this by slowing the activity of the sugar transporter, GLUT2.
