Olive leaf extract

Olive leaf extract was used for therapeutic purposes before 1000 BC. In that era, it was used to prepare a variety of different foods, especially in the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions. The data showed that residents of these regions whose diets included olive leaves had fewer heart attacks. Now olive leaf extract is widely used in medical, beauty, and health care fields.

Olive leaf extract is widely used due to these benefits:

1. Antioxidant

Oleuropein in olive leaf extract is an important antioxidant active ingredient in olive leaves. Oleuropein can naturally resist the damage to the skin caused by oxidation and is also protected from UV rays, effectively maintaining skin tenderness and elasticity, and achieving the effect of skincare. 

2. Antibacterial

Oleuropein and tyrosol isolated from olive leaves have a wide range of antibacterial activities. Studies have shown that oleuropein and tyrosol have inhibitory effects on 5 standard ATCC strains and 44 clinically isolated strains.

3. Hypoglycemic

Olive leaf extract has a significant curative effect in lowering blood sugar and anti-hypertension, can improve the body's sensitivity to insulin, and eliminate the resistance of tissue cells to insulin.
