Detailed description
The olive tree, Olea europaea, an emblematic tree of Mediterranean regions, has been cultivated for millennia for its fruit and leaves. The latter, rich in bioactive compounds, are traditionally used for their contribution to general well-being and cardiovascular health.
Olive leaves contain polyphenols, including oleuropein, a major compound recognized for its antioxidant properties. They also contain flavonoids, triterpenes and phenolic acids, which help protect cells against oxidative stress and contribute to a balanced metabolism.
Traditionally, olive leaves are used to maintain normal blood pressure, regulate blood lipid and glucose levels, and support immune function. They are also valued for their protective effect on the vascular system and their role in improving metabolic parameters.
Modern studies highlight the potential of olive leaf extracts to support intestinal health.
