Comvita Olive Leaf Extract: How hydroxytyrosol can support your Health & Wellness
Over 50 Years of Belief in Food as Medicine
For over five decades, Comvita has held the belief that nature provides some incredible remedies for both preventative and curative care through the philosophy of food as medicine.
Among our natural wellness offerings is the Comvita Olive Leaf Extract range.
Containing some of the most important phenolic compounds found in nature, including oleuropein, hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol, rutin, luteolin, catechin, and apigenin; Comvita Olive Leaf Extract is a concentrated source of antioxidants.
The benefits of phenolic compounds in Olive Leaf Extract
Phenolic compounds like oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol are valued for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These natural compounds may help protect against free radical damage, reduce inflammation, and support long-term health by potentially lowering the risk of chronic conditions such as heart disease and/or diabetes.
Oleuropein: The hero compound in Comvita Olive Leaf Extract
At Comvita, oleuropein is our main active polyphenol . Our unique extraction process is designed to retain the highest possible levels of this beneficial compound. In fact, oleuropein levels are a key indicator of freshness. To preserve the freshness of our leaves, we harvest fresh daily from our own olive grove. Extraction occurs within hours of harvesting which prevents degradation of the leaf and locks in the naturally occurring polyphenols. Each batch of our Olive Leaf Extract is tested to measure the levels of oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol in our Olive Leaf Extract to ensure the same high levels are consistently achieved in our products.
Hydroxytyrosol in Olive Leaf Extract
In the body, oleuropein is broken down by enzymes and the gut microbiota to produce hydroxytyrosol, one of the potent antioxidants found in nature. This makes products rich in oleuropein, like Comvita’s Olive Leaf Extract, an ideal choice for those seeking daily support for health and wellness.
