How It Works:
Most people know the benefits of olive oil for circulatory health. But NSP's Olive Leaf Extract appears to support several circulatory needs all at once, including blood pressure balance, arterial health, heart rhythm and providing free radical protection. Oleuropein, a key constituent, is thought to prevent LDL or "bad" cholesterol from oxidation.
Ingredients:
Olive leaf extract, standardized to 12 percent oleuropein.
Recommended Use:
Take 1-3 capsules daily with a meal.
Olive has been a valuable commodity in many cultures for millennia. Evidence shows that ancient people near the shores of Israel produced olive oil prior to 4,000 BC and that the Minoans had olive gardens in Crete shortly thereafter. We can thank the Spanish conquistadors for bringing olive plants to the lands of Peru. After they spread to Mexico, olives were brought to California by Franciscan friars. But what of the leaf itself? Its popularity for traditional use might just surprise you. Records show that the Egyptians used olive leaf in the mummification process. Much more recently, Italians have used tincture of olive leaves traditionally to reduce fevers. In Japan, they do the same for internal complaints. In Tunisian folk medicine, they recommend olive leaves for a variety of mouth, ear and other concerns.
