Phytochemicals, offering antioxidant protection! What is Olive Leaf Extract?
Olive leaf extract (Olea Europea) is derived from the leathery green leaves of
the olive tree, also known as the “tree of life,” native to Asia Minor and
Syria and cultivated in Mediterranean countries today. Olive tree leaves were
traditionally boiled and the liquid was used for therapeutic remedies. Olive
leaf extract is a source of phytochemicals (plant-based enzymes), including
oleuropein, which is broken down into elenolic acid (in the form of calcium
elenolate, a calcium salt). Elenolic acid is believed to have health-
benefiting properties. How does Vitacost Olive Leaf Extract support health?
