Comvita Olive leaf extract liquid • 500 ml

Comvita Olive Leaf Pressed Juice (extract) is made from freshly picked Australian olive tree leaves using a gentle process. Comvita’s fresh leaf extract production system releases 11 other naturally occurring phenols in addition to oleuropein. Working together, these achieve a more effective result than oleuropein alone. [01.] 

Around the Mediterranean Sea, olive trees more than 2,000 years old still live today. Olive trees owe such longevity to the special substances they contain, which provide the plant with strong, long-term protection against bacteria, fungi, and harsh weather conditions.

Among other things, they contain a large amount of the polyphenol antioxidant called oleuropein, as well as chromium, selenium, zinc, iron, beta-carotene, vitamin C, and vitamin E.[02.]

The effect of olive leaf against pathogens

Olive leaf pressed juice initiates 2 different processes in the human body:

1. it enhances phagocytosis, the process by which immune cells engulf and then destroy pathogens
2. it weakens the ability of viruses and bacteria to reproduce, thereby limiting the spread of infection.

The pressed juice extracted from olive leaves can significantly support immune system function and protection against bacteria and viruses. Olive leaf may also be very helpful in treating upper respiratory problems and illnesses accompanied by fever.

The results of numerous laboratory studies support that oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol, found in nature only in olive leaves, are primarily responsible for its antibacterial and antiviral effects.

Experience shows that Olive Leaf Extract helps prevent colds and influenza, and helps overcome them more quickly. It has also been found effective in frequently occurring fungal infections such as Candida, nail and foot fungus, and oral thrush.

Oleuropein is an antibacterial active ingredient that can selectively destroy harmful bacteria without damaging beneficial gut bacteria. In addition, it can prevent infectious pathogens from developing resistance to it or reproducing, as it damages the cell membranes of these bacteria and viruses.

Olive leaf extract has proven effective against both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria.

Scientists at Israel’s Rappaport Faculty of Medicine found olive leaf extract effective against Salmonella, E. coli bacteria, and Candida infection as well. [03.]

10 conditions for which we recommend the use of Comvita olive leaf

These 5 problems are especially helped by taking olive leaf extract

Comvita olive leaf has been commercially available for more than 40 years, and tens of thousands of people on all 5 continents consume and use it for a wide variety of problems. Based on the more than several hundred thousand experience reports so far, it is most effective for the following 7 problems:

1. Reducing oxidized LDL:

LDL cholesterol becomes dangerous in our body when it oxidizes. The consequences of this process include atherosclerosis, narrowing of the arteries, high blood pressure, and stroke. Olive leaf extract increases glutathione peroxidase levels in our body, which can effectively contribute to LDL cholesterol being less oxidized in the blood, thereby reducing the risk of developing most cardiovascular diseases.

2. High blood pressure:

The oleuropein in olive leaf has a natural blood-pressure-lowering effect. First in animal experiments, and then in countless human clinical studies, the preventive and regulating effects of oleuropein on high blood pressure were proven. [04.]

Furthermore, in addition to the decrease in blood pressure, it has been confirmed that blood flow efficiency also improves in the coronary arteries of the heart.

Oleuropein, which is abundant in olive leaf extract, strongly supports the blood supply to the heart, dilates the coronary arteries, eliminates heart rhythm disorders, and also has a significant antispasmodic effect. Olive leaf mainly plays a role in the prevention of vascular diseases and heart attacks.

Oleuropein is an extremely reactive substance, meaning it can transform into a whole range of other substances, such as dihydroxyphenylethanol (DPE), which is also an important contributor to the positive effects of olive leaf.

Olive leaf extract does not cause high cholesterol levels because it contains the good cholesterol for the body, i.e. HDL cholesterol.

3. Lung infections:

Olive leaf extract can be very helpful in preventing and relieving inflammatory allergic complaints, asthma attacks, and upper respiratory infections.

This is mainly due to olive leaf’s ability to improve the immune response, as well as its anti-inflammatory active compounds, such as oleuropein present in olive leaves. [05.]

4. Diabetes, prediabetes:

The polyphenol compounds in olive leaf increase insulin sensitivity, meaning they help insulin work better in our body, which is beneficial both for people with diabetes and for those who consume considerably more carbohydrates than their body can handle. Olive leaf also reduces glucose levels in the blood. [06.]

5. Influenza, colds:

Experience shows that Olive Leaf Extract helps prevent colds and influenza, and helps overcome them more quickly. Many consumers of Olive Leaf Extract report an improvement in general well-being and increased energy reserves.

The properties of Comvita olive leaf

General immune strengthening with olive leaf

Olive leaf extract shows broad antibacterial effects, as it is capable of destroying numerous bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. At the same time, it also stimulates the functioning of the immune system. Moreover, olive leaf extract neutralizes only pathogenic microorganisms—those harmful to us—and does not damage beneficial bacteria, which are key to the proper functioning of immunity and defense mechanisms.

Olive leaf extract initiates 2 different processes in our body:

• it stimulates phagocytosis, the process by which immune cells engulf and destroy pathogens;
• and it inhibits the ability of viruses and bacteria to reproduce, thus preventing the further spread of infection.

With its strong antioxidant effect, olive leaf extract successfully neutralizes free radicals in the body. This is especially important for improving immunity because the task of neutralizing free radicals can greatly burden the immune system; therefore, if it has to deal with this less, it can devote far more capacity to fighting various viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens. [07.],

Thus, it will be able, for example, to more effectively prevent and combat a cold or flu infection.

By consuming olive leaf extract, you can do a lot to support immune system function and to quickly and effectively relieve the symptoms of numerous bacterial and viral infections. Olive leaf is exceptionally effective in relieving illnesses accompanied by fever, and in cases of upper respiratory problems and chronic colds it can greatly help increase the defensive capacity of an overburdened immune system.

Perhaps you also know well that approximately 70–80% of our immune system is located in the intestinal tract, thanks to the beneficial activity of the good bacteria living there, i.e. probiotics. However, if pathogenic, harmful bacteria become dominant in the gut flora, this significantly weakens the immunity of the entire body.

Olive leaf extract can act effectively against a great many harmful microorganisms while leaving beneficial gut bacteria intact, allowing them to multiply more easily and quickly in the intestinal tract.

Olive leaf can be consumed regularly, but even 2–3 courses per year can greatly strengthen immunity and the body’s resistance.
