From the leaves of olive tree, olive leaf  has been used medicinally for thousands of years. Not quite popular as olive oil, the leaf is gaining popularity due to its various therapeutic properties, such as cardioprotective, antiseptic, anti-carcinogenic, antibiotic and anti-aging. Several clinical studies are going on to prove the beneficial effects of olive leaf extract on health.

The clinical properties of olive leaf are due to the presence of oleuropein- an active ingredient that is highly effective against the bacteria, fungi and other micro-organism. Due to its antiseptic properties, it helps in alleviating the symptoms of infectious diseases, such as candidiasis, streptococcal skin infections and other infectious conditions. It improves removal of dead skin cells, and promotes formation of new cells, thus keeping your skin healthy and youthful.

Several animal studies have confirmed that olive leaf extract can lower bad cholesterol levels, eliminate plaque from blood vessels and promote healthy blood flow, thus boosting heart health. Due to its high antioxidant level, it is used to reduce degenerative changes and oxidative damage of brain cells. This makes it useful in prevention of various age related brain disorders such as dementia, Alzheimers etc.

Studies have shown the beneficial effects of oleuropein in treating joint related conditions such as gout, arthrtitis etc. Oleuropein fights inflammation, and reduces uric acid levels in the body, thus alleviating painful symptoms and promoting joint health.
