Our Olive Leaf Extract, in liquid and in capsules, is 100% natural and simply amazing. Obtained from the leaves of the olive tree (Olea europaea), they contain oleuropein, which is the main active principal of the olive tree.
The use of the extract of the tree dates to the early 1800s, when it was used as an effective treatment for malarial infections. According to the 1854 Pharmaceutical Journal of Provincial Transactions, the doctors stated that the properties of the olive tree deserved much more extensive investigation for its medicinal qualities.
Some people experience what is known as Herxheimer’s reaction; this is a detoxification reaction, and not a counteraction to the product. If any of these symptoms should occur—greater fatigue, diarrhea, headaches, muscle/joint aches, or flu-like symptoms—temporarily discontinue taking Olive Leaf Extract or cut back on the amount taken until the body can eliminate the toxic waste. Most individuals experience no such effect.
Adults: Take 16 ml (approx. 1 tbsp.) once daily with food or as directed by your health-care practitioner.
