1. It fights free radicals

Free radicals are nasty unstable molecules that can accumulate in your body and accelerate health problems. Research has shown fresh picked olive leaf extract acts like a free-radical scavenger and was also shown in a study to have the highest free-radical scavenging ability out of 55 common medicinal herbs[i]. Free radicals may be the cause of inflammation and a weaker immune system, so the more fighting power you’ve got, the better.

2. Immune support

If you are often being ravaged by cold and flu, chances are your immunity isn’t in the best shape it could be. Olive leaf extract is one of the most powerful antioxidants available. Olive Leaf Extract can support general wellbeing and has been traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to support immunity.

Always read the label. Follow the directions for use.
