Description
Prolive with Antioxidants contains a
standardized extract of olive tree leaves (Olea europaea)
formulated with antioxidants, in tablet form to maintain potency.
Olive leaf possesses a variety of properties which potentially
support balanced intestinal microbiology, circulation and healthy
cholesterol within normal levels.*Olives and olive oil have long
been a staple food in Mediterranean countries, and substances
obtained from parts of the olive tree, including the leaves, have
traditionally been used to support digestive and cardiovascular
health, and for general well-being.* Olive oil is a key component
of the Mediterranean diet, which we now know correlates with a
decreased risk of coronary heart disease. Research suggest that
olive leaf extract may support blood pressure within normal levels,
and vasodilation within normal levels.* Olive leaf can promote the
relaxation of vascular smooth muscles, protect low density
lipoproteins from oxidation, and reduce production of the
prostaglandinthromboxane A2.* In addition to these properties,
olive leaf has antioxidant, diuretic and other properties, which
combine to make olive leaf a potential cardiovascular tonic.*Two
important active ingredients are olive secoiridoides: oleuropein,
the bitter principle of olives, and hydroxytyrosol, which is
considered to be responsible for the high stability of olive oil. A
hydrolyzed form of oleuropein called calcium elenolate is the most
studied component. Both oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol appear to
support aspects of the body’s immune response.* Olive leaf extract
also contains oleuropeoside, a component involved with vasodilator
activity, potentiation of glucose-induced insulin release, and
peripheral uptake of glucose.* Other active constituents are the
secoiridoid compounds oleuroside, ligstroside, demethyloleuropein,
and unconjugated secoiridoid type aldehydes. Olive leaf also
contains quercetin glycosides and kaempferol glycosides.
