We know that olive oil is good for heart & circulatory health... But the leaf is great too!

Olive leaf has been traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to support healthy heart function and promote overall health and well-being.

Pure, potent olive leaf contains oleuropein, a powerful antioxidant that protects against the oxidation of LDL or "bad" cholesterol.

NSP's Olive Leaf Extract supports cardiovascular health and has antioxidant properties.

Most people know the benefits of olive oil for circulatory health.

Well, olive leaves also have been shown to have powerful, health-boosting benefits!

Olive leaf extract is a concentrated form of the nutrients found in olive leaves. It's a potent source of antioxidant polyphenols, including oleuropein, which helps prevent LDL or “bad” cholesterol from oxidation.

Olive leaf extract supports several circulatory needs all at once, including blood pressure balance, arterial health, heart rhythm, and providing protection against free radicals.

Olive leaf extract is also a great supplement to take throughout the year because it’s been said to support the immune system. Olive leaf extract may help reduce the severity and duration of upper respiratory problems. Research suggests that the active constituent, oleuropein, enhances the immune system's ability to attack and neutralize unwanted foreign bacteria and viral invaders.

Olive leaf extract also supports the urinary and digestive systems.

Olive trees are among the oldest known cultivated trees, spreading throughout the Middle East and the Mediterranean over 6,000 years ago. In fact, some trees have lived over 2,000 years! Before they can bear edible fruit, olive trees must mature, a process that takes between 65 to 80 years.

Olives have been a valuable commodity in many cultures for millennia. Evidence shows that ancient people near the shores of Israel produced olive oil prior to 4,000 BC and that the Minoans had olive gardens in Crete shortly thereafter. We can thank the Spanish conquistadors for bringing olive plants to the lands of Peru. And after they spread to Mexico, olives were brought to California by Franciscan friars.

But what of the leaf itself? Olive leaf's popularity for traditional use might just surprise you.

Records show that the Egyptians used olive leaf in the mummification process. Much more recently, Italians have used tincture of olive leaves traditionally to reduce fevers. In Japan, they do the same for internal complaints. In Tunisian folk medicine, they recommend olive leaves for a variety of mouth, ear and other concerns. The list goes on.

Who knew the uses for the olive tree extended so far beyond the kitchen?
