2-pack value set: Olive leaf extract - 650 mg per daily dose (1 capsule) - 2 x 180 capsules - from Unimedica

The secret power of the olive tree

Not only the fruit of the olive tree and the oil derived from it are valuable foods and aids for a healthy lifestyle. This tree has another hidden power used in naturopathy: the olive leaf. Olive leaves can be brewed into a tea, or an extract can be produced from the leaves in which the valuable active ingredients are highly concentrated.

Olive leaf extract is also the active ingredient of the olive leaf extract capsules from Unimedica. Each capsule contains 650 mg of it, encased in cellulose, a plant-derived material. Therefore Unimedica's olive leaf extract capsules are well suited to vegetarian and vegan diets.

What makes olive leaf extract special?

Unimedica's olive leaf extract capsules contain 20% oleuropein. This is a polyphenol found in the fruits, the olives, but also in all other plant parts of the olive tree. The plant compound oleuropein is most highly concentrated in the leaves.

The olive leaf extract for Unimedica's capsules is extracted directly within a few hours from the freshly picked leaves of the olive tree (Olea europea). This preserves the valuable constituents, such as the numerous polyphenols. Polyphenols are plant compounds that, among other things, protect the olive tree from environmental influences and help ensure its wellbeing from within. The leaves for our olive leaf extract come from very old, untreated olive trees.

Other sources of oleuropein

Apart from olive leaf extract, oleuropein is also present in olive oil and in the olives themselves. These can be consumed as part of a balanced diet, but the concentration of oleuropein in them is lower than in the leaves. Thus supplementation with a high-strength olive leaf extract is recommended to noticeably benefit from the advantages of this potent plant compound.

Each container contains 180 capsules — a six-month supply.
