Olive leaf (Olea europaea) contains oleuropein as its primary bioactive compound — an iridoid glycoside that accounts for much of olive's health-promoting activity beyond the fruit itself. Oleuropein hydrolyzes in the body to hydroxytyrosol and elenolic acid, which are among the most potent naturally-occurring antioxidants identified. Mechanistically, oleuropein inhibits ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme), supporting healthy blood pressure; has demonstrated in vitro activity against a broad range of viruses and bacteria; and stimulates phagocytic activity in immune cells. The cardiovascular benefits of the Mediterranean diet are partly attributed to oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol from olive consumption. Herb Pharm extracts certified organic olive leaf from freshly harvested leaves using traditional alcohol extraction to capture the full oleuropein content.
