Sure, we’ve all heard of eating olives, but we in the western world aren’t that familiar with the long-established benefits of eating olive leaves.

The practice, though, goes way back to ancient Egypt, and olive leaves have long been part of the diet of Mediterranean peoples.

OLIVE LEAVES ARE PACKED WITH NUTRIENTS

According to Jonny Bowden, PhD, olive leaf researcher:

“Olive leaf complex is a rich source of some of the most important phenolic compounds on earth, such as oleuropein, hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol, rutin, luteolin, catechin and apigenin, which are believed to be responsible for most of the leaf ’s pharmacological effects.

Olive leaf complex also contains various trace elements vital to good health such as selenium, chromium, iron, zinc, vitamin C, beta-carotene and a wide range of amino acids.

Olive leaf complex is a concentrated source of antioxidant power that may just be one of your best weapons against aging and disease.”

Clinician Dr. Ronald Hoffman, writes:

“rom research and clinical experience to date, we can say that supplemental olive leaf may be beneficial in the treatment for conditions caused by, or associated with, a virus, retrovirus, bacterium or protozoan. Among those treatable conditions are: influenza, the common cold, candida infections, meningitis, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), encephalitis, herpes I and II, human herpes virus 6 and 7, shingles (Herpes zoster), HIV/ARC/AIDS, chronic fatigue, hepatitis B, pneumonia, tuberculosis, gonorrhea, malaria, dengue, severe diarrhea, and dental, ear, urinary tract and surgical infections.”

Olive leaf extract is a key ingredient in Ultimate Defense.
