The Olive Wellness Institute is hosting the fourth in its series of webinars in early June, this time covering the evidence around olive leaf extract and immunity.
As its name suggests, olive leaf extract (OLE) is a nutritional supplement derived from the olive leaf. It contains a wide variety of bioactive compounds, which work synergistically to produce a health and wellness tonic delivering a multitude of therapeutic actions.
Research around OLE pertains largely to the two major biophenols found in the olive leaf, oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol, with immunity activity among the most widely documented benefits.
Presented by Associate Professor Teresa Mitchell-Paterson, the webinar will give the audience an overview of the current scientific and practical evidence surrounding the use of olive leaf extract for immunity.
