General Information

Common Names of raw material: olea oleaster, olea europaea, olea lancifolia, olea gllaic and olivier.

Latin Names: Olea europaea

Plant Description:

The olive tree is a modest evergreen tree that can grow to heights of 20 feet or even more. It produces many tiny bone-colored flowers and the bark of the tree is a light gray. The olive tree produces a deep purple fruit with a single seed that is just less than 1 inch in length, oval in shape with a pointed head on one end.

Constituents of Olive Leaf

The primary olive leaf constituents are secoiridoids (oleuropein and its derivatives), hydroxytyrosol, polyphenols (verbascoside, apigenin-7-glucoside, and luteolin-7-glucoside), triterpenes including oleanolic acid,  and flavonoids (rutin and diosmin).
Oleuropein is a phenolic compound. Which is the main active ingredient in olive leaf extract

Suggested Properties:

Olive Leaf Extract is an antibacterial, antiviral and antiparasitic substance.

The leaves of the olive tree are both antiseptic (a substance that destroys microorganisms that carry disease without harming body tissues) and astringent (tending to draw together or constrict soft organic tissue). Both the bark and the leaves have important antipyretic qualities, which means they help to lower the body temperature to prevent or give relief from a fever.

Health Benefits of Olive Leaf extract

Hypotensive / Vasodilatory

The hypotensive property of olive leaf extract was first reported in 1951  and confirmed by Italian researchers a decade later. These results spurred numerous in vitro and animal studies on its hypotensive properties. In 1991 researchers at the University of Grenada's School of Pharmacy demonstrated that oleuropein exhibited the vasodilatory properties likely responsible for olive leaf extract 's reported hypotensive action. More recently, two studies demonstrate olive leaf extract suppresses the L-type calcium channel both directly and indirectly, resulting in vasodilation.

Antimicrobial

In 1969 researchers demonstrated olive leaf constituents are powerful in vitro inhibitors of numerous viruses, including parainfluenza, herpes, pseudorabies, and some forms of polio. Nearly every virus studied, including several cold and influenza viruses, was inactivated when exposed to a constituent of olive leaf extract, calcium elenolate. More recently, olive leaf extract was shown to be effective against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), inhibiting its replication via neutralization of reverse transcriptase and protease. Olive leaf also prevents viral infectivity by inhibiting assembly at the cell membrane, interfering with critical amino acid production, and stopping viral shedding.

Olive leaf extract also inhibits many gram-negative and -positive bacteria, yeast, and parasites, including the malaria-causing Plasmodium falciparum. Its antibacterial activity is thought to be via either inactivation of cellular enzymes crucial for bacterial replication or direct attack on the cell membrane resulting in leakage of intracellular components, such as glutamate, potassium, and phosphorus.

Antioxidant / Anti-inflammatory

In 2007, researchers in Australia studying the antioxidant capacity of 55 medicinal herbs found olive leaf extract had the highest radical-scavenging activity of all herbs studied--more than twice that of Camellia sinensis (green tea) and Silybum marianum (milk thistle). Oleuropein has been shown to decrease the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), both in vitro and in rabbits. Olive leaf extract also possesses anti-inflammatory properties (likely attributable to anti-complement activity) and inhibition of platelet aggregation and thromboxane [A.sub.2] production.

Hypoglycemic

The University of Grenada researchers who demonstrated olive leaf's vasodilatory properties also report it has a beneficial effect on blood sugar levels in animals. In rats with alloxan-induced diabetes, doses of 16 and 32 mg/kg decreased blood glucose values significantly and increased peripheral glucose uptake in a dose-dependent manner. Its luteolin and oleanolic acid constituents have also been shown to have an inhibitory effect on postprandial glucose increase in diabetic rats.
