Introduction to Olive Leaf Extract

Olive leaf extract is a substance extracted from the leaves of the olive tree. Unprocessed leaves contain powerful antioxidant compounds such as oleuropein, hydroxytyrosol and other polyphenols and flavonoids. These active ingredients give olive leaves a bitter and pungent taste.

Functions of olive leaf extract

1. Broad spectrum antibacterial effect

Some amino acid patterns necessary for the growth of a particular virus, bacterium or microorganism; Interfering with viral infection or transmission by inactivating the virus or preventing the virus from molting, germinating or germinating on the cell membrane; Direct penetration into infected cells and irreversible inhibition of microbial replication; Reverse transcriptase and protease products that neutralize reverse transcriptase viruses.

Olive leaf extract has full effect on infectious and malignant microorganisms. It can stop the attack of cold and other viral diseases, fungus, mold and yeast invasion, mild and severe bacterial infection and protoparasite infection. Not only is it preventive, olive leaf extract provides a safe and effective treatment against microorganisms. The study also proved that the extract only attacks pathogens and is harmless to symbiotic intestinal bacteria in human body, which is another advantage over artificial antibiotics.

2. Antioxidation

Oleopicroside can protect skin cells from UV damage, prevent the decomposition of skin membrane lipids by UV, promote the production of collagen protein by fiber cells, reduce the secretion of collagen enzyme by fiber cells, and prevent the anti glycan reaction of cell membrane, so as to highly protect fiber cells, naturally resist the damage of skin caused by oxidation, and avoid UV damage. It can effectively maintain the softness and elasticity of skin, so as to achieve the purpose of strengthening skin The effect of skin rejuvenation.

3. Strengthening the immune system

Some doctors have successfully used olive leaf extract in the treatment of patients with medically unexplained diseases such as chronic fatigue syndrome and myofibrodyne. This may be the result of its direct stimulation of the immune system.

4. Cardiovascular disease

Some cardiovascular diseases also received good response after using olive leaf extract. Coronary heart disease seems to have received a good response after treatment with olive leaf extract. According to laboratory and preliminary clinical studies, olive leaf extract can reduce the discomfort caused by insufficient arterial blood flow, including angina pectoris and intermittent claudication. It helps to eliminate atrial fibrillation (arrhythmia), reduce hypertension and inhibit the production of LDL cholesterol by oxidation.

Application of olive leaf extract

1. Application of olive leaf extract in medicine

It is used to manufacture new drugs for the treatment of diseases caused by viruses, bacteria, protozoa, parasites and blood sucking insects, and new drugs for the treatment of colds.

2. Application of olive leaf extract in health food

In Europe, America and other countries, olive leaf extract is mainly used as a dietary supplement to regulate immunity.

3. Application of olive leaf extract in skin care products

The high content of oleopicroside is mainly used in skin care products, which can protect skin cells from UV damage, effectively maintain skin tenderness and elasticity, and achieve the effect of skin care and rejuvenation. Microherb has a high content of 80% oleopicroside, which is specially designed for skin care products. With high effective ingredients and light color, it is very suitable for cosmetic formula design.

Olive leaf essence applied to skin care products has protective, antioxidant and repairing effects, as follows:

1. Protection - antioxidation - maintain the viability of skin cells

Ultraviolet light can cause the formation of free radicals, which can damage skin cells and even cause cell death in the morning. Suppose that the skin cells are exposed to light, look at the changes of keratinocytes and fibroblasts - some are coated with pure olive leaf extract essence, others are not. After 24 hours, observe the condition of their cells. It is found that the cells coated with pure olive leaf essence are almost intact.

2. Protection antioxidant reaction

Ultraviolet light can also cause the breakdown of lipids in the cell membrane, which is called peroxidation. In addition to the skin fiber cells, some were coated with pure olive leaf essence, while others did not. After that, fluorescence analysis was used to measure the degree of peroxidation of a special substance secreted during decomposition. Experiments have proved that pure olive leaf essence can effectively organize peroxidation, thus highly protecting fiber cells.

3. Repair - promote collagen metabolism - promote collagen synthesis in the process of skin aging, the ability of collagen synthesis gradually decreases, and fiber cells can only produce a small amount of collagen. We measured the promotion of collagen synthesis in the cell culture environment. Some added pure olive leaf essence, while others did not. The amount of proline (an amino acid) was used as an index to measure the newly synthesized collagen. Experiments show that olive leaf essence can significantly promote the production of collagen protein by fibroblasts.

4. Anti glycan reaction glycan reaction is a kind of reaction that occurs in the cell membrane. It will cause collagen reticulation, so that the collagen protein will lose its original elasticity, and the skin will be sunken, that is, wrinkles. This phenomenon increases with age. After 8 days of incubation in 37C tube, the derivative of glycan reaction - formed between lysine and glucose-6-phosphate (ester) enzyme - was tracked by fluorescence analysis. This experiment was also carried out when pure olive leaf essence was added and there was no pure olive leaf essence, which proved its important role in anti glycan reaction.

5.Anti collagenase collagenase is an enzyme produced by fiber cells under the influence of free radicals - under ultraviolet irradiation, keratinocytes will release some information, thus stimulating fiber cells to produce collagenase. Pure olive leaf essence was added to the keratinocyte culture medium and exposed to UVA and UVB. The results showed that pure olive leaf essence could indirectly reduce the secretion of collagenase by inhibiting the "information" production of keratinocytes caused by ultraviolet light.
