How does olive leaf benefit women’s health?

  • Antioxidant – Olive leaf has exerted deposition of calcium ions in osteoblastic (bone build up) cells and inhibit osteoclastic (bone break down) cells. Studies suggest a potential protective effect of oleuropein in osteoporosis.  
    A study of premenopausal and postmenopausal women received 250mg of olive leaf extract, blood samples were taken and ferric reducing antioxidant ability, and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were measured in plasma. MDA is a frequently used biomarker of oxidative stress in many health conditions. Results from the study suggest that postmenopausal women could be a beneficial target for the intake of olive phenolics to prevent age-related and oxidative stress-related processes such as osteoporosis 8.  
  • Glycaemic effects – Supplementation with olive leaf has shown benefits of improved glucose homeostasis. A study on male and female type 2 diabetics were given 500mg of supplemental olive leaf extract or a placebo for 14 weeks. The study concluded that there was a significant reduction in fasted HbA1c (a measure of blood sugar) in the group treated with 500mg olive leaf extract 9.  
  • Cardio protective – Olive leaf contains an important active compound known as oleuropein, which has been shown to decrease blood pressure and dilate the coronary arteries surrounding the heart. This active compound has also been shown to inhibit the oxidation of LDL cholesterol.
