Olive Leaf Extract Early last century, a bitter compound from the olive leaf called oleuropein was isolated and determined to be part of the olive trees health giving properties. According to those early scientists, this is the compound that helps protect the tree against insect and bacterial predators. Oleuropein is present throughout the olive tree and is the bitter material that is eliminated from the olives when they are cured.

What is more, the Europeans found it helps to support the bodys defenses and to promote healing and recovery from winter ills and chills. Click on the link below for more information...
