Introduction:
The Olive (Olea europaea, meaning "Oil from/of Europe") is a species of small tree in the family Oleaceae, native to the coastal areas of the eastern Mediterranean Basin as well as northern Iraq, and northern Iran at the south of the Caspian Sea.
Olive leaf extracts is best known for their blood pressure-lowering effects, but the latest studies reveal their health benefits extend well beyond that. Additional anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties offer promise in fighting atherosclerosis, diabetes, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and even arthritis.
Oleuropein and its metabolite hydroxytyrosol have powerful antioxidant activity both in vivo and in vitro and give extra-virgin olive oil its bitter, pungent taste. Oleuropein preparations have been claimed for several pharmacological effects among them strengthening of the immune system. A study in rats suggests oleuropein enhances thermogenesis by increasing the thermogenin content in brown adipose tissue and the secretion of noradrenaline and adrenaline.
Hydroxytyrosol is a phenylethanoid, a type of phenolic phytochemical with antioxidant properties. After gallic acid, hydroxytyrosol is believed to be one of the most powerful antioxidants. Its oxygen radical absorbance capacity is 40,000 umolTE/g, which is ten times higher than that of green tea, and two times higher than that of CoQ10.

Function and Usage:
1. Antioxidants work by "soaking up" free radicals; free radicals are created as a result of the millions of chemical reactions that happen in our bodies all day, every day, that produce our energy, and keep our systems moving. These free radicals crash about inside our cells and can cause huge amounts of damage.
2. As well as helping keep your heart healthy, and cancer at bay, olive leaf extract also seems to be a formidable opponent to viruses. This is because it contains oleuropein, a chemical also found in olive oil that gives it its slightly bitter taste.
3. Oleuropein is able to stop viruses in their tracks, by neutralizing the enzymes that are vital for the virus to replicate itself and spread. Although research is ongoing, olive leaf extract may one day be an important weapon in the fight against devastating viruses like meningitis and AIDS.
4. Olive leaf extract also has the ability to dissolve nasty bacteria and fungi, like the candida fungus that causes thrush; olive leaf extract is actually recommended in the candida diet, which attempts to both starve the fungus of nutrients, and breakdown the microbes, so your immune system can tackle the problem more easily.
