Olive Leaf Liquid Phyto-Caps
Support for Healthy Immune Function*
60 Liquid-filled Capsules • 100% Vegetarian
Description of Formula
OLIVE AND THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
Several scientific investigations have examined the constituents of olive
leaves. One constituent that has received considerable attention is called
oleuropein. First isolated in 1908, oleuropein enhances immune system
function and offers antioxidant protection. *
OLIVE AND THE HEART
Fittingly, olive leaf's antioxidant properties may have a beneficial effect
on cholesterol metabolism by protecting cholesterol from the damaging
effects of free radicals. In addition to encouraging healthy cholesterol
balance, this leaf may also play a role in maintaining normal blood pressure
within a healthy range, assisting in maintaining healthy blood, and
encouraging the normal flow of blood through the heart vessels.
Collectively, the actions of this leaf serve to promote optimal levels of
cholesterol in the body and help to maintain healthy heart function.*
Olive leaf may also show promise in maintaining healthy blood sugar levels
and in promoting a normal balance of healthy bacteria in the
gastrointestinal tract. More research is warranted to validate its use for
these purposes.*

Known Drug Interactions
Olive leaf may potentiate the effects of blood pressure lowering medications and theoretically may interact with antidiabetic medications due to its potential to affect glucose levels. Further, this herb may interact with drugs that inhibit blood clotting and platelet aggregation, including but not limited to warfarin (Coumadin®), heparin, clopidogrel (Plavix®), pentoxifylline (Trental®), and aspirin, due to its potential effects in encouraging healthy blood formation and blood flow. Before using this formula, talk with your healthcare professional if you take any medications.*
