Olive polyphenol complex is a standardised extract from olive leaves and fruit, rich in hydroxytyrosol, oleuropein, tyrosol and other phenolic compounds. These are the bioactives responsible for the cardiovascular benefits of the Mediterranean diet and extra virgin olive oil. The complex provides a concentrated dose of polyphenols without the calories of olive oil.
Oleuropein inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), producing vasodilation and blood pressure reduction. Hydroxytyrosol is one of the most potent dietary antioxidants, scavenging free radicals and protecting LDL from oxidation. Together they enhance nitric oxide bioavailability, improve endothelial function and reduce inflammatory cytokines. A 2025 RCT in 621 hypertensive patients showed olive leaf extract significantly reduced 24-hour systolic BP by 6.4 mmHg vs placebo. A 2022 meta-analysis of 12 RCTs (n=819) confirmed significant reductions in systolic BP (-3.86 mmHg), triglycerides (-9.51 mg/dl) and LDL.
Individuals with elevated blood pressure seeking natural adjunctive support. Those wanting Mediterranean diet polyphenol benefits in supplement form. People with dyslipidaemia and metabolic syndrome. Individuals interested in longevity and antioxidant support. Not a replacement for antihypertensive medication.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women (safety not established at supplemental doses). Individuals on antihypertensive medications without medical supervision (additive BP-lowering effect). Those with hypotension. People with olive allergies. Side effects: Generally well-tolerated. Mild gastrointestinal upset or headache in rare cases. Very high doses may cause hypotension in sensitive individuals. No serious adverse events reported in RCTs.
