Looking for natural ways to control blood pressure? Olive leaf extract (OLE) is a herbal extract used medicinally in Mediterranean countries over thousands of years. In the last 50 years, olive leaf extract, together with its active ingredient oleuropein, has been the subject of a number of European scientific studies. Researchers at the University of Granada found OLE relaxed arterial walls and lowered blood pressure.
Other cardio benefits of OLE:
- improved blood flow (Bulgarian research)
- reduced oxidation of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, a factor associated with plaque on the walls of the arteries (Univeristy of Milan)
- decreased arrhythmia
- improved blood sugar stability
