The power of olives

We associate olives with vacations, pleasant temperatures, relaxation and perhaps even the sea. But olives have way more to offer than that:  As an essential part of the Mediterranean diet, it has long been known that they have a cardioprotective effect and a positive impact on vascular health.

Powerful antioxidant

The main reason for this effect is hydroxytyrosol, a powerful antioxidant that is a natural ingredient of olives which can be enriched through skillful extraction processes. In this way, raw materials can be obtained that contain a particularly high proportion of hydroxytyrosol and are therefore far more effective than those included in olives or olive oil. This is why even a small amount of extract can have the same effect as a handful of olives. But hydroxytyrosol also has a synergetic effect on coronary health when combined with another component of the Mediterranean diet, the omega-3 fatty acids, a natural component of fish. Numerous studies are available on the effects of hydroxytyrosol as well as in combination with omega-3 fatty acids, which prove the positive effects on the heart, blood vessels and vascular circulation as well as its power as an antioxidant. These effects are reflected in the corresponding EU-approved Health Claims.
