Olive Leaf Extract 500mg | 20% Oleuropein | Swanson

Swanson Olive Leaf Extract

Olive leaf extract comes from the leaves of the olive tree (Olea europaea), a tree that has defined the Mediterranean landscape for thousands of years. While the olive and its oil are well known in the kitchen, the leaves have traditionally been used separately. Swanson provides a standardized extract with a fixed oleuropein content, the most well-known plant compound in the leaf.

Standardized to 20% oleuropein

Each capsule contains 500 mg of olive leaf extract, standardized to at least 20% oleuropein. That amounts to approximately 100 mg of oleuropein per capsule. Thanks to standardization, you get a consistent amount of this polyphenol in each capsule, unlike dried leaves, whose content varies.

Non-GMO and gluten-free

The product is free from genetically modified ingredients, gluten, and artificial components. In addition to the extract, the capsule contains only fillers and an anti-caking agent. Swanson opts for a clean formula without unnecessary additives.

Two capsules per day

A bottle contains 60 or 120 capsules; at 2 capsules per day, this will last for 30 or 60 days. This makes olive leaf extract a plant-based supplement that you can take consistently as a complement to a Mediterranean-oriented diet.

Olive tree leaves

The olive tree can live for hundreds of years and grows around the entire Mediterranean. While the fruit and oil have conquered the kitchen, the leaves have traditionally been used separately. They contain oleuropein, a polyphenol that is found in lower concentrations in the oil. Swanson extracts this from the leaves and standardizes it to 20% oleuropein, so that each capsule delivers the same amount. The extract is free from genetically modified ingredients and gluten. This way, you get a fixed dose of this plant compound, something that is more difficult to measure with dried leaves or loose tea.
