Olive Leaf (15% Oleuropein)

History:

Extending an Olive branch has been a traditional means of offering peace since ancient times, and the Olive Leaf has remained the symbol of peace and prosperity to this very day. It should also be a symbol of good health. The "Tree of Life" is an evergreen that has been cultivated in the Mediterranean regions since the Neolithic period and may grow to a height of twenty-five feet with flowers and leathery, dark green leaves. It thrives in well-drained soil in full sun. The Olive tree is native to Asia Minor and the eastern Mediterranean region and is now still widely cultivated there, as well as in many other tropical climates of the world. It has been revered since ancient times for its health and nutritional benefits and has been mentioned in The Bible in many instances: A dove carried an Olive Leaf back to Noah to indicate that the flood had abated, and Moses is said to have exempted Olive growers from military service. The garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus prayed, was filled with Olive trees, and there are Olive trees still growing that date back well over a thousand years. Considerable attention has been paid of late to the superior virtues of Olive oil, but recent research into the Olive Leaf has demonstrated exceptional value in the area of immune system support for a variety of health issues. In the early twentieth century, a bitter compound from the leaf, oleuropein, was isolated and shown to possess powerful properties, and in 1962, another component, elenolic acid, demonstrated further potent health qualities. Some constituents in Olive Leaf include oleuropein, elenolic acid, oleanic acid, tannins, calcium, beta-sitosterol, glycoside, mannitol and flavonoids (apigenin, luteolin, chrysoeriol, hesperidin, rutin, quercetin and kaempferol).
