Olive Leaf NSP

The olive tree has been valued since ancient Greece. Its fruit and leaves were used in traditional practice for their soothing and antiviral reputation. The tree symbolised wellbeing and spread across Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Modern nutraceutical makers use olive leaf as a natural ally against oxidative stress, lowered immunity, and concerns affecting the gallbladder and cardiovascular system. One such formula is Olive Leaf from NSP.

Properties of Olive Leaf NSP

Olive Leaf offers broad support thanks to its natural chemistry. European olive leaves contain:

• organic acids and vitamins for general nutritional support;
• oleuropein — important for heart and vessel health;
• flavonoids — antioxidant compounds that help ease inflammation and strengthen vessel walls;
• bitter principles with antibacterial activity;
• tannins that help calm inflammation, support clearer vessels and assist the body in clearing toxins;
• essential oil with a general tonic effect.

How the NSP formula supports you

• helps strengthen immune defences;
• supports bile production and flow;
• has a mild diuretic effect;
• helps discourage clot formation and supports cleaner vessels;
• helps the body clear toxins and recover from harmful exposures;
• supports healthy blood pressure;
• helps ease inflammatory discomfort — olive leaf teas were traditionally used in fever;
• helps the body respond to infections, fungi and parasites; research suggests olive extract can reduce the virulence of certain pathogens;
• helps protect cells from free radicals;
• supports skin recovery and wound healing.

Across Europe, olive appears in capsules, oils, balms and hair rinses.

How to use

Take Olive Leaf with meals, as with other NSP nutraceuticals. Your nutritionist can fine-tune the dose. The label suggests 1 capsule 1–3 times a day. Do not exceed the daily amount.

When it is used

Olive leaf has a wide traditional profile. Four main areas stand out:

• Immune support. May be used alongside care for viral concerns — including cold sores, respiratory infections of various origins, and hepatitis. Also used as adjunctive support for conjunctivitis, urticaria and eczema. At the height of the cold and flu season, many people take it preventively. It is also used when fungal or parasitic concerns are being addressed.
• Oxidative stress. As a strong antioxidant, olive leaf helps counter free-radical load from industrial exposures, emotional strain and toxin build-up. It can support skin recovery in acne and help restore tone in demanding periods.
• Gallbladder support. Traditionally used to support stone breakdown and bile flow; also used as a mild diuretic for fluid retention.
• Heart and vessels. Helps support blood pressure in hypertension, discourages clot formation in atherosclerosis, and improves tissue circulation.

NSP olive formulas have long been familiar to European nutritionists as part of everyday wellness plans.

Composition — Olive Leaf

The NSP phytopreparation is a concentrated extract of European olive leaf (Olea europaea). Each capsule provides 420 mg of extract; with the gelatin shell the capsule weighs 585 mg. A full bottle of 60 capsules covers a typical course.

Cautions

Olive leaf is a wholly natural ingredient, widely used in food and cosmetics, and usually well tolerated. Main cautions: pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you have chronic gallbladder inflammation or cholecystitis, seek advice first — the cholagogue effect may not suit everyone.

Storage

Sensitive to sunlight. Store in a dark place at no more than 25°C. Keep away from children and pets.
