What are the various uses of olive leaf extract?

•    Balancing of blood pressure:

This is one of the best extracts that is useful for lowering of blood pressure. There are polyphenol compounds found in olives. This is helpful for prevention for formation of arterial plaques. The “adhesion molecules” which cause platelets and white blood cells, to stick to arterial walls to form the plaques are removed. Formation of platelet aggregation is also reduced and hence clogging of walls is stopped. Thus, this becomes helpful in maintaining the pressure of the body.

•    Diabetes treatment:

This is important because olive leaf extract can be used to reduce the glucose and cholesterol level in the blood. The oleuropein slows the absorption of sugar from the intestines, thus, increasing the level of other antioxidant levels.

The oleuropein content help in reducing the inflammation of the tumor cells. It also helps in reducing the ability of the malignant cells to respond to oestrogen, and also stops the production of “protein melting” enzymes which are required by cancer cells.
