Olive Leaf

Olive leaf is an herb that comes from the same Mediterranean tree from which olive oil is produced. Like the oil, the leaf contains antioxidant compounds. Of particular interest is a chemical called oleuropein, which is the same antioxidant polyphenol responsible for the tangy, slightly bitter taste of good quality olive oil. The whole herb is tinctured or used to make tea, usually in combination with other herbs to enhance flavor. Powdered olive leaf is encapsulated as a dietary supplement, used as an ingredient in cosmetics and other topical preparations, or is used as a seasoning and food additive.
