Olive leaf and Heart Studies
Studies at the University of Messina in Italy focused on cardiovascular health. They showed that oleuropein increases blood flow to the heart by dilating coronary blood vessels, and lowers blood pressure. The olive leaf also contains bioflavonoids (natural vitamin C helpers) including rutin, luteolin and hesperidin. In addition to boosting the numerous benefits of vitamin C as a stress protector and antioxidant, these bioflavonoids are needed for maintenance of capillary walls.
