The Story of the Olive Leaf
During the time that Spain and France were at war in 1801-1813, Spanish war zone doctors discovered a secret that amounted to the unlocking of a military weapon. A slightly bitter, green drink made from olive leaves was distributed to wounded soldiers with high fevers as a medicinal drink that lowered their body temperatures from an extremely dangerous 104 degrees Fahrenheit to 101 degrees Fahrenheit, so that these feverish soldiers could quickly enter the front lines and repel the French attack.
Between 1827 and 1855, there were medical reports that a bitter tea made from olive leaves could cure malaria, and that the leaves were boiled in water and taken as a remedy by malaria patients, sometimes with alcohol infused into it as a drink. At present, one of the most important criteria used to determine the quality of olive leaf products available in pharmacies and health stores in the United States is the oleuropein content, which is generally 6%.

The main hydroxytyrosol supplied is 3%-30% of HPLC detectable powder and 20%-50% of HPLC detectable paste.
Next, let's talk about what hydroxytyrosol can do.
HYDROXYTYROSOL
Hydroxytyrosol has higher anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects than ampicillin and erythromycin. Besides relieving fatigue and forgetfulness, it can also have good whitening and antioxidant effects.
Regarding pharmaceutical use, due to the unique antibacterial effect of hydroxytyrosol, scientific research has found that it has a particularly prominent effect on the improvement of diabetic retinopathy, the inhibition of Alzheimer's disease and anti-tumor in several areas.
For health food, because hydroxytyrosol can relieve brain fatigue, enhance immunity and other effects, its powder can be used directly in the raw materials added to such effect health food.
In skin care cosmetics, the antioxidant effect of hydroxytyrosol is more than twice that of resveratrol, and because of its powerful antioxidant effect, international high-end cosmetics have already used hydroxytyrosol in their skin care products.
In the field of food additives, hydroxytyrosol is used as an antioxidant and antimicrobial agent in food. Hydroxytyrosol prevents oxidative degradation in foods rich in fish fats. In addition, Hydroxytyrosol has been certified by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as "Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS)" because of its "high safety profile". Hydroxytyrosol is currently added to edible oils, bakery products, meat products, beverages, etc. to retard food spoilage.
