      <description><![CDATA[Wow! I had absolutely no idea that olive leaves had a place in the mdicine cabinet as well as the kitchen table. It is fascinating that even new, emergent viruses-including SARS!!!- have been shown to be inactivared with olive leaf. It is an amazing one-two punch that olive leaf also acts as a prebiotic/pobiotic support. I will have to do some more reading on olive leaf because it sure has some interesting (and health relevant!) effects]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hello CJ, 
Thank you for your question. Olive leaf extract contains compounds, such as oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol, which can stimulate the gallbladder to release bile. If someone is prone to gallstones, this increased release of bile may lead to increased cholesterol saturation in the gallbladder, potentially contributing to the formation of gallstones. 

Moreover, gallstones are often formed when there is an imbalance in the composition of bile (though most gallstones are made up of cholesterol or bilirubin.) The excess release of bile that can result from olive leaf extract may potentially increase cholesterol concentration in the gallbladder, which can lead to the precipitation of cholesterol crystals and the formation of gallstones.

We hope that helps answer your question. If you'd like to learn more about gallstones, check out this article as well: <a href="https://www.nationalnutrition.ca/articles/health-concerns/gallstones/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">https://www.nationalnutrition.ca/articles/health-concerns/gallstones/</a>

Have a healthy day.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hello Ladine, 

 Olive leaf is an excellent immune boosting supplement, much like oil of oregano and can be taken at the onset of cold and flu symptoms. Thank you for sharing your sisters experience with this supplement. It's always best to seek medical attention when dealing with a bacterial infection; however it's great to see she was working with her doctor. Probiotics are also an important part of maintaining good health when taking supplements such as these. Here's our article on probiotics that you may enjoy.

      <description><![CDATA[My husband and my sister use olive leaf in place of oregano oil when he feels something coming on (like flu). They have found it to be most helpful. Some years ago my sister tested positive for a throat bacteria, being allergic to antibiotics, she took the olive leaf. After retesting in the lab, the hospital found no trace of the bacteria. Scientific enough for her to continue using it.]]></description>
