The incidence of high blood pressure and metabolic stress is on the rise, and more people are turning to natural, gentle remedies. Two extracts from the olive tree—its leaves and fruit—have been studied in clinical trials for their role in supporting balanced blood pressure, metabolism, and overall circulatory health.
What Are Olive Leaf & Fruit Extracts?
Olive leaf extract from the leaves of Olea europaea is a rich source of oleuropein, a potent polyphenol that is metabolized into hydroxytyrosol, one of nature’s strongest antioxidants.
Olive fruit extract, on the other hand, contains hydroxytyrosol directly, providing immediate antioxidant potency and vascular support.
Together, they help to:
- Protect blood vessels by reducing LDL oxidation
- Support normal blood pressure via improved endothelial function and nitric oxide synthesis
- Encourage healthier metabolic markers such as triglycerides and fasting glucose
How They Work Together
Both olive leaf and fruit extracts act synergistically:
- Oleuropein supports circulatory function and helps maintain healthy blood pressure
- Hydroxytyrosol protects the endothelium and reduces oxidative stress
Combined, they contribute to cardiovascular resilience and metabolic balance.
Real-World Benefits: What Science Shows
A large Belgian observational study of 663 individuals with (pre-)hypertension taking a botanical blend for two months (100 mg oleuropein + 20 mg hydroxytyrosol per day) showed:
- Systolic/Diastolic blood pressure dropped by an average of 13 ± 10 / 7 ± 6.6 mmHg
- Improvements in metabolic syndrome markers: reduced triglycerides (–11%), abdominal circumference (–1.4 cm), fasting glucose (–4.8%), and increased HDL-C (+5.3%)
- Greater benefits among individuals with high baseline blood pressure or prediabetes/diabetes
Who May Benefit?
Olive leaf and fruit extracts may be especially helpful for those who:
- Experience borderline or mild hypertension
- Show signs of metabolic syndrome: high blood sugar, high triglycerides, or increased waist circumference
- Prefer plant-based support instead of synthetic medicines
- Seek cardiovascular protection from natural antioxidants
