Olivea Supplement Lab Results 2026

Last updated March 28, 2026 · Report #26-072739

We test every batch of Olivea supplements through independent, third-party laboratories before a single bottle ships. No exceptions. The results below are from our most recent Certificate of Analysis (COA), conducted by Certified Laboratories in Tustin, California — an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited facility specializing in botanical ingredients, dietary supplements, and foods.

This page exists because we believe you should know exactly what you're putting in your body. Not marketing claims. Not "proprietary blends." The actual lab numbers.


The Headline Number

23.54 mg
hydroxytyrosol per capsule — 17.7% above label claim of 20 mg

Hydroxytyrosol is the polyphenol that matters most. It's the compound the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) specifically recognizes for protecting blood lipids from oxidative stress — the mechanism behind the heart-healthy reputation of Mediterranean diets.

Most olive oil supplements either don't contain meaningful levels of hydroxytyrosol, or they don't test for it. We do both.


What We Test For

Every batch goes through three categories of testing: potency, purity, and safety.

Potency

Test Method Result Spec
Hydroxytyrosol HPLC (SOP 3.1.349) 23.54 mg/capsule ≥20 mg/capsule
Average Fill Weight Gravimetric (10 capsules) 195.92 mg/capsule N/A
What this means HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) is the gold standard for measuring individual polyphenol compounds. It isolates hydroxytyrosol specifically — not a vague "total polyphenol" number that could include compounds with no proven health benefit. When we say 23.54 mg, that's 23.54 mg of the exact compound linked to cardiovascular protection in clinical research.

Purity: Heavy Metals

Metal Method Result Context
Arsenic (As) ICP-MS 0.045 ppm Well below FDA limits
Cadmium (Cd) ICP-MS 0.010 ppm Well below FDA limits
Lead (Pb) ICP-MS 0.033 ppm Well below Prop 65 threshold
Mercury (Hg) ICP-MS Not detected (<0.001 ppm) Below detection limit
What this means Heavy metals occur naturally in soil, water, and plant matter. The question isn't whether trace amounts exist — it's whether they're at levels that matter. All four metals tested far below regulatory thresholds. Mercury wasn't even detectable.

Safety: Microbial Panel

Test Method Result
Total Aerobic Microbial Count Modified USP 2021 <10 CFU/g
Coliform Count AOAC 991.14 <10 CFU/g
Yeast Count USP 2021 <10 CFU/g
Mold Count USP 2021 <10 CFU/g
E. coli Modified USP 2022 Absent
Salmonella Modified USP 2022 Absent
Staphylococcus aureus Modified USP 2022 Absent
P. aeruginosa USP 62 Absent
What this means Every pathogenic organism tested came back absent. The aerobic counts are at the lowest detectable threshold (<10 CFU/g). The full 7-method bundle is the comprehensive screening — it doesn't just check for the obvious pathogens, it sweeps for everything.

The Cap-in-Cap Format

Our supplement isn't a standard pill. It's a capsule inside a capsule:

Inner Capsule

Concentrated hydroxytyrosol extract — this is where the 23.54 mg lives.

Outer Capsule

High-phenolic Greek extra virgin olive oil as the absorption matrix.

Why does this matter? Hydroxytyrosol is a polyphenol — and polyphenols absorb better when delivered with healthy fats. The outer EVOO layer isn't filler. It's the delivery mechanism. This is the same principle behind why the Mediterranean diet works: you consume polyphenols with olive oil, not in isolation.

Each capsule is 5 calories. One per day.

Most supplement brands show you a Supplement Facts panel and ask you to trust them. We think that's not enough. When my dad died of a sudden heart attack at 56, I started questioning everything about vascular health. What I found was that the compounds in high-quality olive oil — specifically hydroxytyrosol — are among the most researched natural protectors of cardiovascular health. But I also found that most supplements either don't contain what they claim, or they hide behind "proprietary blends" that make it impossible to verify. That's why every Olivea product comes with published lab results. Not because regulators require it. Because you deserve to know what you're taking.
