Olivea: Hydroxytyrosol Supplement

Olive oil is healthy because it’s loaded with natural antioxidants called polyphenols. These help support your heart, arteries, inflammation levels, and overall cellular health. The stronger the olive oil (early-harvest, high-phenolic), the more powerful the benefits.

Polyphenols are bioactive antioxidant molecules naturally present in olives. The key ones—hydroxytyrosol, oleuropein, and tyrosol—have been shown in human studies to:

• reduce LDL oxidation (an EFSA-approved claim)
• support endothelial (arterial) function
• improve markers of inflammation and oxidative stress
• contribute to cardiovascular and metabolic health

These polyphenols are the reason the Mediterranean diet is linked to improved heart and longevity outcomes.

Hydroxytyrosol is the most powerful polyphenol found in olives — and one of the strongest natural antioxidants ever discovered. It plays a key role in protecting LDL particles from oxidation (an EFSA-approved benefit), supporting healthy arteries, balancing inflammation, and promoting cellular resilience.

It’s extremely rare in normal diets: even high-quality olive oil contains only small amounts, which is why concentrated hydroxytyrosol is so valuable for daily cardiovascular and longevity support.

Olive polyphenols are some of the most powerful natural compounds for protecting vascular health. They’ve been clinically shown to help improve endothelial (arterial) function, reduce LDL oxidation, and support healthy inflammation—key factors associated with long-term heart health and reduced cardiovascular risk.

To experience these benefits, research shows you need a meaningful daily intake of hydroxytyrosol. The EFSA recognizes benefits at 5mg per day, yet even high-quality extra virgin olive oils typically contain only 1–3mg per tablespoon, and levels vary widely.

An olive polyphenol supplement ensures you get a consistent, clinically relevant amount every day. Olivea provides 20mg of hydroxytyrosol—4× the EFSA minimum—in a reliable, easy-to-take form that would be nearly impossible to achieve through western diets alone.

Polyphenol levels in extra virgin olive oil vary significantly and decline as the oil ages. Exposure to light, oxygen, and time naturally reduces these compounds, which means the amount you get from a bottle changes from producer to producer and even from month to month after opening. Because of this variability, it is almost impossible to know whether you are getting a meaningful daily intake from standard EVOO or olive oil shots.

Research also shows that polyphenol density matters. In studies where two groups consumed the same total amount of polyphenols per day, the group that received a high-phenolic olive oil experienced greater improvements in arterial function and oxidative blood markers than the group that consumed a larger quantity of low-phenolic oil. This indicates that you cannot simply drink more olive oil to compensate for lower phenolic content. The concentration and stability of the polyphenols influence the actual biological effect.

Olivea solves both problems by providing a consistent, stable, high-phenolic dose each day. Every capsule delivers 20 milligrams of hydroxytyrosol inside a base of high-phenolic Greek olive oil. There is no degradation, no uncertainty around potency, and no need to consume large amounts of oil to reach the levels used in human studies. Olivea is the most practical and reliable way to achieve a daily polyphenol intake that supports vascular health.

Clinical studies consistently show that olive polyphenols support markers linked to long-term cardiovascular health. Research has observed improvements in measures of arterial function, reductions in oxidative stress, and healthier responses to inflammation. These effects appear when polyphenols are consumed consistently and at meaningful daily levels.

One of the most recognized findings comes from the European Food Safety Authority, which concluded that olive polyphenols help protect LDL particles from oxidative damage. This is considered an important factor in maintaining normal cardiovascular function.

Across many trials, the pattern is the same: regular intake of olive polyphenols supports healthier vascular physiology. Olivea was created to reflect this body of evidence in a simple daily format.

Olivea is designed for anyone who wants to support their vascular system, which influences energy, cognition, metabolism, and long-term cardiovascular health. It is especially relevant for people who:

- want to support heart and vascular health proactively

- have a family history of cardiovascular or metabolic concerns

- value longevity and the idea of maintaining strong health as they age

- want to maintain healthy cholesterol behavior, especially around LDL oxidation

- are curious about optimizing underlying physiology and tracking biomarkers

- prefer natural, evidence-backed approaches to long-term wellness

Olivea is for anyone who cares about supporting their healthspan and wants to feel strong, energized, and resilient as they age.

Olive polyphenols are powerful natural antioxidants that help support the vascular system, which delivers oxygen and nutrients to every cell and organ in the body. Because your vascular network spans more than 60,000 miles, its integrity influences energy, cognition, metabolism, and long-term cardiovascular health.

One important way polyphenols contribute to vascular health is by helping protect LDL particles from oxidation, which is considered the first step in the development of arterial plaque. By supporting healthier LDL behavior and reducing oxidative stress, olive polyphenols help maintain smoother, more efficient vascular function over time.

Hydroxytyrosol, the key polyphenol in Olivea, has also been shown to support endothelial function, vascular flexibility, and overall arterial integrity. These mechanisms form the foundation for long-term cardiovascular resilience and overall systemic health.

People often associate healthy vascular function with steady daily energy, clearer focus, and general vitality. Some also notice benefits in areas influenced by blood flow and antioxidant activity, such as skin appearance and overall well-being. And even when the effects are not immediately felt, hydroxytyrosol is working quietly in the background, helping support and protect the vascular system from the inside out.

Olivea is made from all-natural ingredients that naturally occur in olives, including high-phenolic extra virgin olive oil and hydroxytyrosol. These compounds are very well tolerated, and most people can take Olivea daily just as they would consume olive oil as part of a Mediterranean-style diet.

That said, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you take medications related to blood pressure, blood thinners, or cholesterol management, it is always a good idea to check with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.

For most individuals, Olivea fits comfortably into a long-term routine as a foundational source of antioxidant and vascular support, similar to other natural supplements people use to support overall health.

We source our olive oil from single-origin Koroneiki olives grown in Messinia, Greece. This region is known for producing some of the highest-phenolic oils in the world due to its climate, altitude, and early-harvest practice. The oil is mechanically cold-pressed and immediately stored in nitrogen-flushed stainless steel to preserve its phenolic profile.

Our hydroxytyrosol is naturally derived and standardized from olive fruit and leaf extracts, ensuring consistent potency. All ingredients are tested before and after encapsulation for phenolic content, purity, and stability.

Yes. Every batch of Olivea is third-party tested to verify polyphenol content, purity, and overall quality. We use both HPLC and NMR testing to confirm the levels of hydroxytyrosol and other key phenolic compounds, and we screen for contaminants such as heavy metals and microbes.

We also test the stability of our olive oil to ensure it maintains its phenolic strength from harvest through encapsulation. These steps allow us to deliver a consistent, high-phenolic product that reflects the standards seen in published research.

Take one Olivea capsule per day, which provides 20 milligrams of hydroxytyrosol along with high-phenolic Greek olive oil. This amount is well above the minimum levels shown to be successful in clinical studies and is four times the EFSA daily minimum associated with supporting normal vascular function.

You can take Olivea at any time of day, with or without food. Many people take it in the morning simply to make it part of a consistent routine, but there is no specific timing required.

The most important factor is daily consistency, since olive polyphenols show their strongest benefits with steady, long-term use, similar to how they function within the Mediterranean diet.
