Olive leaf extract is a best natural wide-spectrum antimicrobial agents. In a series of experiments, oleuropein was found to inactivate bacteria by apparently dissolving the outer lining of microbes. Research suggests that olive leaf may be a true anti-viral compound because it appears to selectively block an entire virus-specific system in the infected host. It then appears to offer healing effects not addressed by pharmaceutical antibiotics. Olive leaf's broad killing power includes an ability to interfere with critical amino acid production for viruses; an ability to contain viral infection and/or spread by inactivating viruses by preventing virus shredding, budding or assembly at the cell membrane; the ability to directly penetrate infected cells and stop viral replication.

Key Active Ingredients---The first formal medical mention of the olive leaf, which described its ability to cure severe cases of fever and malaria, ocurred about 150 years ago. The author believed that a bitter substance in the leaves was the key healing ingredient. Before long scientists isolated a substance from the leaf and named it oleuropein, a bitter monoterpene glycoside of the chass known as secoiridoids. Oleuropein and products from its hydrolysis such as elenolic acid,
aglycone, and calcium elenolate, a salt derived from elenolic acid, all have their own unique, potent, and multifaceted attributes to add to the anti-microbial functions of the olive leaf. Oleuropein is also one of the major components found in the polyphenolic portion of olive oil.

Functions---Many researches demonstracted oleuropein has powerful effects on anti-bacteria, anti-virus, lowering blood pressure, increasing blood flow in the coronary arteries, relieving arrhythmias, preventing intestinal muscle spasms.
Research and clinical experience to date indicate that olive leaf extract may be beneficial in the treatment for conditions caused by, or associated with, a virus, retrovirus, bacterium, or protozoan. Among such conditions are influenza, the common cold, meningitis, Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), encephalitis, herpes I and II, human herpes virus 6 and 7, shingles, HIV/ARC/AIDS, chronic fatigue, hepatitis B, pneumonia, tuberculosis, gonorrhea, malaria, dengue, bacteremia, severe diarrhea, urinary tract and surgical infections.
