The Health Benefits of Polyphenol-Rich Olive Oil: 6 Reasons Why It's More Than Just a Superfood

Olive oil has long been an integral part of the Mediterranean diet and is valued for its health benefits. Polyphenol-rich olive oil, in particular, offers far-reaching health benefits that go beyond ordinary oils. Here are the key reasons why polyphenol-rich olive oil like O'Liv PLUS is essential:

What are polyphenols in olive oil?

Polyphenols are secondary plant compounds found in many foods such as fruits, vegetables, and olives. They act as antioxidants and protect cells from harmful free radicals caused by environmental toxins, UV radiation, or alcohol. Polyphenols such as tyrosol, hydroxytyrosol, and oleuropein are particularly present in high-quality olive oil and contribute significantly to its health benefits.

Why are polyphenols important in nature?

In plants, polyphenols act as a protective mechanism against environmental influences such as UV radiation and pests. When we consume polyphenol-rich foods like olive oil, we also benefit from these antioxidant properties. Polyphenols play a particularly crucial role in protecting blood lipids from harmful oxidation, which supports long-term health.

Why is polyphenol-rich olive oil better than conventional olive oil?

Most supermarket olive oils contain only small amounts of polyphenols—often between 50 and 100 mg/kg. Polyphenol-rich oils like O'Liv PLUS stand out by containing at least 750 mg/kg of polyphenols. This means O'Liv PLUS offers up to 50 times more antioxidant power, resulting in significant protection against oxidative stress and improved blood lipid levels.

How does O'Liv PLUS protect blood lipids?

The polyphenols contained in O'Liv PLUS prevent the harmful oxidation of LDL cholesterol, while the linoleic acid it contains contributes to maintaining normal cholesterol levels. Thanks to its high polyphenol content, just 10 ml of O'Liv PLUS daily is sufficient to achieve this positive effect.

How should you use O'Liv PLUS in your diet?

O'Liv PLUS is easy to incorporate into your daily diet. It works best when consumed raw, for example as a salad dressing or on its own on an empty stomach. Just as has been practiced in the Mediterranean diet for centuries, you can also reap the health benefits by consuming 10 ml of O'Liv PLUS daily.

Why is O'Liv PLUS the best choice?

O'Liv PLUS is characterized by its extremely high polyphenol content and scientifically proven effect on blood lipids. Compared to conventional oils, it provides an unparalleled antioxidant effect and contributes significantly to protection against oxidative stress. It is the ideal choice if you want to support your health and maintain normal cholesterol levels.
